2017, IV. ULUSLARARASI TÜRK DÜNYASI ARAŞTIRMALARI SEMPOZYUMU

In this study; animism, animalism and animatism, were explained by means of the works of Latife Tekin and Cengiz Aytmatov. Central Anatolia, especially the most important representatives of Kyrgyz, Cengiz Aytmatov's novel “Beyaz Gemi”, “Gün Olur Asra Bedel”, “Cengiz Han’a Küsen Bulut”, “Deniz Kıyısında Koşan Ala Köpek” titled in his works animism elements will be identified. As Tylor points out, animism, which is regarded as the oldest religious form, is one of the old common belief systems of the Turks. It is possible to trace the traces of this thought in some ethnic groups of the Turkish world with animistic and shamanistic rituals. We also see the rites of the rituals in Aytmatov's works. It is also possible to exemplify the products of the animistic thinker in Turkish literature through the works of Latife Tekin. In order to determine the scope of the work, we used the works of the author ‘Sevgili Arsız Ölüm’, ‘Ormanda Ölüm Yokmuş Gibi’ and 'Muinar' as the main source. From these basic sources, it has been tried to find out how the animistic elements in two different Turkish geographies correspond to themselves in the same literary genre, what corresponds to the writer's cognitive, and which cultural motifs the animistic transformations put forward.
