H. N. ATSIZ'IN OTANTİK TOPLUM ÜTOPYASI: BOZKURTLARIN ÖLÜMÜ
H. N. ATSIZ’S AUTHENTIC SOCIAL UTOPIA: BOZKURTLARIN ÖLÜMÜ

Summary/Abstract: Hüseyin Nihal Atsız tried to convey his political idea, which have been among the important topics of discussion, through literary works. In this study, the utopian character of Atsız is emphasized, based on the novel Bozkurtların Ölümü, and it is argued that in this work he establishes an authentic social utopia as an anti-modernist nationalist. This utopian society, emerged as the opposite of the human types it satirized in the Dalkavuklar Gecesi, which is a critique of the current political environment. People in the utopian society are stand out with their high moral characteristics and are at peace with nature and animals, hunt and fight just to survive. In this context, the answer to the question of why the Turks are shown as absolute right and the Chinese as absolute unjust was sought, in a way that violates the neutrality of the novel, despite Atsız's objectively portraying the differences of opinion among the Turks, and as a result, the Chinese represent the modern. It has been concluded that Turks correspond to what is authentic, good and correct. This point shows that Atsız's Turkism, differing from other nationalist ideas, rose on the basis of opposition to the modern one.
