Dersim 1938 Events In The Context Of Political Novels Defending The Anti-Thesis

Dersim 1938 Process is one the biggest events in recent political history; which reflects to novel in a way and is a subject for literature as well as political, social, cultural studies. It is challening to cast an artistic form to this tragic period which is both a responsibility and an important resourse for literature. Both the bitterness of the event and its social trauma becloud to tell it in an artistic form. It can be said that novels trying to tell the Dersim tragedy by a political perspective have problems about their messages, if we leave aside the modern samples. Thus, in these political novels, telling the Dersim tragedy by a harsh, rude, biased perspective leads to greater destruction instead of the collective subconscious treatment complications. Consequently, it is quite interesting Dersim 1938, narratives advocating the thesis opposing about events have similiar features. For example, Haydar Isık trying to reflect the Dersim tragedy from the window of the victim works all elements of the novel, from fiction to the people, from time to space, from language to expression, randomly because he flaps to state his ideas about the period in a style of political-agitational in his novel, Dersimli Memik Ağa. Unable to maintain a certain level of literary sense, Haydar Isık's his only positive thing is to show courage to tell a subject that is very difficult and dangerous to talk and to discuss, with the massacre, the pain, the exile; but the intellectual responsibility and courage is not enough to translate Dersimli Memik Aga into a novel. On the other hand, although Barbaros Baykara's novel, Dersim 1937 tells Dersim 1938 Events as a trap for Republic of Turkey and Kemalism defends opposing theses, it has the same literary defects.
