"The Writer and the Nation-State" is a novel attempt to understand the structural (trans)formation of Turkish writing from empire to nation since the late nineteenth century, which investigates (a) the interrelation of language and literature; (b) the development of the concepts of the literary and literariness; and (c) the dialectical relationship between the writer and the heteropatriarchal nation-state. Focusing equally on literary, historical, social, and political processes in Turkey's period of modernity and modernization, this study analyzes writer, language, text, aesthetics, and ideology to show how such transformations have been manifested in poetry as well as literary and critical prose in Ottoman, Turkish, and English. The relationship between the writer and the state, especially since the foundation of the Republic in 1923, remains largely unexplored in Turkish literary studies. This study fills the gap by arguing that it is a dialectical relationship in which the mutual constitution of writer and state engenders the text, whether in collaboration and reciprocity or in contest and conflict. The study also shows that separation of form and theme in modern Turkish literature emerges from the chronotope of nationalism mobilized by the state-writer, who is driven by the urge to situate form (and hence modernity) outside itself, and therefore seeks to appropriate the referential content of discourse to "the original Turkish soul." This self-orientalizing mode of Turkish literature is intensified by the writer-state during the period of Republican nationalization, and yet fails to fully assimilate the non-literary implications of edeb, which challenges the demarcation of form and content by empowering content to shape form, and hence expands the chronotope of ethno-centrist literary-nationalism to that of ethically guided literary-pluralism.
