FOLKLOR VE HALK EDEBİYATI DERGİLERİNDE MİLLÎ GÜN VE DİNÎ DEĞER AKTARIMI: TÜRK FOLKLOR ARAŞTIRMALARI VE KARS ELİ
TRANSMISSION OF NATIONAL DAYS AND RELIGIOUS VALUES IN FOLKLORE AND FOLK LITERATURE JOURNALS: TÜRK FOLKLOR ARAŞTIRMALARI AND KARS ELİ

Summary/Abstract: During the Republican period in Turkey, a significant number of folklore and folk literature journals were published. Among these, Kars Eli, issued within the framework of People’s House publications, and Türk Folklor Araştırmaları (TFA), which occupies a noteworthy place in the literature on folklore and folk literature, stand out. For this reason, the title of this study has been determined as “The Transmission of National Days and Religious Values in Folklore and Folk Literature Journals.” In the years when technological means were limited and television and the internet were not yet widespread, politics, economics, literature, historical events, and cultural policies of the country were followed through journals. Due to the abundance and richness in content of folklore and folk literature journals published during the Republican era, the scope of this study has been narrowed and limited to Türk Folklor Araştırmaları and Kars Eli. The aim of this study is to analyze the place of national days, sentiments, and religious values in TFA and KE within the structure of Turkish society, as well as their function in cultural transmission. In this context, articles on religious and national issues in 365 issues of TFA and 120 issues of Kars Eli, along with relevant academic sources, were cataloged, and the works of authors and poets in the journals were examined using qualitative content analysis. It was determined that TFA primarily addressed national values and sentiments rather than national days, while Kars Eli frequently included works related to national days, emotions, heroes, and religious values. It was also observed that TFA operated on a more national scale, whereas KE pursued a more local publishing activity, and that both journals played a significant role in transmitting cultural codes across generations
