يتناول البحث دراسة ثلاث روايات للكاتب التركي الحائز على جائزة نوبل للأدب لعام 2006 أورهان باموك. والنصوص الثلاثة تنتمي لنصوص ما بعد الحداثة بتصويرها لعدد من العوالم التي تحاكي وتتناقض في نفس الوقت مع عالم الواقع خارج النص. وترى الدراسة أن النص ما بعد الحداثي هو اختيار موفق لتصوير الحياة في تركيا الحديثة التي كانت ولا تزال تقع على الحدود ما بين عالمين: الشرق والغرب، والتي لا تزال، بعد مرور قرابة قرن على سقوط الدولة العثمانية وقيام جمهورية تركيا، عالقة بين انتمائها للعالم الإسلامي وبين تطلعاتها العلمانية التي تسعى للاندماج التام في الهوية الغربية والانضمام للاتحاد الأوربي.
This article discusses three novels by the Turkish novelist who won the Nobel Prize for Literature (2006) Orhan Pamuk. The novels show the characteristic features of postmodernist texts. They project a number of interpenetrating worlds that are simultaneously similar to and different from the objective/extratextual “reality” of Turkey. The three texts also exploit Chinese-box structure, tangled hierarchies, & present/absent authors among other techniques of the postmodernist repertoire to destabilize the ontological status of the texts and engage the reader in an active process of interpretation and re-interpretation. The present study argues that the above-mentioned techniques have been successfully appropriated by Pamuk to represent the intricate history and geography of the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of Turkey, as well as the unresolved identity conflict between a totally secular orientation aiming to forgo all traces of Islamic heritage and wholeheartedly embrace the values of the European Union on the one hand, and an Islamist modernizing orientation that aims for an EU membership that allows each member state to keep its cultural privacy. The contemporary rise in global fundamentalism has further increased the challenges facing an author who attempts, through the use of a basically Western literary genre as the novel in addition to significant infusions from Islamic literary heritage, to represent the actuality of his country.
