Abstract (EN)
This thesis aims at studying Elif Batuman's The Idiot and Either/Or from a transcultural perspective. This study examines Elif Batuman's novels from an interdisciplinary perspective combining Wolfgang Welsch's philosophical approach to transculturalism, transcultural literary studies as well as Bakhtinian concepts such as polyphony and intertextuality. Benefitting from this framework, this thesis highlights the themes of the representation of national identity, mobility, cultural and linguistic diversity in Batuman's fiction. The study also emphasizes how the protagonist transcends the stable categories related to identity and fiction writing within the framework of transculturalism.
