The Dialectic Image in Adalet Agaoglu's Stories
(Selcuk Univ, Fac Letters, 2020) Soylu, Huseyin
The dialectic image is an important fictional structure that determines and shapes the specific aesthetic nature and narrative characteristics of literary text. An author's consciousness as a producer provides a fictional mediation between image and reality. With this fictional mediation, the forms of reality are transformed by the author through images. The transformation process manifests itself in the fictional structure. Dialectic images that determine the narrative characteristics and unique specificity of literary text are highlighted with this transformation process. Dialectic images are not structures exempt from ideology and the author's intention in literary text. In this sense, they have the feature of being a fictional tool that determines the various orientations and central points of literary texts. Adalet Agaoglu is a prominent writer in modern Turkish literature that transforms and configures social reality and ideological contents in aesthetic sense. The stories of Agaoglu are significant literary genres which produce aesthetics and ideology's mutual relations in a textual structure. Dialectic images in Agaoglu's stories emerge as both aesthetic and ideological messages. They faun a structural integrity with the specific fictional relationships of the stories. In this way, Agaoglu forms an imaginary integrity between aesthetics and ideology within a textual structure. She creates a distinctive sense of literary perception. In this article, the stories of Agaoglu will be examined within the context of dialectic image considering their aesthetic and ideological structures.
Postmodern Subject and Narrative in Bilge Karasu's Novels Gece and Kilavuz
(Selcuk Univ, inst Turkish Studies, 2022) Soylu, Huseyin
Postmodernism is a phenomenon that arises against the holistic and systematic structure, normative patterns of classical and modern ways of thinking. It opposes traditional distinctions in both cultural and intellectual terms, conceptual presuppositions and judgments that form a hierarchy within themselves. Postmodernism parses reductive and single-centered class clusters, instead creating a polyphonic, marginal image of society. In the literary sense postmodernism tries to break precise sequences of meaning, fictional patterns that lack connotation. It destroys the god-like fictional dominance of the author, the two-dimensional structure of narrative subjects, the stereotyped narrative status quo. In postmodernism conventional dualities, fiction, and truth, extraordinary and ordinary, fake and truth, basis and margin collide with each other. Postmodernist writing in Western literature is the result of certain aesthetic innovations and processes developed against Modernism. However, in Turkish literature, art of novel reaches its artistic maturity at a later period. For this reason, modernist and postmodernist innovative aesthetic qualities appear together in some works. In Turkish literature, the postmodernist novel reaches its original and radical form in the 1980s and 1990s. Bilge Karasu, in this context, is one of the most important names in Turkish literature that includes the form of postmodernist writing and the dynamic characteristics of postmodern literature. His novels, Gece and the Kilavuz, are distinctive works that contain the postmodern narrative structure and subjects. The aim of this study is to examine the construction of postmodern subjectivity in Gece and Kilavuz, taking into account the qualities of postmodern writing.
Narrative Pace in Adalet Agaoglu's Stories
(Istanbul Univ, 2020) Soylu, Huseyin
Narrative pace is the fundamental determiner of temporal transitions in a literary text; it governs the continuity and rhythm of certain facts or events illustrated in the text. A literary text acquires its fictional integrity and compositional patterns through myriad flows and accelerations that accompany the narrative pace, thereby revealing intellectual and ideological representations through compositional maneuvers. Thus, the narrative pace is a fictional tool that mediates between narrative aesthetics and ideology. The narrative pace offers a domain extension and transitional space to the literary text through ideology-laden syntactic repetitions and textual momentum. The narrative pace can further be articulated through leitmotifs, which becomes a descriptive strategy that signifies the fictional velocity and acceleration of a literary text. Adalet Agaoglu was an important literary personality in Turkish literature. She established a fictional connection between the literary and aesthetic realities of the narrative and its ideological ground. In her stories, the narrative pace manifests this link and reveals the associations between narrative aesthetics and ideology. This study examines Adalet Agaoglu's fiction from the perspective of narrative pace, attending specifically to the relationships between aesthetics and ideology.
