| Sumario: | This study examines the Mus People’s House and its nine sub-branch activities to the community. Socio-cultural policies of Kemalist ideology transferred to the community through People’s House in Mus located in Eastern Anatolia during the single-party period have been investigated. A new and modern identity for the public has been tried to be formed as well as increasing Turkish literacy activities via people’s houses with different socio-cultural activities with the purpose of adopting Kemalist principles and reforms to the society and to create a nationalist nation state. In 1934 with the appointment of governor Tevfik Sirri Gur to Mus people’s house was opened and shortly its nine sub-branches started their work. Mus People’s House conducted its work in difficult economic conditions caused by the lack of qualified personnel and economic resource. Speaking Kurdish language as well as having a different culture is among the problems that Mus People’s House encountered. Due to these reasons Mus People’s House typically conducted its work with Turkish language courses, and conferences and seminars representing Turkish culture. In order to increase the sense of national solidarity among the society families and students needing material and spiritual help were assisted. Sports activities was given importance to help young population find a place in the society and vocational courses with literacy courses for women were opened to bring women to the center of social life against conservative life and strong traditions of Mus province. |
