Although ecocritical theory, which
poses a nature-based criticism on the literary texts not an anthropocentric
criticism, has become popular after 1990s in Europe, it is a theory that has
just been started to be known in Turkey. Ecocritical theory, which reacts to
the capitalist system that considers that human and nature are separate from each other in terms of
the fact that the human is an authorized-superior being that can exploit the
nature however he likes and which argues that human and nature are integrated,
suggests that human-nature relations are inevitably reflected in the literature
works. Literary genres like novels, tales and poems in the New Turkish
Literature have started to be analyzed recently in this field in our country.
However, such analyses are scarcely any in the folk literature. In this study,
the elements related to nature in the poems of Dadaloğlu, who is one of the
milestones in the Turkish Minstrel tradition and who is the sonorous of Avşar
Yörük Turkmens, and his perspective towards the nature are analyzed in a
ecocritical way.
