TOPLUMCU GERÇEKÇİ ROMANLAR BAŞTA OLMAK ÜZERE EDEBİ ESERLERİN SOSYOLOJİ ALANINDA VERİ OLARAK KULLANILABİLİRLİĞİ: (Araştırma Makalesi).

In the order to solve social crises in transition from traditional society to modern, the sociolgy that emerged in the West in the 19th century tried to understand the society's dynamics and issues such as norms, values, social relations, religious beliefs, the role of the individual in society. Because literature review and represent society, its provides very wide data to sociology. The family structure, which is the research field of sociology, is the institutionalized human relations that surround the whole life, such as neighborhoods, cities and villages, and named by perpetrators before sociologists make sense of them and structured with common sense. A sociologist problematizes the same mediocrity while a literary narrates an ordinary event in the context of cause and effect with the projection he holds from any section to life. Sociological criticism, which aims to understand a literary work, reinforces that the aim of understanding society through literary Works. Engels refers to Balzac's novels as a source of French history. Along with that many examples from the birth of Turkish literature to the problematic of the novels and from socialist realistic novels in Egyptian literature to the mirroring of social change on the historical lines point to the success of literature in sociological data.
