The Fictional Function of Tradition in the novels of Latife Tekin and Chinghiz Aitmatov and a Study in the Context of Intertextuality
Journal Title: Söylem Filoloji Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
As a movement of art/literature, postmodernism has firstly shown up in 70s in Turkish Literature; and in 80s, many writers has consciously produced their works in the context of postmodernism. Intertextuality, one of the key techniques of this movement, paved the way for using tradition. Latife Tekin and Chinghiz Aitmatov has also used this technique and established a bond among traditional narratives such as epics, fables, folk stories and functionalized it in their works. In this study, the traces of Ak-Köbök legend and “the motif of naming” itself or its connotations were scrutinized in the texts of Tekin and Aitmatov. In brief, in the article, the traces of traditional narratives and oral culture were firstly detected and after analyzed in both writers’ novels.
