受到以地方作爲發展的生態文學批評概念所影響，本論文旨在人與非人的關係和跨在地性(translocality)兩個問題意識上，試圖結合「跨在地」議題與「量子非定域」原則的概念，重新探討土耳其最具生態觀點之現代主義作家—即以哈利卡納瑟斯的漁夫(The Fisherman of Halicarnassus)爲其筆名的喀巴卡克里(Cevat Shakir Kabaagacli)(1886-1972)。哈利卡納瑟斯的漁夫因關照波德倫半島上獨特的動植物生態及其海洋生活詩學，成爲一位相當重要的在地生態作家。他對於「白海」（地中海）的敘述，可作爲量子非定域性的文學例子來說明所有物質過程中的不可分割性。在他的小說中，海洋生物與人類行爲關聯甚密，互相滲透，他不僅以這片具有穿透性的畛域作爲非定域性概念的表徵，同時也將海洋生物具現爲打破疆界區分的跨地域實體。

This ecocritical essay discusses the Mediterranean narratives of The Fisherman of Halicarnassus, the pen name of Cevat Şakir Kabaağaçclı (1886-1972), Turkey's most environmentally oriented Modernist writer. His poetics of marine life, and flora and fauna specific to Bodrum peninsula qualify The Fisherman as an important bioregional writer. His narratives of the White Sea, the Turkish name for the Mediterrenean, constitute exemplary literary reflections of quantum nonlocality which is the principle of inseparability of all material processes. The permeable boundaries in his fictions between life in the sea and human agencies create such intimate connectedness that inevitably recall this quantum principle of nonlocality. He also launches the sea fauna as translocal entities without any sense of demarcations. The Fisherman's uniqueness lies in bringing these cultural (translocal) and the quantum (nonlocal) notions into dialogue. By focusing on The Fisherman's special sea-discourse that has brought Bodrum its present fame, this essay contends that the writer's continual emphasis on the ethical partnership between human and non-human life has immensely contributed to bringing the biological diversity and cultural richness of the region to public attention and in raising ecological awareness about the endemic species of the Bodrum peninsula.
