"Tıp Öykücülüğü" Üzerine

Author(s): Hasan Erbay / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: Special/2017

Medicine is a discipline with its own rules and manner of operation. Literature is one of the dozens of kinds of art. The common point of both fields is that they touch human stories from within life. Human stories in the field of health are about the processes in which a person lives, may live or is able to live. With the definition of medical story, it is narrative which are written by medical staffs, especially physicians. Medical narratives are fictitious narratives connected with medical realities, interpreting the health environment from the perspective of a physician or health care provider. Such is the primary concern of the works in the literary concerns. The medical narratiation is a field with a limited number of examples in both Turkish literature and world literature. Due to the diversity of medical education models in recent years, there is a growing interest in the relationship of medicine with literature and social sciences. Both in terms of medical education and in the context of literary and medical literacy, “Medical Narratiation” as a product of “quest of beauty” is a new and distinctive area in Turkish literature.

"Verujem u Boga i u Sudnji dan" – Hayrun Yahya i savremena kontekstualizacija apokaliptičnih hadisa

Author(s): Marko Pišev / Language(s): Serbian / Issue: 1/2013

The motif of the apocalypse has fascinated mankind from the very beginnings of oral history and is present in various myths and religious traditions, finding its expression in the art of all time periods. Even today it hasn't lost its grip on human imagination. In modern Islamic contexts, the phenomenon of the apocalypse incorporates anti-western ideologies, which reflect, to a large extent the socio-cultural heritage of former anti-colonialist struggles, as well as the anti-imperialist attitudes which are present in a large number of contemporary Muslim societies. When paired with apocalyptic narratives, these notions can lead to negative essentializations of so-called "western morals and ethics", which are subsequently interpreted as a clear sign of the End times. Aside from the wider consideration of the symbolism of Islamic apocalyptic narratives, the paper will deal with a critical analysis of the visualizations of the Signs of the Last Day books by religious author Hayrun Yahya, who considers the topic of the apocalypse, as presented in the Koran and hadiths, in an affirmative light. We will attempt to puzzle out why the textual version of Signs utilizes certain quotes from the hadiths, while other, equally relevant quotes are avoided. We will rely on the so-called "interdiscursive" aspect of the enclosed quasi– documentary film, or rather, the heterogeneous elements which make up its audio-visual "text". This analysis should uncover the ideological notions behind this specific instrumentalization of scripture for the aim of religious, cultural and moral critique of contemporary (both Muslim and non-Muslim) societies; however, we will also attempt to point out the multifunctional idea – suggested to the viewing/reading audience of apocalyptic narratives – that Judgment day is near, and can come around at any moment.

"Westernization and Alienation of the State/Social Order": A Pseudo-Scientific Fairy-tale of Turkish Islamists

Author(s): Deniz Yoldas / Language(s): English / Issue: 9/2019

Idris Küçükömer (born 1925 in Giresun, dead 1987 in Istanbul) is a well-known Turkish academic, who tried to figure out the controversial character of the Left-wing movement in Turkey. His main book “The Alienation of the State/Social Order” (in Turkish: Batılılaşma ve Düzenin Yabancılaşması, Küçükömer, 2002) is the dissertation of his principal thesis about contemporary Turkey. Küçükömer is one of the academics/intellectuals who tried to figure out the principal „anomalies” of Turkey with his own perspectives. The controversial character of Kemalism and Left-wing movement of Turkey is the subject of Küçükömer’s works. He tried not only to break out the Kemalist discourse’s falsification but also to create a pseudo-scientific theoretical base for Islamist “Green Kemalist” narration. Küçükömer’s work about the nature of bureaucracy and its transformations between different social systems could be interesting for Post-Soviet countries academic circles. The contribution of the present review is that it brings a present-day perspective on Küçükömer views.

1940’larda Bir Moda Düşkünlüğünün Türk Edebiyatına Yansımaları: Bobstil Moda ve Bobstil Edebiyat

Author(s): İbrahim Özen / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 104/2020

Bobstyle is the term that represents the dandyish dressing style in the 1940s and those who adopt this dressing style. As a fashion cycle of the pervasion of cinema in Turkey, it emerged when young people in metropolitan cities imitated Hollywood actors in terms of clothing, attitude and behavior. The aim of this study is to define the distinctive features of the bobstyle fashion, to examine bobstyles with their roles in social life and their reflections on literature. The main sources of the study are literary texts and the editorial narration in the periodical publications of the period and the opinion columns about bobstyle fashion. As a result of the classification and analyses, firstly, the source of the bobstyle fashion, the accusations made over the snob type from the Tanzimat, the exterior appearance of the bobstyles and the emotional worlds were explained. Then, it is highlighted how bobstyle is manifested to literature in terms of both concept and type. The findings from the study revealed the effects of bobstyle from social life to literature. In the literature discussions in the 1940s, the poets who rejected the tradition and emerged with new works were called “bobstyle poet”, the strange welcoming poems were called “bobstyle poetry.” In fictional texts, two types of bobstyles were encountered. First is the bobstyle poets who are interested in art and who write poems that are devoid of meaning. Second is the young snob who has a degenerated nature with his physical appearance and inner word. The study will contribute to the history of literature in terms of highlighting the relationship between fashion and literature and determining the new look of the European snob type.

A New Historicist Approach to Orhan Pamuk's White Castle

Author(s): Gökçen Kara / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

New Historicism is a modern critical approach focused on the interpretation of literary and non-literary texts which belong to same historical period. Unlike previous historical criticism which limits itself to basically showing how a literary work reflects its time, New Historicism takes into consideration how the work is affected by the time it was produced. Set in İstanbul in the seventeenth century The White Castle is a historical novel which tells the story of an Ottoman scientist and a Venetian slave. At first glance, the novel seems to describe the relationship between these two people, but a careful examination shows that the novel offers an alternative history. This alternative history is quite different from the usual history, for example, the Sultan is not a powerful person, but rather a person with weaknesses. For example, pashas and Sultan depend on the pseudoscience and illogical dream analysis. In addition, the protagonist in the novel is not a Sultan or a person from the palace. In this context, it seems that the characters of the novel are very different from the characters we are used to reading in traditional historical novels. The novel is quite different from the traditional historical novels in terms of both narrative techniques and the characters.

For centuries pendname by our wise men; It has been translated, by adding some advice from them, that is, by expanding it, it has been transformed into a form that shows copyright-translation feature or has been annotated for better understanding. This work has brought very important works to our translation, copyright-translation and commentary literature. In the commentaries written for a better understanding of the Pendname, the differences of the udeban's own temperaments, understandings, beliefs and point of view on life are reflected in his works.

Alevi İnancında Can, Ruh Kavramı ve Nefsin Eğitimi

Author(s): İbrahim Gül / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 105/2021

The concepts spirit, soul and nafs have occupied the human mind for very many centuries. Despite the extensive literature devoted to them, the essence of these concepts has yet to be fully and thoroughly comprehended. The purpose of this study is to explore the concepts spirit, soul and nafs within the context of Islamic-Alevi faith and sources. To this end, a number of Alevi classics have been studied. In this respect, this article is based on literature review. It can be inferred from the findings of this study that spirit and soul are rather complex concepts, and that far too little information has been given to human beings in religious sources as to the essence and nature of these concepts. The words spirit and soul are often used interchangeably, and nafs refers to the unfavorable feelings human beings have that prompt them to commit errors, sins, and crimes. They can, however, resist the urges of the nafs by virtue of their reason and will. In other words, each and every person is capable of training his/her nafs, as taught thoroughly by Islamic mysticism. In the Alevi belief system, as in Islamic mysticism, a person who has completed all the stages of this training is said to have become the perfect human being (insan-ı kamil). Such a person’s soul never dies, even though his/her body may cease to exist. While exploring the concepts of spirit, soul, and nafs in Alevi classics, this study also draws a comparison between the way these concepts are perceived by the Alevis and those adhering to the Islamic-Sunni sects.

Bayramî-Melâmî Şeyhi Hüseyn-i Lâmekânî’nin Tevhide Dair Tenkit Edilen Bir Beytini Risalelerle Okuma Denemesi

Author(s): Oğuzhan Şahin / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 2/2020

Ṣūfī people, as well as the ulema (ʿulemā), discussed the issue of how God (Ḥaḳḳ) surrounds the universe (ʿālem) and where the ʿarş (arsh / the ninth heaven) in which God ensconces himself exists. The Ṣūfī people supporting the unity of existence (Wahdat al-wujud) concept claim that God surrounds the universe by his own being and so that the ʿarş (arsh) is all the creation / created beings by God moreover they argued that people who rejected this idea could attribute weakness or impotence to the power of God. On the other hand, commentators and scholastic theologians acknowledge the idea that God surrounds the universe not by his own being as Ṣūfīs claimed but God surrounds the universe by his knowledge (ʿilm) and power (ḳudret). They claimed that there was no physical connection of God with the universe. There-fore, this article discusses a couplet (beyit) written by Ḥuseyn-i Lāmekānī from Bayramī-Melāmī group in light of four different tracts (risāle). One of the four tracts was written by the author of the couplet Ḥuseyn-i Lāmekānī himself. The title of his tract is Wahdat-nameh (Vaḥdet-nāme). The other tract was written by Munīrī-yi Belgradī and the title of it is Şarḥ-i Qaṣīda-i Suleymān. The other two tracts analyzed in this article were written by Ṣalāḥ al-dīn-i ʿUşşāḳī. These two tracts try to explain how God surrounds the universe from the unity of existence (Wahdat al-wujud) perspective. Therefore, they may help in understanding the mentioned couplet written by Lāmekānī. The outline of the article is as follows: the introduction has the text of the ghazal including the mentioned couplet and discusses how the characteristics of Bayramī-Melāmī people were reflected in their poems. This part also tries to determine who wrote the mentioned ghazal as there were two different pen manes / pseudonyms (mah-las) for the same ghazal in various resources. To determine the original writer of the ghazal is crucial for proper interpretation of the texts. The next part of the article discusses the accusation that Lāmekānī was an heretic in the Şarḥ-i Qaṣīda-i Suleymān tract by Munīrī-yi Belgradī. This part also tries to outline Munīrī-yi Belgradī’s mode of thought to discuss the background of his criticism about the couplets. According to his way of thinking, though Munīrī had some tolerance to Ṣūfī people believing fenā fillāh, he ironically harshly criticized the Ṣūfī group supporting Wahdat al-wujud entitled as Fuṣūṣī. In the second section, based on his work named Wahdat-nameh (Vaḥdet-nāme), it is aimed to create a general portrait of Ḥuseyn-i Lāmekānī. In this context, it discusses how Wahdat al-wujud and Hurufism, which are generally big issues for Bayramī-Melāmī, influenced Lāmekānī. Therefore, the comparison between Oglan Sheikh İsmāʿil-i Maʿşūḳī who was clearly influenced by Wahdat al-mavjud (vaḥdet-i mevcūd) and Hurufism, and Ḥuseyn-i Lāmekānī is realized in this part. It was figured out that adoration of Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikem (Fuṣūṣīlik) was more influential in Bayramī-Melāmī Sheikh’s mode of thinking through the analysis of the effect of Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikem in Wahdat-nameh (Vaḥdet-nāme). It was suggested that the reason behind the allocation of Munīrī-yi Belgradī for Ḥuseyn-i Lāmekānī was the effect of Fuṣūṣ al-Ḥikem which was salient for Melāmī Sheikh Lāmekānī. The final part of the article is about two tracts Miftāḥ al-vucūd and Zayl al-kitāb written by Ṣalāḥ al-dīn-i ʿUşşāḳī. The criticized couplet was read under the light of these tracts. These two tracts are significant as they explain how God surrounds the universe and where the ʿarş (arsh) is located by referring to the verses of Quran al-Fussilet 41/54, al-Nisā 4/126 and el-Tāhā 20/5 mentio-ned in the couplet by Ḥuseyn-i Lāmekānī. Ṣalāḥ al-dīn-i ʿUşşāḳī proposed a new argument about how God surrounds the universe in Zayl al-kitāb. According to this argument, in Miftāḥ al-vucūd Ṣalāḥ al-dīn-i ʿUşşāḳī tries to explain God’s surrounding potent through the or-ders/grades of the existence. In Zayl al-kitāb, he claims that there must be a center for God’s surroundings of the universe and this center must be Ḥaḳīḳat al-Muḥammediyye. Ṣalāḥ al-dīn-i ʿUşşāḳī stated that he did not acknowledge this information by himself but he acquired it from Ibn Arabī when he had a dream. Lastly, this part of the article discusses what Rahman settles in ʿarş (arsh) means in terms of circle (devir) theory. It was suggested that according to Ṣūfī people believing Wahdat (vaḥdetçi) God’s ʿarş (arsh) is the human being himself by drawing on the Kasf al-Gıtā (Keşfu’l-Gıtā) qasida written by Sunʿullāh-ı Gaybī who was a successor of Ḥuseyn-i Lāmekānī from the second generation.

Bir Tarihî Vesika: Ali İlhami Dede’nin Bilinmeyen Divanı

Author(s): Atiye Nazlı / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 105/2021

There is very few information in the sources about Ali İlhami Dede, the last postnishin (Mawlavi sheikh) who grew up in the Alevi Bektashi order. His poems are included in several books, while his poems collected by his grandson have been published as a diwan, including the place where his lodge is located and its historical development, especially the environment where he lived in the early 20th century. Apart from the information about the life of Ali İlhami Dede between the lines, the name range of the grandparents and fathers who managed the lodge since the 10th century is very important. In the work in which the place where Battal Gazi is buried in historical sources, his bond with Danişment Gazi, the ties of the Seljuk Khans and Ottoman Sultans with the lodge, the maintenance and repairs they have done are explained in detail, transferring the inscriptions found in the tombs to the court is also important in terms of extracting the Alevi Bektashi lineage. There are 49 poems of Ali İlhami Dede in the Divan. While these poems are seen as four, five and six lines, at the same time, they are written with both syllabic meter and aruz prosody, which is an indication that he knows all the features of Turkish poetry. The subjects of the poems are the love of Hazrat Allah, Hazrat Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh), Hazrat Ali, Hazrat Hasan and Hüseyin, the twelve imams, Karbala, Battal Gazi, Haci Bektashi Veli, and also the beauties of nature, the sect rules, love and the mortality of the world. Ali İlhami Dede used the pen names İlhami, İlhami Abdal, İlhami derviş, İlhami Fakir, Garip İlhami in his poems. In our study, the connection of the Alevi Bektashi sect with Battal Gazi, which is on the council of Ali İlhami Dede, and the subjects and introduction of his poems are included.

BİREYSEL DUYARLILIKTAN KOLEKTİF DİSİPLİNE: MEHMET RAUF’UN HALASROMANI VE TÜRK MİLLİYETÇİSİ NİHAT

Author(s): Canan OLPAK KOÇ / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 16/2020

Mehmet Rauf (1875-1931) is a writer in Turkish literature whose name is best known for his novel, Eylül. However, he is considered one of the most important representatives of the prose of Servet-i Fünun period after Halit Ziya. The author generally wrote works that included types of love, frustrations, and male-female problems. In his first works, he does not worry about the disrupted aspects of society. However, the writer's literary understanding changes with his latest novels, Halas and Define. The author has designed his work to strengthen national awareness and resistance within the framework of another character by focusing on the love of homeland as a theme in Halas. For this reason, it is among the novels describing the national struggle in Turkish literature. In this study, a brief information about the author’s writing has been made and “Halas” has been examined in the context of Turkism from the idea movements.

BİRİNCİ DÜNYA SAVAŞI DÖNEMİNDE YAYINLANAN TÜRK ROMANLARININ TEMATİK HARİTASI

Author(s): Nusret Yılmaz / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 48/2020

History and novel have similar concerns as the experience of dealing with and writing about social events in which man is his subject. The construction of history as stories of important events and people since ancient times has kept these two acts of writing close. The words "story" of the English word "history", which come from the same root, are a concrete indicator of this closeness. The fact that people's individual and social life styles, their struggles in the historical process, and all their actions that made it come into being, are being recorded and transmitted to next generations as concrete evidence of collective memory has forced the world of history and literature to operate on common grounds. It is doubtless that the First World War, one of the most important socio-political experiences of Turkish history, deserves literary as well as historical attention in this context. This study is intended to affect our social history and how it is seen by the Ottoman Empire in locating the authors of the war period to leave the Republic of Turkey creates conditions. The novels of the authors who wrote during the war years are analyzed with close readings made on individual, social and political themes. Novels in this period have the potential to disappoint readers who believe in the relationship of literature with society because based on the twenty-nine novels examined, the war in question is not mentioned in the works written during the war years. It is quite interesting that no hero of a novel mentions this war and the authors are more interested in the themes of the Servet-i Fünûn period, even though it is considered reasonable that the events that deeply affect societies did not immediately reflect on literature and especially in the novel. The purpose of this study is to examine the possible reasons for this interesting situation in the thematic plane of the novels.

The Uyghur folk dastan is particularly good at breaking through the obstacles of reality through the construction of dream images and the description of dreams, displaying his ideal world, and realizing his emotional transcendence.
