A Young Professor With Big Ideas
A Young Professor With Big Ideas

Summary/Abstract: The folklore is called “Halk Bilimi” in Turkey, “the science of people”... And Sedat Örnek, who is a professor of this science at the University of Ankara, has explored this sphere with passion. He is making researches, undertaken by him for the first time in Turkey. He has analyzed the inhabitants of this country, through what he meets: The three big events of Life: birth, marriage and death. In the East, in the West, in the North and in the South of a country stretched out like Turkey, these traditions don’t change, nor the behaviour of the society towards them. From these traditions springs a more solid psychology than from even the human skeletons, stretched out or crouched, which are discovered during the archeological excavations and which also make it possible to reach to the bottom of the inhabitant of this country.
