Village and Village Life in Modern Zazaki Works

Abstract

Geography and homeland are important to modern realist writers, geography being a fundamental element in their literary works. Geography sometimes stands out with its traditions, customs and social structure in a more local area such as a village. Traditions, customs and social structures are more concentrated in localized areas such as in villages. Thus regional or so-called village literature has become an important mode of literary expression; the village beauty, and the villager’s life, customs, folklore and culture are the subjects of these works. In modern Zaza literature, the village and village life are focused on, without there being as yet a specific structure that could be called village literature for Zazaki. However, there is sufficient literary material for evaluation of a village literature per se. Zaza villages, the natural environment and life elements have been the subject of literary works and to a certain extent also Zazaki literary customs, culture, beliefs, difficulties, language and identity. In the present study, various of modern critical writings is examined using the data collection method. And, as a result of the findings, the village and its village life has been illustrated by way of selections and evaluations.
