Abstract
H. Kovan Baqî is a Kurdish writer who holds a unique place in Kurdish literature with his style of writing. His works, published as novels, depart dramatically from the conventions of the classical realist novel. These novels lack distinct narrative elements such as event, plot, character, space and time. Since these novels blur the boundaries of genre, the poststructuralist term “text” is more appropriate for them. This study analyzes the author's novels Aporîa (2015), Dîfférance (2016) and Kî (2019), but its conclusions are valid for the author’s literature in general. The aim of this study is to understand and explain the poetics of these texts. The study shows that these texts are based on a deconstructive understanding. In this understanding, the ability of language to explain and represent reality and the world has become questionable. As a literary consequence, literature's ability to represent has become questionable. Therefore, these texts invert and deconstruct the narrative elements of the realist mimetic novel with a deconstructive approach. In addition, the role and position of the godlike author of the realist novel is also deconstructed in these texts. In this framework, the author moves away from the role of totalizing authorship and does not turn chaos into logos, which the dominant understanding in this approach is the understanding of “death of the author”. These texts also deconstruct the classical passive readership created by the realist novel and demand a different readership. Because these texts, unlike the realist novel, are not texts to be read in a certain order and in a passive manner from beginning to end.
