| Title | FROM SIMILITUDE TO THE BEYOND ALTERNATIVE FEMALE SUBJECTIVITY IN 'DEAR SHAMELESS DEATH' VIA MAGICAL REALISM |
| Summary | This thesis attempts to explore a close reading of magical realist novel Dear Shameless Death by Latife Tekin. The thesis aims to reveal the distinct literary discourse of the novel so as to launch on a feminist re-reading. My thesis is organized basically in three chapters. In the first chapter of theoretical framework, I initially focus on M.Foucault’s (Renaissance) similitude episteme so as to elicit the distinct metafictive characteristic of Dear Shameless Death. Next, I explore magical realism which is a significant strategy of metafiction. These two perspectives, combined together, encourage a distinct metafiction of Foucauldian similitude Last of all, my thesis tries to connect all this distinction to feminine ecriture— with a strong reference to French feminist critic and writer Helené Cixous. Thus by analyzing Latife Tekin’s novel my thesis engenders a distinct literary discourse of Dear Shameless Death as possible feminine magical realist writing. |
