Studies on the Sociology of Literature
The sociology of literature, which deals with the relationship between literature and society, has been subject to various studies in many countries in terms of both the theoretical and the practical fields. This situation enables the understanding of the rich and complicated world of literature in its multiple dimensions. Yet the scope of studies conducted in this field in Turkey are very limited. In this article, we have dealt with the history of literary sociology as a discipline in Turkey and introduced the available works. Moreover, we have tried to explain the reasons for the lack of a wider interest. The objective is to draw attention to the significance of the field and to articulate the necessary resources for the realization of such research.
