Researcher Serdar Öztürk made very important detections about scientific studies of İlhan Başgöz in this study. One of these detections is that İlhan Başgöz united communication science with folklore. Serdar Öztürk states that the main skeleton of the method İlhan Baştürk used for studying folktales consists of arguments of representative school and he determines that according to İlhan Başgöz oral narrative is a social representation. Serdar Öztürk, based on the idea of telling a story being a social representation and opinions he stated in this context, models İlhan Başgöz’s perception of social representation. He creates a diagram of communication of the narrator between near and distant environment and audience. With this diagram, Serdar Öztürk makes İlhan Başgöz’s story examination style clear and understandable. This study named “An Attempt to Read the Novel Named Bağrıyanık Ömer Using Social Representation Model” aims to examine the novel using the diagram created by Serdar Öztürk as the base. The first edition of this novel written by Mahmut Yesari (1895-1945) was made in 1930. This novel, which is considered as one of the firsts of our literature in terms of having a child as the protagonist, combines traditional and modern narrative. This study is in the form of applying a method applied by İlhan Başgöz to examine a traditional narrative to a modern narrative. In other words, it is the application of İlhan Başgöz’s method formulated by Serdar Öztürk as “a social representation” to the novel. With this practice, İlhan Başgöz’s approach that unites communication science and folklore is aimed to be carried out on a text that combines the traditional with the modern, but that is the product of written culture rather than oral. Thus, Bağrıyanık Ömer was examined with a new perspective for the study of literary texts and with a model covering multiple disciplines; the question of whether the novel is a social representation was sought.
