The semiotic analysis of the incarnative objects used in cam rituals in Turkish painting after 1950

According to the research, it has been seen that the traditional beliefs and performances used in the Kam rituals of the shamanism of the Turkish people have been traditionalized and some of them have been used as expressions of art in the works of art. Without any doubt, the place of art is very meaningful in preserving our traditional art roots in today's art life and transferring it to future generations by acquiring the place it deserves in international art. Therefore, it is aimed to identify some of the incarnative objects belonging to Shamanism in the center of Turkish culture and the elements used in post-1950 Turkish painting, which have the characteristics of visual inventory. Thus, semiotic analysis of the incarnative objects used in Kam rituals was aimed in the light of the totemist philosophy which was reflected to the contemporary Turkish painting art in Turkish society. In this study, incarnative object samples collected from Turkish painting after 1950 were examined. As a result of the examination; Rope, Eagle, Drum, Evil Eye Bead, Horse, Deer, Sheep-Aries-Goat, Rocks and Stones, Trees, Mountain and many other elements such as accessories and shamanism belief has been used in terms of both the formal and natural meaning of the Turkish Art. In this study, it is based on the semiotic science method which is defined as the science branch which is translated by using the language word as a method. The objects used in the selected works will be scanned in terms of qualitative and quantitative terms and semiotic language will be presented with semiotic analysis. In order to obtain qualitative data, an archive was searched and these scans were presented as documents.
