Dersin Amacı

This course explores theories and practices of postmodern fiction and develop an account of where fiction stands in the early 21st century. The first part of the course focuses on the formal, thematic, and philosophical signatures of “high” postmodernism of the 1960s and 1970s. In addition to tracing the critical and creative development of postmodernism, we’ll question the category’s relevance. The rest of the course brings us into the 2000s. How has contemporary US fiction carried postmodernism’s legacy forward? How has it left it behind in favor of other innovations in storytelling? Is the term essential for post-1960 US literary study or can it be cast aside entirely?To give our inquiry focus, we’ll look to our texts for accounts of how we come to know ourselves and our worlds. What instruments—including narrative—produce and undermine knowledge? Whose knowledge “counts”? What status do these novels accord to the following ways of producing knowledge: rationality and empiricism, the expert, feeling, embodied experience, place sense, religious belief and spirituality, memory, and media and technology.
