Özet:

The purpose of this research is to reveal and evaluate primary writers and works based on doctoral dissertations that studied contemporary theories and approaches in departments of Turkish Language and Literature, and philology in Turkey. In the early 20th century, developments in naturalism, psychology and in technology , the media's effective power and sovereignty, individuals alienated from themselves and their surroundings, questioning the existence of the humanity revealed a new truth of the world. These changes which are based on tangible value judgments and perceptions, bring a new aesthetic of literature. The "reflective aesthetic", which has been ongoing since Aristotle, gives place to the "formal aesthetic" where art concerns prevail. Narratives called metafiction begins to take place that touches with original imagery and enables reader to reproduce the text by assigning a different meaning. The works of James Joyce, Franz Kafka and Robert Musil, Marcel Proust, etc., contrary to the traditional narrative fiction and form, have a surprising effect. Traditional Turkish literature begins to break with Oğuz Atay, Yusuf Atılgan and Ferit Edgü in the 1970s. New literary aesthetics are processed in different extents by Latife Tekin, Bilge Karasu, Orhan Pamuk, Adalet Agaoglu, Selim İleri, Nazlı Eray, İhsan Oktay Anar and Hasan Ali Toptaş, modern / postmodern narratives form the framework of contemporary literature with reception aesthetics, ontological approach, hermeneutics, phenomenological approach which are different scientific fields, and with the fields of textlinguistics, structuralism, and semiotics, original analysis methods and techniques.
