Özet:

It is a matter of curiosity with what motives the historiography in Turkey deals with the nomads. In this context, it is thought that more than one factor is effective in the emergence of studies on the social and cultural life of nomads, which is one of the most important elements of Ottoman rural life. The first of these is the national historiography, which was written under the influence of the Turkism movement, which reached its peak with the second constitutional monarchy. As a matter of fact, the translations of the main sources giving information about the Oghuz tribes were made in this period. The second factor is the sociological understanding of history that developed under the leadership of the French Annales School, and with this understanding, social, economic and cultural issues in Turkey began to be given more weight. Along with the aforementioned school, nomads became one of the subjects of fields such as sociology, literature, linguistics, folklore, fine arts and health, as well as field of history. Therefore, in this article, it is aimed to be a reference for new researchers by making an inventory of the studies on nomads in Turkey.
