From Folk Tale to Poem and Short Story: An Attempt of Remeaning Cahit Sıtkı’s Abbas Short Story with the Transtextual Relations Theory

Summary/Abstract: Known as a strong poet, Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı (1910- 1956) also wrote short stories which were parallel with his poems. In this study, Cahit Sıtkı Tarancı’s short story Abbas has been analysed in accordance with “The Transtextual Relations Theory” put forward by Gérard Genette in order to reveal intertextual relations in literary texts. In his theory, Genette has regarded intertextuality as one of the five transtextuality relations including hypertextuality, paratextuality, architextuality and metatextuality. In the study, Tarancı’s Abbas short story is regarded as the hypertext; his Abbas poem and a folk tale -which was listened by Tarancı from his grandmother when he was a child- as the hypotext. The work has been analysed in terms of not only the hypertextuality relation but also other transtextual relations. In paratextuality, other texts that the author interrelates by means of the title he’s chosen for his work have been determined; in architextuality the literary form of the work has been stated and in metatextuality the evaluations of the author that he made about Abbas short story and its hypotexts in other texts, have been stressed. Establishing transtextual relations between folk tales and his own works of art, Tarancı provided endlessness to his creatures and share his heartbreak of love with all the people. The result of the study is that the artists who want to be a bridge between successors and predecessors of them, establish intertextual relations for creating endless work of arts.
