Journal Title: Journal of the Human and Social Science Researches - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Cradle-songs that are known as a kind of folk song sung by mothers melodiously to silence and make sleep their babies are the most valuable products of the woman literature as the creators are women. Woman, who expresses wishes and dreams for the baby in the lap or in the cradle in a form of her most sincere emotions attached by motherhood to her, would find the opportunity in this way to share her distresses and troubles with her baby. Cradle songs that are considered as included among products of anonymous folk literature and sorted accordingly have been sung gently by the female poets particularly in the classical Turkish Literature and been written up by containing wishes and advices in general. In this study, the projection of woman discourse under guidance of cradle songs sung by Şeref Hanım will be identified and evaluated in the classical Turkish Literature where the love is expressed with pre-determined stereotype and poetic themes and where a male-mouth discourse is dominate.
