Literature and Game as a Questioning Metaphor

43354

The rhythmical and arousing effect of game on human perception is, undoubtedly, great. People, in circumstances, try to perceive themselves and their environment through game and game-like parameters as well as through other means. The bio-psychological effects of games increase much more in case what is in question is the reading processes carried out. Since the meaning-focused communicative effectiveness of literary texts needs a different type of reading, the textual layers of meaning matched with game-like paradigms require qualified reader, reading, comprehension, and interpretation skills. Post-modern period makes use of the phenomenon of game to a great extent in order to increase the effectiveness of critical reflections of the message in literary products. Drawing attention to socio-political problems of the age that need questioning through a game-like method of narration can be shown as the biggest reason for this. Post-modern style of narration is the name of a movement in this age. In this study, the game-like reflections of the parameters that left their mark on the world of literature were analyzed on text. As the methods of study, textual analysis, reader-focused perceptual approaches, and association processes were used.
