Abstract:

Tarık Dursun K., an important name of Turkish literature, has since the 1950s brought an important breath to Turkish history. The writer who tries different narrative forms in his stories by adapting to the new aesthetic transformation of modernism, especially the second person not frequently found in Turkish literature, takes attention by placing the narrative type in the story universe. In this study, the aim of the question of why the second person narrative is preferred by the author and how the organization is included in the narrative structure, with the most impressive examples selected from the writer's stories, is to extract a general template of the second person narrative structure. So both the second person recognizes the type of narrative as conceptual and the time stops. It is possible to understand the language of "you" in your stories.

Abstract:

Tarık Dursun K., one of the most significant names of Turkish literature, breathed new life into Turkish story writing as of 1950s. The author, who tries different narration styles in his stories by keeping up with the new aesthetical transformation of modernism, stands out with the way he places second person point of view ‒rare in Turkish literature‒ in the world of story. In this study, it is aimed to draw a general schema of the second person point of view with the most stunning examples taken from the author’s stories, and by means of the questions related to why this point of view is chosen by the author and what kind of structure is used to include it. Thus, an opportunity is created both to introduce the second person point of view as a concept and to interpret the “you (singular/plural)” language in Tarık Dursun K.’s stories.
