Özet:

 Since folk culture and tradition are the unifying elements of society, they fall within the field of study of many disciplines. Folk culture, which is an important and fertile source especially for literary works, also stands out in novels with its concrete or abstract elements. Metin Savaş, one of the important names of the contemporary Turkish novel, utilizes many elements of folk culture in his novels, including folk tales, epics and epic elements, fairy tales, memorates, animals, plants, jinns, games, numbers and beliefs. Aware of the importance of connecting with tradition for a text, the author makes use of mythical elements of folk culture by updating them. Rewriting is the reconsideration of a previously created text and its interpretation or use with different evaluations and approaches. This text can be elements that exist and continue to exist in oral culture, or images and motifs that have been transformed into other forms. When a writer brings together the disparate elements taken from another writer into a coherent whole, organizes them and creates a harmony between them, and thus creates a new text, this is seen as a re-writing process. Literary transformation, on the other hand, is the transformation of an existing text into a literary text by observing the criteria of literariness. In this article, the elements of folk culture in Metin Savaşs novels are discussed in the context of intertextuality and it is tried to reveal how these elements are created through rewriting and literary transformation methods.

 Halk kültürü ve geleneği, toplumun birleştirici unsurları olduğu için pek çok bilim dalının çalışma alanına girer. Özellikle edebî eserler için de önemli ve mümbit bir kaynak olan halk kültürü, somut veya soyut öğeleriyle romanlarda da temayüz eder. Günümüz Türk romanının önemli isimlerinden biri olan Metin Savaş romanlarında; halk hikâyeleri, destanlar ve destana ait unsurlar, masallar, memoratlar, hayvanlar, bitkiler, cinler, oyunlar, sayılar ve inançlar başta olmak üzere pek çok halk kültürü unsurundan yararlanır. Gelenekle bağ kurmanın bir metin için öneminin farkında olan yazar, halk kültürüne ait mitsel öğeleri güncelleyerek değerlendirir. Yeniden yazma, daha önce yaratılmış bir metnin yeniden ele alınarak farklı değerlendirmelerle, yaklaşımlarla yorumlanması ya da kullanılmasıdır. Bu metin, sözlü kültürde var olan ve varlığını sürdüren unsurlar olabileceği gibi başka formlara dönüşmüş imge ve motifler de olabilir. Bir yazar başka yazardan aldığı ayrışık unsurları, tutarlı bir bütün içerisinde bir araya getirir, onları düzenleyerek aralarında bir uyum sağlar ve böylelikle yeni bir metin ortaya çıkarırsa bu yeniden-yazma işlemi olarak görülür. Edebî dönüştürüm ise mevcut bir metnin edebîlik kıstasları gözetilerek yeniden bir edebî metin haline getirilmesidir. Bu makalede Metin Savaşın romanlarındaki halk kültürü unsurları metinlerarasılık bağlamında ele alınmış ve bu unsurların yeniden yazma ve edebî dönüştürüm yöntemleri ile nasıl yaratıldığı ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır.
