THE REVIVAL OF THE TRADITIONAL YUSUF AND ZULEYHA BY NAZAN BEKiROGLU
Abstract
While traditions are a formative and constructive source preventing individuals from being decomposed, disintegrated, devalued and meaningless, modernism is the sum of all improvements, developments and enlightenments made on the basis of traditions. Produced in the periods of traditionalism and modernism, Yusuf and Züleyha by Nazan Bekiroğlu is a process of recreation and rewriting based upon the Yusuf Sura in the Kuran-i Kerim as the primary text and Yusuf u Zuleyha by Hamdullah Hamdi as a reference text. Settings of cultural memory in Yusuf and Zuleyha by Bekiroglu,in which time and space limitations of the olden times were extended, have the qualities of a textual archetype. The novelist depicts the traditonal life style, which is open to new recreations , by modernizing it and all of its traditional values in the form of a structural fiction. In the novel, which centerson the sense of love experienced by the individual person during his life time, Bekirog- lu uses such textual techniques as augmentation,story-telling in a story, pastiche, allusion and formal transformation. This literary text is also a post-modern text in terms of its contents and formal borrowings from the past.
