The resarch of Murat Gülsoy's stories in terms of postmodernism

The story is a shorter text than a novel in terms of body. Before giving examples of modern stories, there were folk stories in Turkish literature similar to story type and text types such as mesnevi. While the first Turkish stories were being written in the modern sense, the effects of these products can be clearly recognized. The story type has undergone a number of changes since the first examples were given and this change affects the structure elements of the story. In the classical period, while there were the elements of the structure, such as person, time, and place transferred in the rational, cause-effect relationship in the stories, this realistic approach started to be abandoned with the effect of modernism. With the postmodern approach, which started to be effective later, there occurred significant breakups in the elements of the story.In the modern texts, the precious subject was abandoned; other elements, such as time and space, were torn from their objective reality and became indeterminate, unmeasurable, and undetectable.Ready fictionspresented to the reader gave place to the narratives where the protagonists were absent, the time was fluidized and became fantastic, the ordinary places that were not described in detail were used as space, the reader was drawn to the text and the works of other artists were reworked. The aim of the study is to determine what kind of reflections of postmodernism exist in Murat Gülsoy's stories. Murat Gülsoy, one of the writers on whichwe can see postmodern reflections in story type in Turkish literature, carries the works and styles of other writers to his narratives; he presents different fiction techniques that invite the reader to the game and surprise him in his works. In this study, the life, art and works of Murat Gülsoy were discussed after the theoretical knowledge about postmodernism was given. Afterwards, in Gülsoy's texts, in which we can see the traces of postmodernism in many stories, a comparative review was carried out by considering the elements of the structure. In the course of the study, plenty of sample texts from the stories were included in order to make the basic understanding of the structural elements more visible. Thus, the role of Murat Gülsoy in Turkish story-writing and the postmodern patterns in his stories were tried to be determined.
