The human face and the body have long been considered as enigmatic plates in which deep shades of meaning occur. Studies within İlm-i Sima in the East and physiognomy in the West gained momentum with the emergence of cultural studies in the second half of the twentieth century. Physiognomy examines the human face and the body as symbolic spaces of cultural signs. The novel, on the other hand, manifests a space where these physiognomies are being displayed. The objective of this study is to reveal the physiognomy of Turkish modernization as a Non-western modernity and to analyze the handling of knowledge (epistemology) and being (ontology) in the modern Turkish novel through the physiognomy of fictional characters. A close reading of Halit Ziya’s novels through Foucault’s notions of historical a priori and archive revealed that the characters’ faces bodies can be interpreted as the precursors of a new epistemology. CloseC readings of Peyami Safa’s novels Yalnızız and Matmazel Noraliya’nın Koltuğu through Daryush Shayegan’s notion of ontological displacement showed that Safa designed the faces and bodies of his characters as cultural symbols as well as the representation of his philosophical ideals. The selected texts Mai ve Siyah and Aşk-ı Memnu by Halit Ziya Uşaklıgil as well as Yalnızız and Matmazel Noraliya’nın Koltuğu by Peyami Safa will be examined through the lense of the physiognomy of characters in terms of their relation to the peculiarity of Turkish modernization as non-Western modernity
