THE INSTRUMENTALIZATION OF IDEOLOGY IN THE VEHBI BARDAKÇI’S NOVEL OF THE EPIC OF SHEIKH BEDREDDIN
The craftsman brings historical reality to readers, using it as a functional in aesthetic fiction with a contribution of imagination. However, some authors seek to ensure the transfer of relative knowledge formed by their ideological tendencies. One of the works that can be assessed in this context is Sheikh Bedreddin Destani, written by Vehbi Bardakci. Sheikh Bedreddin, whose identity has not yet been fully elucidated, acts as a social subject in which Marxist discourse is specified in a fictional world. With the contribution of cultural memory, it becomes the voice of a society that is almost objectified, connecting with people. Fixed lands, collective production, a fair division and a religious view of humanity constitute the sphere of existence of his teachings. The life and thoughts of Sheikh Bedreddin and the execution of his attempt to force them to implement fiction. Bedreddin, who is in the state of a social subject, is considered in accordance with the hero's positive teachings as an idealistic person who tries to change the social structure of the peasantry, reveal itself and raise awareness of them in a fictional discourse with its reaction against order.
