HALK MASALLARININ MODERN TOPLUMA AKTARILMASI VE MASAL AKTARIMLARINDA TESPİT EDILEN FORMÜLLER

Abstract

We believe that any text in a culture is formed in the interaction between texts, and in Bartlett's words, “copywriters draw on and variously refer to other texts of their own or another culture, both old and new.” It is wrong to understand traditionalism as the transfer of tradition from generation to generation without changing over the centuries. Tradition changes to a certain extent and there is no tradition that does not change over time. No matter which society the tradition lives in, it will always carry the principles and cultural elements from the social circles in which it lives. People who tell tales, sing folk songs and dance halay are people who have the urge to create. Either of their own volition, with a false memory, or to please the audience, they change the tradition to some extent. Thus, in each new narrative, a change is experienced with a temporality descending from the narrator's personal impulse to create and the conditions of the social environment, from the traditional one. Similarly, we think that the actions of any individual/subject emerge through intersubjective interaction with other individuals. Accepting folktale narrating act as a communicative process we can say that this dynamic process is intersubjective as well. This event is continually constituted and reconstituted not only through the complex interactions of the performer-audience but also the contact of subjects and the interchange of their knowledge. To understand multiple factors which effect folktale narrating process/performance we did an experiment and wanted specially to look at subjects/individuals and their functions in folktale narration in modern society. Herewith we will present the results of our experiment. We believe that this study, which we support under various titles and examples, will make a technical contribution to researchers who will make compilations in the field.
