Using the folk literature in terms of reproducing the culture: The cartoon of Dede Korkut example

This thesis has been elaborating how the culture is transmitting to the kids by the book of Dede Korkut through cartoons. Dede Korkut which has Vatican and Dresden copies is the main structure of the Turkish culture. Within the work, there are influential cultural values and disciplines. The thesis has worked on the cartoon of Dede Korkut which was updated by "Blue Dream Production" and prepared by TRT Kid channel in between 2014-2015. The thesis presents some examinations in terms of transmitting of the culture, the process children have personality, updating process of the stories and socializations. As a result, it is seen that our culture values and norms were transmitted through the method of children training. It is realized that some sexual and violence scenes which are placed in Dresden copy weren't shown or soften on the TV. In the cartoon, the importance of Nawruz, Ramadan Fest, Fasting, being together were given as independent from the book. Thanks to this thesis, it is reached that getting the foreigner cultures localized can be prevented and it is possible to grow up kids who know their own culture and norms.
