    ABOUT ALEWISM IN KEMAL TAHIR'S NOVELS
    (Gazi Univ, Turk Kulturu Ve Haci Bektas Veli, 2012) Karakas, Rezan
    This study aims to analyze traces of traditions, customs and beliefs which are largely peculiar to Alewis in Kemal Tahir's novels. To this end, all of Kemal Tahir's novels were examined in an effort to uncover elements that reflect cultural features of Alewi tradition and then these elements' greater contributions to the novels were discussed. In these works, especially, Haci Bektash Veil's anecdote, Saint Ali and Kesikbas' story, Dedelik authority, Asik Virani, there exist some ingredients of Alewi culture that are used for drawing the portrait of cultural world of novels' characters, thereby providing important clues to the emergence of the identity of the heroes within society and examining the relationship between the hero and his setting with the reader. Kemal Tahir has presented Sunni and Alewi characters in the same framework. So it could be argued the author creates a melting pot people with different cultures, thus bringing wealth to his works in terms of content. He takes the reader to make a journey from local to national and from folkculture to art. All these should be regarded as evidence of the art of novel, the material of which is human and can't stay away from the human-specific one; namely culture.

    Sacred Trees And Tombs In Siirt Folk Culture
    (Milli Folklor Dergisi, 2014) Karakas, Rezan
    This article aims to present prominent status of 'sacred trees' in rituals performed at tombs in Siirt folk culture. These trees become a mythical symbol and part of the essential component of Muslim Saints' culture. We can also see that these trees and their leaves have been used in rituals related to folk medicine. Sacred trees and their surrounding areas have become only hope for women who cannot get pregnant. Leaves of sacred trees near the tombs of Sheikh Hazin and Seyid Sheikh Muhammed El Tomani were used to give hope for infertile women. There has been a belief among local people that if an infertile woman throws three branches and can succeed in getting at least one branch stay hanged on a tree, she could get pregnant. Sheikh Arab tomb features the mystic story of the fruitless mulberry tree while Sheikh Tayyar tomb features the dismembered head figure and sacred trees in the same place. Mir Yusuf' and Sheikh Girdi tombs feature the ritual of sleeping under the tree. People hang limbs in front of their houses and workplaces from trees at the tomb of Bapira Sufi in the hope that these limbs would protect them from snakes, scorpions, insects, etc. People who want to purify themselves set up swing sets between trees near the Sheikh Veli tomb. All these manifestations of rituals through sacred trees to reach Saint first and ultimately through Saint to Allah are common practices of Shirt's folk culture.

    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Karakas, Rezan
    Cartoons are a kind of art that show all types of event or condition related to social relationships with a humorous style of thinking. They are similar to the jokes in the sense that they carry an element of wit and they tell a lot with less material. From this aspect they are similar to proverbs and idioms. We can think the cartoons as the forms of jokes turned into images. In preschool period, cartoons can be used as a tool for development of the children's mother tongue. At home, nursery or kindergarten, by providing cartoons fit for the child's physical and mental development, they may be asked to talk about these cartoons. Various question related cartoons could be asked to student. So that, the first steps have been taken for the road going from the cartoons of which main material is line to the literature of which main material is language. Except writing characters all images like pictures, photographs and cartoons are attractive for the child who doesn't know writing. Various cartoons that can be combined with a sense of wonder which is at the top level in preschool period will play an important role in the development of the child's visual reading skills and speaking skills.
