Abstract

Cevat Çapan has published poetry books, theater reviews and anthologies and has translated poems from poets of various countries into Turkish. He is also a writer and academician. In addition to his many works, Çapan also has a novel for children. This children's novel is called "Hapış ile Kapış Havana'da". "Hapış ile Kapış Havana'da" was published in 2018 by the drawings of Semih Poroy. After being friends with each other, the three children characters of the mentioned novel, Hapış, Kapış and Kavruk Yunus, go on a summer vacation to spend their summer holiday in Kâni Uncle's summer house in Yalıoba. During this holiday, a cultural transmission is made in the work through the conversations that the children have with Uncle Kâni, the archaeological sites they visit, the music they listen to, and the literary artists they meet. This study aims to examine the cultural transmission in the novel. The novel has been studied for this purpose. As a result of the examination, it has been observed that Cevat Çapan made cultural transmission to his readers about tangible cultural heritage elements, intangible cultural heritage elements, literary cultural elements and music culture. These transmissions in the novel are very important in terms of raising consciousness and awareness of cultural elements in children.
