Taner Baybars Poem in the Context of Intercultural Literary Theory/

Abstract

Intercultural literature research is common in the study of literary works in Europe. However, this method has not been applied yet, except for very limited presentation text, in Turkey. In Europe, especially starting from the second half of the 20th century, interest in the relations and interactions between cultures has intensified rapidly in the world of literature. In this work, the elements of intercultural exchange and interaction in the poetry of the Turkish Cypriot poet Taner Baybars are discussed using the materials of intercultural communication theory. As a result of textual content analysis and descriptive studies in Taner Baybars’ poetry, intercultural interactions and changes to be fundamental elements of the poet’s poetica are shown. It has been concluded that Taner Baybars, who had been nourishimg from the rich data of multicultural and multilingual accretion, had succeeded in reaching universal levels from local/national foci.
