Özet:

 Considering the increase in the number of childrens books that question and challenge traditional gender roles especially in recent years, this study aims to examine how Türkiyes culture repertoire has been influenced by both translated and indigenous works by compiling lists of these books and discuss whether there is a parallelism between translated and indigenous works in the context of egalitarian childrens books. To this end, the lists of translated and indigenous childrens books were compiled using a kind of chain-referral method by making use of academic studies on childrens literature translation and gender, academic bibliographies of egalitarian childrens literature, news reports on books that have been declared obscene in Türkiye, and paratextual elements such as book promotions. In addition, the keywords egalitarian childrens literature and feminist childrens literature were searched through online publishers catalogs and library databases. Since such works were found to have increased significantly in the 2000s, the lists focused on the years between 2000 and 2022. A total of 172 works121 translated and 51 indigenouswere identified, excluding re-translations and reprints. Following this, the publication years and publishing houses of the works in the bibliographical lists were analyzed in detail. Afterwards, specific categories emerged in both the indigenous and translated works based on their approaches to nontraditional gender representations were mainly discussed using paratextual elements. The chronological order between the translated and indigenous works and the parallelism between the categories are some of the aspects pointing to the relationship between these works. This suggests that translation can play an important role in the formation or development of a literary genre that does not exist in the culture repertoire. In conclusion, it is thought that these results, which are mainly based on paratextual elements, can be strengthened with a thematic analysis based on textual elements.

 Özellikle son yıllarda, toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini sorgulayan ve onlara meydan okuyan çocuk kitaplarındaki artış göz önünde tutularak, bu çalışma, çevirisi yapılan ve özgün olarak kaleme alınan bu tür çocuk kitaplarını listeleyerek, eşitlikçi çocuk yazını özelinde, Türkiyedeki kültür repertuarının bu eserler bağlamında nasıl etkilendiğini ve çeviri ve özgün eserler arasında bir paralellik olup olmadığını tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, çeviri ve özgün çocuk kitaplarından oluşan listeler, çocuk yazını çevirisi ve toplumsal cinsiyet ekseninde yürütülen akademik çalışmalardan, eşitlikçi çocuk yazınına ilişkin hazırlanan akademik listelerden, Türkiyede muzır ilan edilen kitaplara ilişkin haberlerden ve kitap tanıtımları gibi metin dışı unsurlardan faydalanarak bir tür zincirleme yönlendirme metodu kullanılarak oluşturulmuştur. Ek olarak, eşitlikçi çocuk yazını ve feminist çocuk yazını anahtar sözcükleri, çevrimiçi yayınevleri katalogları ve kütüphane veri tabanlarında aratılmıştır. Söz konusu eserlerin özellikle 2000li yıllarda artış gösterdiği belirlendiğinden, listeler 2000 ile 2022 yılları arasına yoğunlaşmıştır. Söz konusu yıllarda yayımlanan yeniden çeviriler, vb. hariç toplamda 121 çeviri ve 51 özgün eser olmak üzere toplam 172 eser tespit edilmiştir. Bunun ardından, bibliyografik listelerde yer alan söz konusu özgün ve çeviri eserlerin yayın yılları ve yayınevleri ayrıntılı olarak incelenmiştir. Daha sonra, geleneksel olmayan toplumsal cinsiyet temsillerini ele alış biçimlerine göre her iki listede de belli kategorilerin öne çıktığı belirlenmiş ve tartışılmıştır. Çeviri ve özgün eserler arasındaki kronolojik sıralama ve özgün ve çeviri eserlerin dahil olduğu kategoriler arasındaki paralellik özgün ve çeviri eserler arasındaki ilişkiye işaret eden hususlardan biri olmuştur. Bu durum, çevirinin, kültür repertuarında mevcut olmayan bir türün oluşumunda veya onun gelişiminde önemli bir rol oynayabileceğini düşündürmektedir. Sonuç olarak, özellikle metin dışı unsurlara dayanılarak varılan bu bulguların, metiniçi unsurlar üzerinden yapılacak tematik bir analiz ile daha güçleneceği düşünülmektedir.
