Why Do We Publish?’: Culture And Ideology in The People’s House Journals

Öz

This study examines the “Why Do We Publish?” articles featured in the first issues of the People’s House journals, which constitute significant texts reflecting the cultural policies of the early Republican period in Turkey. These articles not only outlined the rationale behind the publication of the journals but also revealed how the ideology of the Republic was transmitted to the public, which cultural priorities were emphasized, and how folklore was mobilized in this process. Based on an interpretive reading of nineteen journals, the findings indicate four recurring discourses. First, folklore was positioned as the essence of national culture and the foundation of national identity. Second, folklore was framed as a raw material supporting modernization and reforms, reworked through Western techniques and presented to society. Third, the journals functioned as a bridge, integrating local elements into a framework of national unity. Finally, they served as vehicles for the transmission of Republican ideology to the people. These findings suggest that folklore in the early Republican period was not only treated as an object of academic study but also deliberately instrumentalized in the nation-building process. The study highlights the dual role of the People’s House journals as both cultural archives and ideological tools.
