Abstract
In this study, it is aimed to examine the novels of İhsan Oktay Anar, a contemporary Turkish author, who was separated from classic sight with an alternative approach to history from the point of the basic dynamics of the new historicism movement and opportunities provided by this new perspective. In this context, how Anar discussed the concepts of ?truth?, ?accuracy?, ?precision? etc., how linguistic organization in texts converted historical reality, at which point the texts differ from official history in terms of aesthetic and creative qualities, what kind of relationship exists between the base historical period and the historical context in which the novel was written, how structures of power, ideological attitudes, forms of behavior and hierarchies were made visible in texts etc. are brought into question in the scope of this study. Anar?s novels are full of materials too rich to be addressed in isolation from history, a particular cultural environment, traditions of the era, social, political, ideological value judgments.In the first part of the study, under the title the ?New Historicism Theory?, the boundaries of theoretical framework guiding the study are drawn. In this content, in the period up to the emergence of the new historicism theory, the limits between ?literature? and ?historiography? since antiquity are pointed out, the main factors and the people inspiring the formation of the new historicism are mentioned. Later the critical approaches of the new historicist theorists and the basic dynamics guiding this theory are presented. Finally within the theoretical framework postmodern novel interested in history, criticism of the new historicism, appearance of the theory in Turkish literature and the studies on this subject are mentioned. In the second part of the study, moving from İhsan Oktay Anar?s five novels, how the new historicist reading practice has become functional with different interpretations of these novels is discussed.In this study, the topics discussed and new historicist reading practice are expected to constitute an example of alternative application to the studies on İhsan Oktay Anar?s novels and contribute to additional studies on the Turkish novel.
