Özet:

Folk literature, which is spread orally among the people, often contains social and cultural values within itself and thus presents the social quality to us. According to the dominant social context, the unacceptable elements that are created and said are secretly included in these structures, one of which is homosexuality. In the fiction of epics, hetero-patriarchal thoughts are maintained by the pressure of religious and social-cultural values on others through dialectics, they are blessed and thus homoerotic feelings are hidden under the name of cultural values. Hence the story takes shape according to power and heterosexual feelings. However, these homoerotic feelings can still be learned through some character and behavior. In this context, this study we have tried to be analyzed according to the Memê Alan Epic queer theory. Memê Alan is an epic in Kurdish and has become widespread among Kurds as well. In this study, this epic was analyzed within the framework of these concepts such as gender, gender identity, language, culture, death, desire, love and pleasure. In this epic, some hidden homosexual symbols and queer characters are identified.
