Examining their theoretical and fictive works, we will explore and describe how the writers define literariness and construct their works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This course aims at describing the writers\u2019 point of view drawing on their own words on literature, art and aesthetics. We will have two main sources in our study: the selected artistic works of the writers and their books and interviews on poetics. Some of the writers such as Ferit Edg\u00fc and Orhan Pamuk have explicitly expressed their ideas on poetics, art and aesthetics while others have not. For example, Ya\u015far Kemal has never said a word about how he used the epic discourse to build his own way of writing. However, reading between the lines, we can detect the epic discourse and its literary applications in his works. We should also note that he used to call himself \u2018Homeros o\u011flu Ya\u015far\u2019 (The son of Homeros). Studying on the writers\u2019 understanding of poetics, we will have a chance to discover the ways of interpreting and writing a literary text.      <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-79414423 gb-tabs__item\" id=\"gb-tab-item-79414423\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-28db6432 gb-headline-text\">Course Outline<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-text\">You can see and download the course syllabus below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-element-3120ace5\">\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdas-turkiye-edebiyati-syllabus-S19.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:813px\" aria-label=\"Einbettung von cagdas-turkiye-edebiyati-syllabus-S19.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-57ff2b18-576f-4a9c-9c57-9bbd4ab9b969\" href=\"https:\/\/offuniversity.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/cagdas-turkiye-edebiyati-syllabus-S19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cagdas-turkiye-edebiyati-syllabus-S19<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-bc3fa32e\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-bc3fa32e\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-233f353f\">\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-e4125b44 gb-headline-text\">Course Details<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-b921c8c1\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-wrapper gb-grid-wrapper-70b4f9b1\">\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-203abde0\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-203abde0\">\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Duration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-7f61003f\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-7f61003f\">\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">25.04.19 &#8211;
