@article{2018,title={What are paratexts? What are peritexts?},abstractNode={The aim of the present study is to give theoretical information about ‘Paratexte’, to illuminate subheadings about it partially and to give examples from Turkish literature as much as possible. Genette defines ‘Paratexte’ as all side elements which exist about a published book and do not exist in the original text; yet, belong to the text and complete it and he classifies Paratexte into two main categories. The first one is ‘Written Elements around the Text’ (Peritexte) and the second is ‘Elements around the Book’ (Epitexte). ‘Written Elements around the Text’ (Peritexte) involves all the written elements on, inside, on the right, on the left of the book. In short, all the writings on or inside the book which are not included in the original text but complete it. Genette divides written elements around text (Peritexte) into two categories. These are ‘publishing peritext’ and ‘authorial peritext’. Whereas ‘publishing peritext’ includes style, index, book cover, inner cover, font and font size, ‘authorial peritext’ involves book title, name of the author, preface, contents, subtitles, bywords and promotional writings on the book. ‘Elements around the Book’ are elements like writings, adverts, conversations, speeches which are neither on the book or inside it but are published in other places related to the book. Genette divides epitexte into two categories as well and the first one is ‘public epitexte’ and the other one is ‘private epitexte’. Within ‘public Epitexte’; “publishing peritext”, “semi-official allographic epitexts” and “public authorial epitexts” exist; whereas; within ‘private epitexte’; “correspondence”, “diaries”, “private conversations” exist.},author={Munise AKSÖZ},year={2018},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
