New Historicism on Amat
Journal Title: Söylem Filoloji Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
New Historicism developed after 1980, focuses on the fictional dimension of history. Unlike the methods of criticism evaluating the texts abstracting from geography and culture which they belong to, new historicist discourse considers social, cultural, political and literary atmosphere that the texts create. Looking at the trio of the author–the period-the work, this theory aims to reveal the fictionalized and interpreted history, and to scrutinize the rewriting processes in historiography. With its structure which presents the culture, geography, period and historical factors as a décor in a fluent and coherent way, Oktay Anar’s work named Amat can be viewed through New Historicism. By focusing on the technical principles, the appearance of the theory on the novel will be analyzed in the context of novel’s plot, characters and result.
