Bir fakelore örneği olarak Çağan Irmak’ın “takip”i
(Geleneksel Yayıncılık, 2009) Aka, B.
Bu yazıda, Walter J. Ong’un “birincil sözlü kültür” ve “ikincil sözlü kültür” tanımlarından hareketle ikincil sözlü kültür ürünü olarak adlandırabilecek olan Çağan Irmak’ın Takip adlı filminde, birincil sözlü kültür ürünlerinden olan mitolojiden nasıl yararlanıldığı incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Sorulan sorularla Takip’te kullanılan kurt adam motifinin Türk mitolojisinde yeri olup olmadığı tartışılmış ve kurt adam mitinin Türk mitoloji ve efsanesinde bir bağlamı olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu sonuçtan yola çıkılarak yazıda, ikinci bir tartışma konusu olarak Takip’in bir “fakelore” örneği olup olmadığı sorusu ortaya atılmış ve bu soruya cevap aranmıştır.

The evaluation of Yunus Emre in the notion of fakelore
(2007) Tunç, Gökhan
Whether they are nationalist, socialist, humanist, Alevi or Sunni, a great many writers embrace and adopt Yunus Emre's views; they look upon him as a representative of their own opinions and make of the poet a historical figure legitimating these opinions. With regard to this status attributed to Yunus Emre, certain questions such as the following emerge: Is the poet indeed a representative of one or all of the perspectives? If not, why do writers of many different stances ascribe to Yunus Emre such a function? A satisfactory answer to these specific questions requires the evaluation of the poet and his works in terms of the notion "fakelore". To this end, this article, wherein the views of Richard M. Dorson, Alan Dundes, Eric Hobsbawn and Terence Ranger on fakelore and on the invention of tradition will be taken into consideration, aims at the analysis of the fakeloric status of Yunus Emre.

The 'fakelore' term and Nasreddin Hodja
(2008) Şimşek, Funda Işıl
"Fakelore", in general terms, expresses fake folklore material produced by researchers or creative writers for popular aims. However, these are very close to folklore productions, as a matter of fact, these materials have been so naturalised that they can not be understood by ordinary people except those who have an expertise on folklore. In 1950, Dorson revived the term "fakelore." This particular term has contributed to folklore studying oral material as a product of natural life styles of nations. In this study, Nasreddin Hodja - a character whose fame has gone beyond the borders of Turkey and Turkic world - has been studied through his identity and personality within a frame of "fakelore" term, which has not been thought about in our country yet. Nasreddin Hodja, as a shared national and international personality has been commented on by many sub-identities such as political, social and religious or by groups who have their own system of values and worldviews. At this point, it has been compulsory to approach views discussing Hodja's personality and identity according to their own values.

The tradition the political ideology invented : Karagöz
(2008) Güven, Oğuz
Richard M. Dorson coined the neologism "fakelore" in 1950 for the inauthentic products which don't occur in oral tradition and which aren't obtained during a fieldwork. He claimed that the inclusion of these inauthentic products in folklore as if they were genuinely traditional would harm folklore studies. Many articles were written on this issue following Dorson's argument and different neologisms such as "the invention of tradition", "pseudo folklore" and "folklorismus/ folklorism" were coined due to varying approaches. "Fakelore", which was conceptualized by folklorists like Dorson, Dundes and Fox can be utilized to comprehend the seven Karagöz plays which were written by writers commissioned by C.H.P. (Republican People's Party) in 1941. A study like this indicates that the Turkish shadow play Karagöz which is an important cultural heritage was inoculated with the dominant ideology of the era and that an invented tradition was offered to the society. The plays ordered by C.H.P. caused a significant change in the characters, the texture and the function of Karagöz, the history of which extends to the 16th century. The aforesaid seven plays supply a profitable research area for folklorists who will study fakelore in Turkey.
