Özet:

Oral culture products that reflect the culture and values of a nation have been one of the most well-fed sources of written culture. Oral cultural products are the sources of stories and novels of Kyrgyz Turks and one of the great writers of the Turkish world, Cengiz Aytmatov. Epic of Manas which one of the biggest epics of the Kyrgyz oral culture and the world’s with nearly a million verses is one of the oral folk culture products that Aytmatov makes use of. Aytmatov repeats Manas in his works it uses its language, form, briefly, every color that makes Manas to Manas. One of the main issues of his novels is identity. More often than not, worked on individuals who lost their national identity within the Soviet system and criticized the society through them. The concept of mankurt, which Aytmatov redound to the world literature, is an example of this criticism. Another criticism that Aytmatov did not explicitly specify in his novels, but also used, is the közkaman. In the study, the characters representing the közkaman in Cengiz Aytmatov's novel called Dreams of The She-Wolf will be discussed by mentioning the differences between the concepts of otherization and közkaman, which are mixed together.
