Özet:

Translation activities have played an important role in the modernization efforts of the period that began with Tanzimat and continued with the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. For more than 100 years, many literary and scientific works have been translated into Turkish. Sociology has also been one of the disciplines contributed through translation during this period. It is seen that since 1928, which was translated to Latin letters, sociology books in English, German and French languages have been awarded through translation into Turkish. The current study aimed at pointing to this, focuses on the purpose of translation and translators of these sociological works between the 1928 and 1950s. The basic claim of the study is that these works were translated by the teachers and teachers of the period in order to create a repertoire of a curriculum that will be taught in the classes of sociology in high school and university. Two different theoretical frameworks have been used to study the previous books and translators. Even Zohar's cultural repertoire concept was used to explain the role of the books translated in the first years of the Republic of Turkey in sociology education. The concept of change subject of Toury has been used to emphasize that most of the teachers and teachers who make translations are translator identities and persons who form this discipline. Thus, the contribution of translation activities to the educational world is intended to be revealed from a translation perspective. The findings of the current study show that educators who add the translator identity to their professional identity have both filled a significant theoretical gap in the field of social sciences in the early Republic period, and that they have made the development of social science in the coming years a different momentum.
