The Occurrence of the Postmodern Novel in Turkish Literature

Abstract

in the last half century, postmodernism took place on the agenda of fiction, among all fields of science. In recent years, the work of representatives of modern world literature, in particular Turkic literature, has been studied.Continuing this tradition, this article explores the penetration and development of the traditions of postmodernism in modern Turkish literature.

Also, this article summarizes scientific conclusions about the work of Oghuz atay, Ferit Edgu, Yusuf Atilgan, O'rkhan Pamuk and other writers who are pioneers of Postmodern Romanism in Turkish literature. The Turkish Postmodern novel begins to abandon the tradition of novels in the direction of socialist realism, referring to individual and new narrative methods, not limited only to these titles and those works. In the following years, writers such as Tomris Uyar, Sevinch chokum, Alev Alatlı, Mustafa Kutlu, Mehmet Eroğlu, Selim ileri, Ahmet Altan, Nedim Gürsel, Elif shafaq and Ihsan O'ktay Anar are among the most progressive representatives of today's Turkish Postmodern literature.

Through this article, important aspects, key elements characteristic of Turkish Postmodern novels have been researched. Postmodern writers used elements that were completely contrary to the tools employed by modernists in shaping the artistry of the Postmodern text. One of these elements is the process of determining the structure of the text, the location of other artistic fragments within the text. In this direction, creative writers note that the world described in the Postmodern novel is imaginary, in the essence of which there is a huge emphasis.
