Summary/Abstract: Crimean author Cengiz Dağcı (1919-2011) is one of the prominent novelists of contemporary literature. Although his primary interest is writing novels, he has also given some examples of story and recollections writings. Korkunç Yıllar (Horrible Years), Yurdunu Kaybeden Adam (The Man Who Lost his Land), Onlar da İnsandı (They Were Human too), Ölüm ve Korku Günleri (Days of Death and Fear), Badem Dalına Asılı Bebekler (Babies Hanging on the Almond Branch) are some of his well known novels. With his novel O Topraklar Bizimdi (Those Lands Were Ours), he has impressed and got a fame within the readers of the Turkic communities. In this novel, he emphasises the importance of the value of the territory of the motherland which is bounded to the idea that owning a land or property, even if it is small one, is very important for human beings. Many people, who study in different fields of humanities and social sciences, have been influenced from the opinions of Mihail Bahtin, who is one of most important theorists of 20th century. He has created his own echol which is called Bahtin Cirle to study in the field of language philosophy, theory and history as well as the Russian formalism of novel. At the beginning Bahtin’s opinions were effective in the literatüre, but later on they spreaded out over the many fields such as philosophy, sociology and history. According to Bahtin’s view, a novel can be defined as an aesthetic activity through the relationship between the work and writer. He deals with a novel in different ways and claims that writers sometimes infiltrate into the kronotop of the work and shadows forth himself in the dialogues of the heroes of the novel. Here, we present a study titled “Estetik Etkinlikte Yazar-Kahraman İlişkisi Bağlamında O Topraklar Bizimdi Adlı Romanın Analizi” (Analysis of Novel Named Those Lands Were Ours in the Context of Relationship between Author and Protagonist in the Aesthetic Event); the novel named O Topraklar Bizimdi was anaysed based on the Bahtin’s view on relationships between writer and novels characters.
