Abstract
THE EXAMINATION OF THE MATURE GENERATİON AND THE FIRST TEACHER STORY BY BARTHES' INTERTEXTUALITY THEORY
Literature is the expression of a person's feelings and thoughts in a written and verbal way. The person who creates the written products mentioned here is the writer or poet. Writers are people who follow the problems, life, understanding, beliefs and culture of the society and reflect them on their works. Every nation has writers who know the characteristics of that nation well, care about society and have managed to win the hearts of the people. Tölögön Kasımbekov and Cengiz Aytmatov are two authors who gave important works in the literature of Kyrgyzstan. Tölögön Kasımekov's Cetilgen Kurak (Mature Generation) work to be explored and Cengiz Aytmatov's First Teacher work are teacher stories. A short information about intertextuality will be given before moving on to these works that are written in different years but are similar in many respects, and then the works will be examined in five ways in terms of their collective and common aspects based on Roland Barthes' intertextuality theory. These; interpretive code, semantics (semantic code), symbolic code, free choice acts (action code), cultural code. Roland Barthes identified the codes, but the information remained at the level of theory and was not poured into sample analysis. The aim is to make Barthes' analysis method visible by putting it into practice.
