Detective novel in Turkish literature in terms of fiction technique

It is understood that the genre of detective literature has not been thoroughly analyzed theoretically and the structural and thematic elements of fiction have not been explained with a certain discipline. The fact that many studies such as theses, articles and essays on detective novel are limited to one author and one period constitutes a deficiency in terms of literature. Despite the great role it plays in literary production in Turkish literature, the fact that the detective novel has not yet been examined at a sufficient level academically is among the main problems of the study. Crime fiction texts are based on an intertwined plot and cover the application area of many philosophical views and thoughts on existence, knowledge, time and space, and in this respect, they make use of many fields such as social, political, economic and legal fields and deal with events, situations and problems related to these fields. In general, it is understood that the genre is an urban literature, and accordingly, many themes such as the city, loneliness, alienation, violence, sexuality, justice, crime, etc. allow for a more prominent and multifaceted examination. Based on the triangle of investigator-victim-criminal, it conveys the best examples where various variations of play, fiction and enigma relations are tried. Especially detective fiction texts, in which metafiction and temporal constructions of memory are at the forefront, allow the development of various methods and techniques by establishing connections between the human mind and fiction. The fact that traditional police types are the archetypes of today's detective characters also constitutes the typology of the changing and transforming police. The aim of the study is to analyze the novels written in Turkish literature from the works written before Tanzimat to the present day and to make a general typology of detective fiction literature and to contribute to the literature in theoretical terms. It is seen that detective fiction has a fictional graph that has not changed in a systematic and regular way from the beginning to the present day. The fact that different authors use different fictionalization methods in a certain period and create a polyphonic environment are among the difficulties of the study. At this point, the study moves from the general ones and creates a general table of change and transformation. Keywords: crime fiction, novel, fiction, memory, metafiction, crime, city
