THE BIBLICAL-QURANIC DISCOURSE IN IHSAN OKTAY ANAR'S NOVEL "THE SILENT ONES"
Using the example of Ihsan Oktay Anar's postmodern novel "The Silent Ones" (2007), the article examines the deconstruction of the biblical-Quranic discourse, which the Turkish writer approaches from the standpoint of post-non-classical philosophy. In this work, I. O. Anar discredits the motives, plots, and images of the texts of the Holy Scriptures of three monotheistic religions, which connote the idea of the world as an ordered whole with a single plot and a Higher meaning, using specific means of artistic expression (narrativization, carnivalization, travesty playing, hyperpersonage mask, hybrid-quote names, etc.). the article examines in detail the parody, "opening" of the biblical-Quranic framework, replacing it with a hyper-personal mask - an innovative artistic device that fits seamlessly into the rhizomatic structure of the novel. The prophets of different periods and different scriptures are brought together by the writer at the same time and place, which makes time move not linearly, but in a circle. I. O.

Linking the emergence and development of the metaphysical and later rationalistic tradition to one of the oldest concepts in world history - religious (biblical-Quranic) - he subjects the mythologems of this concept to cultural and philosophical recoding. So, the Divine Word/The logos is transformed not just into the cause and instrument of murder, but into the word of the devil/jinn/ "serpent of the tempter". Keywords: Turkish narrative postmodernism, textualization of the world, discourse, hyperpersonage mask, deconstruction. Postmodernism as an original literary trend that has developed its own ways of artistic synthesis of the latest poetological practices with the ideas of post-non-classical philosophy, emerged and developed in Turkish literature in the late 1980s and 1990s and was further developed in the first decade of this year. "World as chaos", "world as text", "intertextual ... Read more
