Mehmet Âkif Ersoy's poems investigation in the context of sociological criticism

Sociology of literature is a branch of science that examines the textual identity of the individual and society in the context of cause and effect relationships. Mehmet Âkif Ersoy, one of the most important artists of Turkish literature, who emphasizes the social, national and cultural and builds his works of art on these core values, reflects the social, religious and political realities of his period in his works, and also turns his works into sociological documents. In this respect, it is possible to say that Mehmet Âkif Ersoy is the guide and spokesman of the society in his works, where individual emotions are not included much. This thesis, which we try to carry out with the principle of scientific impartiality, generally consists of three main parts. In the first part of the study, information about Mehmet Âkif Ersoy's life, literary personality and works will be given. In the light of this information, determinations will be made about the author's place and position in Turkish literature. In order to understand and make sense of the author, the literary community he is in will be used. In the second part of the study, information will be given about "Sociology of Literature", which is an interdisciplinary understanding created by two different disciplines coming together, and its development in Turkey in parallel with its development in the world will also be touched upon. With this study, information will be gained about the transition from traditional theories to contemporary theories, reflections of contemporary theories will be found on poems written long ago, and its originality will increase as it will focus on the sociological reflections on the themes of Mehmet Âkif Ersoy's poems. In the third part of the study, the thematic elements of the poems will be evaluated in a sociological context.
