The Reconstruction of The Tradition and Modernism Impasse In The Novel “Aşk”
Abstract
Modernism
which cuts off ties to the past in a radical way and promises future promises
has commodified man. Modernism's promises of progress and development does not
give exactly the desired results and create frustration from various angles has
directed modern man to new tasks. Postmodernism is an exit point for modern man
who is a sense of continuity truncated.
From this point from the strong arguments of postmodernism, “reconstruction
of tradition” is result of modern man's quest for hold. Elif Şafak’s novel
“Aşk” carries the qualities of a postmodern novel in many respects. However,
there are also some troubles at the point of production of tradition: Tradition
is only found in romance with a production that treats modernity's mind,
practice, and capitalist life is it dealt with by an abusive approach that
shakes the tradition? Especially the use of religious-historical characters in
this respect brought with it various discussions. With this study, it is aimed
to answer these questions by presenting the dilemmas of modernism in the novel
"Aşk".
