Innovation, Difference, Irregularity: LIT FICTION’13 Literary Fiction Conference proceedings, November 21-22, 2013, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University

Abstract

Throughout the history, the li terature re-composed itself not only through texts but also through the interaction of these texts. Literature owns very much on the concepl of irregularity -representing differences rather than generally accepted norms and creating innovation rather than repeated what is already presented. The composition and structure of the text, inspirations, perspectives, use of language as well as the definition oflanguage can be defined specifically and authentically for each text. Each invention contained in a text constitutes the basis for its singularity. Ali kinds of innovation, on the other hand, constitute the real border between the texts. The literature in modern world, requires any piece to stand aside from its likes. Production of difference by the text, struggles to legitimate each and every possibility of difference at psychological and social levels. A textual perspective that studies the world from this point will receive any irregularity with open arms and will definitively point out what's beyond the oppressive systems, hierarchical structures and such moral norms that are deemed beyond questioning. LITFICTION'r 3 Literary Fiction Conference aims to re-evaluate the history ofliterary texts from the view point of innovation, difference and irregularity. The conference further aims to contribute to the efforts to assess the texts and re-consider the literary structure at any random poin tin the history through this conceptual framework. The Conference will be open for textual analyses from different countries and periods. UT FICTION '13, hosted by MSFAU (Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University), will be organized from 21st to 22nd of November, by DAKAM (Eastern Mediterranean Academic Research Center). / Efe Duyan
