Abstract

Postmodernism is an active and pervasive trend that has permeated all aspects of public life soon after its emergence, particularly since the 1980s, and is evident in diverse ways across different cultural spheres. In the ever-evolving landscape of world literature, postmodernism emerged as a literary movement challenging the concept and ideology of modernism, questioning the established norms, narrative structures, classical notions of identity and objectivity, ideas of universal progress and emancipation, and grand narratives. The origin and development of postmodernism in Turkish and Georgian literature are intertwined with the historical, cultural, and political context of these countries, as well as with global processes that occurred worldwide. Georgian and Turkish postmodernist novels are characterized by key principles of postmodernist culture, such as metafiction, intertextuality, double coding, fragmentation, and a pursuit of narrative experiments, while also placing a strong emphasis on cultural identity. The uniqueness and distinction of these novels are shaped by the cultural and linguistic environments in which they originated.
