Abstract

Aka Gündüz (1885-1958) who produces many works such as poetry, story, novel and theater in addition to the newspaper and magazine writings, is one of the productive writers of National Literature Period and Republican Period of Turkish Literature. Game authoring is one of the salient features of Aka Gündüz. Yarım Türkler (1919) which is given by Aka Gündüz in National Literature Period puts forward Turkism and nationalism, which are the mainstream ideas of the period. Yarım Türkler is a literary work in which Turkism and nationalism are defended as an idea. ‘Turkishness’ constitutes the basis of the intellectual/mental conflict between persons in Yarım Türkler. Evaluations which is about any fiction’s thematic aspect and structural elements such as persons, events, space, time become more functional when the conflict is focused. Because of this thought, in this study, ‘conflict’ and the thematic aspect which is shaped by ‘conflict’ in Yarım Türkler is pointed out. The work is examined in this direction and evaluated in respect of the work’s thematic aspect, message, author’s ideological trends and literary personality in relation to ‘conflict’.
