Thesis (M.A.)--State University of New York at Stony Brook, 2017.

Ever since its emergence in the nineteenth century, the Turkish novel served as a crucial space for imagining the new Ottoman and, later, national identity. However, more than the possibilities it presented in envisioning new definitions of Turkishness and homogenous communities, the novel also played an important role in the Westernization projects employed by the state in its attempts to insert itself in the grand narrative of European modernity. As such, the re-formulations of Turkishness undertaken by the novel had to be conducted on the unstable nexus of modernity, imposition, agency and local necessities. This thesis aims to look at how various tropes of Turkishness came to be defined through an engagement with discourses of power and Otherness as well as through the cultural memory of the past and dreams of authenticity. Through the themes of "comparison", "conversion" and "hybridity", the three novels under analysis are discussed primarily in terms of the ways in which they imagined alternative definitions of identity and modernity against articulations of Otherness, imposed not only by European discourses of power but also by the Ottoman/Turkish state itself.
