@article{2015,title={Duçent-name, As An Example Of Pastich},abstractNode={Being a sub-genre of parody, pastiche, differs from the other types of parody in that it imitates a certain literary genre or movement rather than a specific work. In this article, Dûçent-nâme, an example of pastiche by Orhan Şaik Gökyay is studied in terms of its relations to its humorous precedents in Turkish Literature. Molla Lûtfî, a professor of Sahn-ı Seman in Fatih period, depicts the position of the scholars of his age with special reference to the rivalry among them, in his humorous fiction story titled “Harnâme”. Lûtfî tells the story around an “ass” metaphor in plain folk Turkish. Orhan Saik Gökyay, 500 years later, refers to this very same topic in his humorous work “Dûçent-nâme”. The common aspect between these two works is that neither used the favourite genres or styles of their age; instead, they were both written in an unusual literary style. Orhan Şaik Gökyay, who habitually blended The Old Anatolian Turkish and a pompous language style in his writing, engaged some fictitious vocabulary in his work to gether with some mythological concepts in order to embody his ideas. In a sense, the author gave a good example of a pastiche, in a playful mood, making a good use of the references to the work of Molla Lûtfî and that of Şeyhî, two prominent works of Classical Turkish Literature. Orhan Şaik Gökyay draws attention to the unity of the literary traition, laying emphasis on how the genres interactand feed each other.},author={Nebahat YUSOĞLU},year={2015},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
