PAMUK’S ISTANBUL APPROACHED VIA WHITE’S NARRATIVE IN HISTORICAL CONTEMPORARY THEORY AND SOJA’S THIRDSPACE

Summary/Abstract: The paper will examine Istanbul both in terms of its economic, social andcultural structures and in terms of a particular type of discourse. That discourse,rooted in the ideology of the city marked by superficiality and a particular type ofmelancholy due to the fact that Istanbul is no longer a centre meant to reunitepeople and to create a stable comunity, will be approached via White's theory ofhistorical narrative, where the story is a mymesis of the story lived in some region ofhistorical reality, offering an explanation to it and via Soja’s Thirdspace.
