ELENE HEGEMANN’IN AXOLOTL ADLI ROMANINDA DİJİTAL ANLATI PRATİKLERİ
DIGITAL NARRATIVE PRACTICES IN HELENE HEGEMANN’S NOVEL AXOLOTL

Summary/Abstract: This study examines Helene Hegemann’s novel Axolotl within the framework of the aesthetic and discursive dynamics of digital culture. Its central argument is that the novel does not merely reflect the perceptual rhythm of the digital age on a thematic level, but also constructs it formally through narrative strategies such as fragmentation, repetition, montage, hybrid language, and intermediality. In particular, Hegemann’s unattributed borrowings from Airen’s Strobo call for a reconsideration of the concepts of originality, authorship, and creativity in digital culture. From this perspective, Axolotl is interpreted not as the product of an individual authorial authority, but as a text constituted at the intersection of circulating multiple voices and practices of rewriting. Drawing on text-oriented analysis, theoretical interpretation, and an interdisciplinary approach, the study demonstrates that the novel combines postmodern intertextuality with the remix aesthetics of the digital age.
