@article{2012,title={Narrator, Time and Space Structure of Postmodern Novel},abstractNode={Postmodern novel, frequently used intertextuality and the metafictional techniques and in contrast to modern novels, focusing on discourse not the subject and benefiting from the history by giving historical facts with fiction interleaved, manages to attract attention with unusual fiction. In postmodern novel, the narrator, time and space structures shows interesting differences according to the modern novel and reflective novel. While the narrator of the postmodern novel confuses reader with multiple narrator technique, he leaves the reader alone within the unfamiliar realm with the change of the structure of “hyper space” and the structure of different time zones given a combination. In postmodern novels the narrator takes a very active role. As he may be an important member of figurative staff, it is possible that he may intervene to the software phase of fiction. He often declares his ideas and he almost leads the novel. The narrator of the postmodern novel leads the reader follow him with this aspect, make the reader curious and sometimes smile the reader. In postmodern novels it is observed that the use of linear chronological time is often tried to be broken. Time is trivialized in postmodern novels in which the present and transferring at the time come to fore compared to modern and classical styles of novel. Units of time that is objective time- day, month, year are either complicated or used by lowering the top or given obscurely. However, in postmodern novels, the syntax of the text may be made in parallel with the history of fiction time. In more concrete terms, the process of writing the text can be the main subject of the novel that somebody reads. Hence the concept of the present bring to the fore. In novel, time of the novel case, narrator time and reading time combines the present. In postmodern novels space is obscured possibly. In a postmodern novel it is impossible to identify depiction of space in details. Usually general features belonging to space are given to reader and it is -expected from the reader to create rest of it in the mind. The space so-called “hyper space” by postmodernists is variable in postmodern novels; it can not demonstrate a clear stance.},author={Gamze SOMUNCUOĞLU ÖZOT},year={2012},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
