Özet:

Altı Ay Bir Güz (1996) can be accepted as one of the works reflecting the characteristic of a postmodern narrative in terms of “time”. The aim of the article is to reach generalizations about this language of the novel. Using the terminology of Gérard Genette (1930-2018), the text was examined according to the "order", "duration" categories and the inductive criticism model. In order to reveal this structure of the narrative, the interaction between story time and narrative time has been taken into account. Studies on Bilge Karasu (1930-1995) consist mostly of thematic studies such as dream-fiction relationship, his storytelling understanding, and metafictional elements. In addition, Gülşah Şişman examined Karasu’s texts in terms of story-storytelling relationships and dream-memory-dream and event units in his doctoral thesis titled “Bilge Karasu-Human and Work” and in his article titled “Relocation Between Fact and Fiction: Time in the Novels of Bilge Karasu”. This study, on the other hand, aims to reveal a number of fixed relations by considering the story-narration relations of the text. Chronology of the text in the “order” step of the study; In the “time” step, the area covered by the story time at the page level was taken into consideration and its unique qualities were revealed at the time point of the text. Therefore, the narrative was analyzed not by thematic aspects, but by taking into account its unique characteristics. For this, firstly, the total time of the narration or the story time of the signifier was determined, and then, it was examined how this positioned in the narrative time which is accepted as the signified of the text. Thus, inclusive data were obtained in the direction and width of time. It can be said that the temporal movement of the text causes a confusion due to serial and sudden transitions, domination of the character's memory, imaginative / poetic language, and creates confusion in the reader. Despite this anachronistic and more reversible, intermittent rhetoric, the story time is not completely excluded, the flow continues from where it left off. The story time, which begins on the 13th of July and in the morning, ends in the afternoon of the 13th of August. This time is accompanied by a large number of reversible (analepsis) deviations and the chronology is suspended. Monologue-dialogue superiority stands out in the spread of story time. The protagonist's mind hosts all temporal movements, acting as a background. The mindfulness of the mind, its arbitrariness reveals what is also characteristic in the spread of story time. The abstract, depiction, scene, or monologue is positioned in the text as part of consciousness, but has rendered a fixed / unchangeable functioning, despite this haunting narrative atmosphere.
