Abstract:

As the articles in Cemal Süreya (1931-1990)’s book called Folklor Şiire Düşman (1992) go beyond the limit of plain texts with a stylistic form of writing, and also these are original texts due to poetry content. Two different types, plain text and poem, which meet in an article with Cemal Süreya’s poetic attitude, turn into ‘fantasy’ writings by losing the characteristics of their types. In this article, the originality of texts called ‘fantasy writings’ has attracted attention and the format and content properties has been analyzed. Writings were firstly published in periodicals, but then they were collected in the book named Folklor Şiire Düşman. The writings called as “On Üç,On Beş Yaşında” are short texts in portrait nature which are about ten different artists that rose out of the ruck in Turkish Literature. But aim is not to tell about known or appeared characteristics of people in Cemal Süreya’s fantasy articles, on the contrary; in the texts of which imaginative intensity is important. The artists’ lives and thoughts about their artistic lives, precision shares in these writings are mainly present in these writings, so these are different from portrait articles by this aspect. Mainly the original side of Cemal Süreya’s fantasy writings is in aspect of style. In each of these articles, prose and poem were used together and a new form was created. In Cemal Süreya’s writings, sentences look like strings and parts of prose are complementary for each other and the articles are pretty different from types of plain texts known, with this style. In other words, Cemal Süreya created a new kind of text using the formal and stylistic properties of both plain text and poem.
