A Narratological Analysis on the Short Story "Düşkırıcı" of Tomris Uyar
Journal Title: Söylem Filoloji Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Tomris Uyar, one of the significant representatives of the short story genre with her works written from 1970 until the beginning of the 2000s, places society and individual on the basis of her works. By directly bringing the social problems of the period into the content of the story, the author emphasizes the existential inquisitions and various problematics of individual. Besides, she does not ignore the developments in literature at all, and she forms her works with the understanding of form and perspective changing in years. The author combines the modern story type with the postmodern techniques, and gives the samples of a form which is suitable for the content. In this study, Uyar’s short story “Düşkırıcı” that benefits from the current possibilities of narrative art, will be analyzed with a narratological perspective, and the content of the story will be scrutinized together with the features of its form.
