Alev Saçlı Çocuk Adlı Yapıtın Fantastik Unsurlar Açısından İncelenmesi

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to examine the fantastic elements in the children's literary work of Christine Nöstlinger in the epic story form titled "The Flame-Haired Child" and the contribution of these elements to the children's development. The study was conducted with document analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, and the data were analyzed with descriptive analysis. As a result of the research, the dream-reality relationship was designed as a cyclical relationship in the fictionalization of the fantastic elements in the story built around the main character named Frida. The fantastic elements in this work can be seen as Frida's ability to light and extinguish her hair with mantras, Aunt Anna's having the same ability, their flying abilities in the air, their hair's turning into wings, the mysterious red book, the cat's speech ability, and the coding of words. In the story, the superhuman powers were presented with the element of imagination in a style that will appeal to the readers and it was shown how human life changed through a book by buildings a connection between reality and imagination. With this way, the author conveys that the power of imaginary reality will be revealed only by the power of knowledge, and shows the greatness of knowledge skillfully to the children's world through implication, going beyond didactic. In spite of this criticism, communication based on intrafamilial love has been brought into the forefront. Although this imaginary reality is covered up, the fantastic elements in the work have been tried to be built without breaking the connection between the dream and reality, and the readers are directed to intuitive thinking with the limitless possibilities of imagination.

Türkçe Öğretmenlerinin Gözünden Fantastik Çocuk Edebiyatı

“…İlaveten fantastik eserlerde bulunan kahramanlarla özdeşim kurmaları, etkileyici tasarımlara sahip olmaları gibi çeşitli faktörler de öğrencilerin bu eserleri okumayı tercih etmelerinin sebepleri arasında sayılabilir.

“…Bilim kurguda daha çok farklı galaksiler, uzay gemileri, dünya dışı varlıklar, robotlar, zaman makineleri, virüsler gibi ögeler yer almaktadır (İnneci-Bozkaplan, 2010). İnsanoğlunun görünenin ötesindekini anlamaya çalışma çabası, bilinmeyene ve olağanüstüye karşı duyduğu ilgi, hızla gelişen teknolojiye, küreselleşmeye, kimlik bunalımlarına, yoksulluğa, değer yitimlerine karşı olağan dışı dünyaya yönelme eğilimi, gerçek dünyadan ve yaşamın monotonluğundan kaçma isteği fantastik edebiyatın ortaya çıkmasının sebepleri arasında sayılabilir (Ağan, 2017;Baki, 2021;Kartal, 2007;Toyman, 2006). Sıkıntılardan kaçmaya çalışan okur çareyi hayal dünyasına kaçmakta bulur.…”
