30308

This study aims to examine the reasons of tradition’s gaining repetition in the world of literature during the period of transition from modernism to postmodernism and this change, on the other hand, is tried to be associated to the philosophical and sociological basis of postmodernism. Concordantly, the differences are put forward by comparing the sense of tradition in modern and postmodern period and an answer is sought whether this change should be evaluated as reconstruction or invention of tradition as a commercial meta. In the end of the study, through the examples selected from Turkish novels, the way of tradition’s reflection to a literary text and the limitations of author’s realm of freedom are questioned.
