Abstract

There are many studies in the literature that investigate the effects of cartoons on children and their functions. Cartoons are also essential visual elements in conveying narratives and cultures from the past to the present. The aim of this study, which examines the role of cartoons in transmitting historical places to the next generations, is to introduce the historical places in the Istanbul Guards cartoon and to create historical awareness in children. This study, which was designed using the content analysis method, was structured as a case study to make an in-depth analysis. While the episodes of Istanbul's Guards, one of the children's favourite cartoons and broadcast on TRT Children's channel, constitute the research sample, the data were obtained and analyzed through document analysis. The research were examined eight episodes of the cartoon "The Guardians of Istanbul". As a result, it has been tried to be revealed with this study that historic places can be transferred to children with cartoons and that cartoons can play an active role in creating historical awareness, especially in children.
