Abstract

The concept of fiction lies at the center of the thought and practice of literary theory. Literature is an activity that challenges the conditions and factual reality of the human and emerges with the creation of a new reality. A literary work has, above all, a different power to create the "impossible". This power refers to an infinite possibility that is constructed through language. Being an infinite field of possibilities refers to a new reality as an act of becoming and creation rather than representing the factual reality in daily life. Because the logic of the relationship between reality and consciousness with fictional creation has changed radically. Fiction expanded the perception of reality accepted by the norms of daily life and perception and opened the door to different realms of reality. Thus, the boundaries between fields such as matter-memory, consciousness-unconsciousness, reality-non-reality, objectivity and subjectivity, which are categorically separated from each other, have gradually be come transparent.
