Abstract
<p>This paper describes the aspects of Turkish postmodernism of the "second wave", which is justified by an insignificant number of theoretical works and inadequate elaboration of studies concerning the representatives of Turkish postmodernism "second wave". The exception is represented by the works of Russian turkologists M.M. Repenkova and O.V. Kareva, who consider the features of the postmodern paradigm in their studies within the novelistics of the leading representatives of the Turkish postmodernism "second wave". The representatives of the "second wave" (Hasan Ali Toptaş, İhsan Oktay Anar, Perihan Mağden, Kürşat Başar, etc.) were not the object of close research before, and therefore the consideration of their creativity as the next stage in the development of Turkish postmodernism is relevant. The "second wave" of postmodernism is characterized by the appeal to the literature of symbolic modeling in 1990s. During this period, the literature of postmodernism develops into a powerful trend, which becomes the predominant trend of the cultural life of Turkey in 2000s. It is worth noting that, if in the postmodern prose of 1980s was marked by the dominance of "lyrical stream", then in 1990s and 2000s the dominant trend was represented by narrative modification. Hasan Ali Toptaş, known for his mastery of language use, is regarded as one of the main representatives of the second wave of postmodern literature.</p>
Highlights
It should be noted that the priorities of the Turkish readers and critics who were brought up within the previous sharp-social literature are not changing immediately
The materials for the study were the materials of the biography and creative activity of writers, as well as postmodern novels that enable to identify the works by Hasan Ali Toptaş and Parihan Mağden as the representatives of Turkish postmodernism of the "second wave" during the analysis
The "second wave" of Turkish literary postmodernism is a new trend in the literature of Turkey at the turn of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century
Summary
It should be noted that the priorities of the Turkish readers and critics who were brought up within the previous sharp-social literature are not changing immediately. In 1990s the attitude towards postmodernism begins to change gradually. During this period, with a general negative attitude toward this "Western phenomenon, harmful to national literature" critics, for example, already have an awareness that it needs to be studied. The representatives of the "first wave" in postmodernism are replaced by prose writers of the "second wave" who turn to the literature of symbolic modeling during 1990s. The postmodern prose of that period developed into a powerful literary trend, which turned into a mainstream cultural life of the country during 2000s. Etc.) dominated in the Turkish postmodernist prose during 1980s, the narrativistic modification prevails during 1990s - 2000s
