dc.description.abstract | Early Ottoman novels are simple “imitation”s of the French realism from
the point of post-Republican critical discourse that establishes a direct relationship
between the birth of the novel and the Ottoman modernisation process of the
nineteenth century. Combining this claim with the “fact” that Ottoman novelists
merely instrumentalised the genre in order to pursue their political aims, the birth
of the Ottoman novel is assumed to be a process of technical “inferiority”. The
main source of such inferiority, hence, is supposed to be the influence of the
Ottoman Classical (Divan) poetry. On the other hand, this study essentially claims
that a different theoretical paradigm is necessary to be able to evaluate both the
process of social transformation that determines the emergence of the novel as a
literary form and the novels produced in this process. Then, the source of such
degrading viewpoint is not the novels themselves but the Eurocentric theoretical
perspective of the post-Republican critical discourse.
This study provides the literature survey on the post-Republican critiques
about the Ottoman novels and the analysis of their multi-layered narrative structure
to prove its basic claim. The multi-layered narrative structure is the result of the
transformative synthesis of the narrative techniques of both the French realism and
the Divan poetry. The novels are interpreted in a way that would reveal the
political discussions on the transformation of the power structure of the empire and
the aesthetical evaluation of the novel as a literary genre. The love narrative
provided on the literal level acts as the basis of this multi-layered structure and
carries two different narrative layers by synthesising the metaphorical narrative
structure of the Divan poetry with technical narrative tools of the French realism. | en_US |
