Abstract

Edebi eleştiri kuramı, son zamanlarda yaşanan bilişsel devrimle birlikte edebiyatın doğasıyla bağlantılı soruları ele alma biçiminde bir paradigma değişikliğine uğramıştır. Edebiyat çözümlemesindeki bu paradigma değişikliğinin bir sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan bilişsel poetika; psikoloji, dilbilim ve biçembilim gibi disiplinlerden elde edilen verileri eleştiri kuramıyla birleştirerek edebi dilin üretimi ve algılanmasıyla ilgili süreçleri açıklamayı amaçlar. Bu makalede Kurt Vonnegut'un Slaughterhouse Five adlı eseri, bilişsel poetikanın üç analiz yöntemi olan metin dünyaları kuramı, şekil-zemin kuramı ve şema kuramı ile incelenmiştir. Giriş bölümünden sonra bilişsel poetikanın temel ilkeleri hakkında bilgi verilmiş ve söz konusu üç bilişsel poetika analiz yöntemi kısaca açıklanmıştır. Makalenin çözümleme bölümünde Slaughterhouse Five bu üç bilişsel poetika yöntemiyle çözümlenmiş ve bu romanın metin dünyası oluşturma ve katmanlandırma açısından klasik romandan önemli farklılıklar gösterdiği gözlemlenmiştir. Bu farklılıklarla birlikte, Dresden kentinin bombalanmasını yeni bir üslupla sunmak için Slaughterhouse Five'da figür ve zeminlerin manipüle edildiği ve edebi şemaların yeniden yapılandırıldığı görülmüştür.

DEVIATION IN NARRATIVE STRATEGIES IN KURT VONNEGUT’S SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE: A COGNITIVE POETIC ANALYSIS

Abstract

The discipline of literary theory and criticism has undergone a paradigm shift in the way it has attempted to address the concerns linked to the nature of literature in tandem with cognitive revolution. Cognitive poetics, which has emerged as a result of this paradigm change in literary criticism, aims to comprehend the procedures involved in the production and reception of literary language by bringing insights from disciplines like psychology, linguistics, and stylistics. In this article Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five has been analysed with text world theory, figure-ground theory, and schemata theory which are three analysis methods in cognitive poetics. After the introduction, some information about the main tenets of cognitive poetics has been provided and the aforementioned three cognitive poetic methods have been briefly explained. In the analysis part, Slaughterhouse Five has been analyzed with these three methods. It has been observed that the novel shows significant variance in terms of world creation and layering from the classical novel. Along with this variation, it has been seen that the figures and grounds have been manipulated and literary schemata have been restructured in Slaughterhouse Five to present the bombardment of Dresden in a novel way.
