Özet:

 The spiral of silence as a model of communication was developed by Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann to observe the influence of public opinion in determining an individuals beliefs. Therefore, even if the individual has contrary ideas to the public perception, in order not to be excluded, the individual expresses hisher opinion according to the general beliefs of the society and becomes silent. In some cases, this silence may lead the person to change existing ideas and adopt the ideas of the society, whereas in other cases, due to anxiety, it may take the form of not being able to express ideas that are contrary to the society, even if they believe in their truth. In either case, the individual suffers and is unable to resist in the face of public opinion. As a communication theory, the spiral of silence and the events that the characters in Chyngyz Aitmatovs story Jamila experience coincide. From this point of view, in this study, in Chyngyz Aitmatovs story Jamila, the events experienced by Jamila and her relatives, who entered into a spiral of silence due to the fear of being marginalized from society as a result of a forbidden relationship, were analyzed by content analysis method. The story of Jamila and the model of the silence spiral have been widely discussed in the literature from a variety of perspectives. Unfortunately, there are no studies in the literature in which the protagonist of the story, Jamila and her relatives are analyzed with a focus on the spiral of silence. In this respect, therefore, this study is of a huge significance. In addition, the analysis and observations made in the study will also contribute to the moral discussions of the story. However, the study has avoided adopting neither positive nor negative approach in formulating the conceptual framework of the spiral of silence. The relationship between Jamila and Daniyar and Seyits childish love for Jamila are dealt within the framework of the spiral of silence that the protagonists have chosen to keep silent, focusing on how they behave rather than how they should have behaved. The study concluded that through composing this novel, Aitmatov was able to break free from the spiral of silence that he had fallen into as a result of his childhood love for Jamile.

 Bir iletişim modeli olarak suskunluk sarmalı, bireyin kanaatlerinin belirlenmesinde kamuoyunun etkisini gözlemlemek amacıyla Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann tarafından geliştirilmiştir. Buna göre birey, kamuoyuna aykırı fikirlere sahip olsa bile dışlanmamak için toplumun genel kanaatlerine göre fikir belirtmekte, sessizliğe bürünmektedir. Bu sessizlik, bazı durumlarda bireyin, mevcut fikirlerini değiştirmesine ve toplumun fikirlerini benimsemesine yol açmakta, bazı durumlarda ise fikirlerinin doğruluğuna inansa bile endişeden dolayı dile getirememe şeklinde olabilmektedir. Her iki durumda da birey acı çekmekte, kamuoyunun karşısında direnç gösterememektedir. Bir iletişim kuramı olan suskunluk sarmalı ile Cengiz Aytmatovun Cemile hikâyesindeki kahramanların yaşadıkları olaylar örtüşmektedir. Buradan hareketle bu araştırmada Cemile hikâyesinde, bir yasak ilişki neticesinde toplumdan dışlanma korkusuyla suskunluk sarmalına giren Cemile ve yakınlarının yaşadıkları olaylar, içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Cemile hikâyesi ve suskunluk sarmalı modeli literatürde farklı açılardan ele alınarak üzerinde çokça tartışılan konular olmuştur. Ancak hikâyenin başkahramanı Cemile ve yakınlarının suskunluk sarmalı odağında incelendiği bir çalışmaya literatürde rastlanmamıştır. Dolayısıyla çalışma bu yönüyle önem arz etmektedir. Ayrıca araştırmada yapılan analiz ve tespitler, hikâye üzerinde yapılan özellikle ahlaki tartışmalara katkı sağlayacaktır. Ancak çalışmanın, suskunluk sarmalı çerçevesinde ele alınmasında müspet veya menfi bir yaklaşımdan kaçınılmıştır. Cemile ile Danyar arasında yaşanan yakınlaşma ile Seyitin Cemileye karşı içinde hissettiği çocukça aşk, kahramanların girdikleri suskunluk sarmalı çerçevesinde ele alınmış, kahramanların nasıl davranması gerektiğine değil nasıl davrandıklarına odaklanılmıştır. Çalışmada Aytmatovun, çocukluğunda Cemileye duyduğu aşktan dolayı girdiği suskunluk sarmalından, bu hikâyeyi yazarak çıkabildiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
