In this respect, two fundamental dimensions of the republican ideology, modernization and nationalism are considered; and the reflection of these two motives on the political agenda is analyzed through both the works and the debates of period’s Turkish literary world. Further, this thesis attempts to develop a proper theoretical framework derived from the Post-colonial literature theory in order to have a better understanding of the investigated case.135 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessLiteratureTurkish PoetryTurkish NovelModernizationNationalismHomi BhabhaPL207 .B57 2000Turkish literature History and criticism.ThesisBILKUTUPB053312
