Postmodern crime fiction and Pınar Kür's fiction trilogy

Postmodern discourse in which rules are broken and all differences are welcomed has been seen in all are as. Encapsulating all fields, postmodernism is discussed through the general discourse and its reflection on literature rather than what postmodernism is. Definition of postmodernism is a slippery ground. To make postmodernism meaning ful different opinions have been studied. Through postmodernists like Lyotard, Baudrillard, Jameson, Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, Laclau and Mouffe postmodern discourse has been tried to be meaning ful. The analysis of these postmodernists have created the discussion points of discourse. In a comprehensive and complex discussion area, the differences and oppositions among postmodernists have raised the density of discussion. In a wide perspective, discourse has been evaluated from inside and outside through local and foreign authors. In this paper, the postmodern elements in Pınar Kür's detective story trilogy have been studied. In Bir Cinayet Romanı, the first serial of the trilogy, metafiction and plurality are foregrounded postmodern elements. Through themes of metafiction and plurality, the narrative has become a complex and vague structure. In Sonuncu Sonbahar, through intersemiotics the reader has been in formed about Western movie and music culture. In Cinayet Fakültesi, postmodern time concept has been discussed. The author Kür, has put circular murders in a cyclic time concept and then the narrative has turnedinto a circular form. By adding postmodern elements to crime-detective-solutio formula of the detective story, Pınar Kür presents the reader some other questions rather than 'who is the muderer?'.
