ПРОБЛЕМАТИКА ТУРЕЦКОЙ ЖЕНСКОЙ ПРОЗЫ НАЧАЛА XXI ВЕКА: ГЕНДЕРНЫЙ АСПЕКТ

Author(s): Lidia Vladislavovna Sofronova / Language(s): Russian Issue: 1/2016

Seven novels written by four Turkish female writers in the last ten years are under consideration. The main task is to find out the common in problematics, literary techniques associated with the specifics of gender perception in the Turkish female novel. The painful transformation process of the traditionalist views on gender roles in the family and society under the pressure of new norms and standards of the globalized world is in the focus of female authors. The gender approach to the analysis of Turkish literary works appeared with the author’s awareness of her feminine essence, as opposed to the masculine point of view dominating in the life and literature. The previously taboo topics started being discussed due to the process of women writers’ self-identification The literary heroine is represented as a so-called “traumatic subject”. The theme of violence against a girl, woman caused by a man, her parents, and relatives permeates the narrative. The main conflicts of novels concern parents’ relationship, as well as mother-daughter and father-daughter relationships. The method of “autobiographical confession” dominates in modern women’s writing. The critical feminine look at the private and social life of parents, blaming them for the unsuccessfulness of their children in their future adult life are new for the Turkish female novel. The chronotope of these novels is characterized by a wide geographical coverage and non-linearity of time, sometimes its cyclicality. The discontinuity of time is provided by the character’s associative reminiscences (also through the inclusion of old letters and diaries in the narrative) which interrupt the time sequence.

Author(s): Kenan Güzel / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 25/2015

It is known that the real source of Turkish dramaturgy inspired from religious – based theatric ceremonies of Turks. But western-type theater was introduced with our culture with the Rescript of Gülhane (Tanzimat) which is considered as the officially end of Ottoman Empire.

The word of “dramaturge” got into Turkish literature history after the establishment of “Theater Committee” in 1873 consisting of Turkish writers.

KAZILIK KOCA OĞLU YEGENEK BOYU ÜZERİNE HERMENEUTİK BİR TAHLİL DENEMESİ

Author(s): Fatih Keskin / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 43/2023

The main theme of the Epic of Yegenek Son of Kazılık Koca, which is jointly included in the Dresden and Vatican copies of the Book of Dede Korkut, is the struggle of the hero to set his captive father from captivity. The behavior of Yegenek, who is the hero of the narrative, is different from that of his father, Kazılık Koca, his uncle Emen, and the twenty-four Oğuz Lords he took with him as fellow travelers. Reinforcing his physical and military power with positive values such as a strategic mind, unity consciousness, trust, and belief, Yegenek succeeded at what other Oghuz lords had failed to achieve and defeated Direk Tekür, son of Arşın. Thus, Yegenek stands out as the representative of a new hero type that brings together the previous generation of heroes within the framework of their own fighting methods. In addition, Yegenek's struggle contains intense references in terms of psychoanalysis and archetypal symbolism, as it bears the signs of the conflicts experienced by the individual in the process of existence. The aim of this study is to reveal the semantic world of The Epic of Yegenek, son of Kazılık Koca, based on the explicit and implicit references in the text. Therefore, in this study, Yegenek's adventure is subjected to an interdisciplinary hermeneutic reading process by making use of the data of the fields of study such as psychology, theology, and archetypal symbolism, as well as the literature, narrative, and folklore. Yegenek's struggle is considered as a part of Oğuz's collective existence struggle within the scope of the study; on the other hand, it is evaluated as the process of discovering the unconscious area of the individual and confronting the negative features that were previously attempted to be pushed into this area by the consciousness. In addition, the dream that Yegenek saw on his way to Düzmurd Castle, and which constitutes a secondary plane of reality in the narrative, is considered as one of the important stages of his initiation and reaching psychic integrity, and is examined within this framework.

Muhammed İkbal’in Hitâb Be Câvîd İle Mehmet Akif’in Asım Adlı Eserlerinden Hareketle Gençlere Nasihatleri

Author(s): Adnan Şimşek / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 2/2024

Mehmet Akif Ersoy and Muhammad Iqbal are two Muslim poets who lived at the same time but in different geographies. Mehmet Akif Ersoy died in 1936 and Muhammad Iqbal died in 1938. Both of them are like-minded intellectuals who share the same anguish for the future of society. These two poets, whose hearts were on fire with the love of independence and freedom, were also the interpreters of enthusiastic souls and hearts full of faith. Another common feature of these two poets is the importance they attach to youth. Iqbal tries to be a guide for the youth in the person of his son Javid in the address entitled Hitâb be Jâvîd, which was published at the end of his work Cavidname. Hitāb be Jāwīd is a detached work of 136 couplets written in the genre of nasihatname. It is a work that is a continuation of the culture of advice, which is known with names such as siyasetname, hikmet, pendname, vasiyetname and ibretname in classical poetry tradition. Similarly, in his poem Asım in the sixth volume of Safahat, Akif endeavours to guide the young generation in the person of Asım. Asım, which is an independent poem, is a verse story written in the form of mesnevi verse. In this study, Iqbal and Akif's advice to the young generation is discussed comparatively based on their works Hitâb be Câvîd and Asım. Although the geographies they lived in were different, Akif and Iqbal, who were members of the same civilisation, generally expressed the same views. Iqbal adopted the style of classical poetry, presented his advice in this direction and drew a path based on individual values education. Akif, on the other hand, although classical in form, adopted a modern way in terms of style and method, saw the individual as a part of society and considered values education as a social-centred development.

KLASİK TÜRK ŞAİRLERİNDE “MELÂMET GİYSİSİ”

Author(s): Kamile ÇETİN / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 23/2024

Melamet has been a doctrine that primarily embraces purifying the soul and self-condemning by disclosing one's evil deeds and concealing virtuous actions, and attaining Allah's approval in a state of purity and righteousness. Customary practices, which included ostentatious attire and engaging in some dhikrs and rituals, were disregarded as unimportant. Melamiism has become the name of an entirely simple cognition and lifestyle, distanced from all kinds of worldly pomp. Adopting this understanding, the journey that the Melamis started in Khorasan has extended to almost every facet of society. In this context, Classical Turkish poetry, which benefits from many materials about life, has also been enriched. The fact that Sufism was one of the most important sources from which the mentioned poetry tradition was nourished was also effective. The poets, like other adherents of Sufism, internalized the principles of Malamatism despite not being Melamis, and widely benefited from its terminology. Eventually, they developed personal knowledge based on Sufism and the Sufi material of the literary tradition based on the principles of Melamism, associated Malamatism with certain clothes and accessories. Consequently, rint and minstrel poets abandoned all forms of ostentation when the transition from worldly comfort to Melamet, and only wore clothes associated with Melamet. Individuals who wore such clothes were able to endure being stoned by others, being subjected to arrows of condemnation, and all kinds of difficulties, and they purified their souls from the ostentation of worldly attire. As a result of searching aba, robes, delk, shirt, cardigan, hil’at, kisvet, libâs, nemed, shawl, tac, ton were determined as the elements associated with the concept of Melamet in divans. In the article, these concepts were analyzed with Melamet principles. It was revealed which types of interests was related to each aforementioned clothing element and associated with Melamet discussed in the couplets.

Osmanlıdan Cumhuriyet’e Kadın Romancıların ve Kadın Figürlerin Dönüşümü

Author(s): Türkân Yeşilyurt / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 119/2024

This article reveals that Ottoman women novelists, who were part of the women’s movement, left an important legacy to the Republic, but that women entered the path of real emancipation with the Republican revolutions, in the context of three novels. These are Fatma Aliye’s Hayal ve Hakikat, Halide Edip’s Vurun Kahpeye and Erendiz Atasü’s Dağın Öteki Yüzü. Fatma Aliye’s first novel is Hayal ve Hakikat, which she wrote with Ahmet Mithat. However, while Ahmet Mithat could put his own name to the novel, Fatma Aliye had to sign her name as “Bir Kadın”. In her novels, Halide Edip draws portraits of literary women who do not refrain from sacrifice for their nation, just as she plays social roles in her life. Aliye, the example of the ideal woman in Vurun Kahpeye, not only tries to enlighten her students despite all the problems of the countryside arising from ignorance and bigotry, but also does not refrain from sacrificing herself for her nation. With the achievements of the Republic, especially middle-class urban women find the opportunity to realise themselves in many fields and come to the forefront in literature. However, they belatedly realise that citizenship is necessary but not sufficient on the road to freedom. Since the culture of democracy has not developed, political powers hinder the individualisation of women. For this reason, the questioning of patriarchal mentality is realised late in literature. Even though it is late, the situation of women in the patriarchal order is questioned by women writers who were formed in the Republican revolutions. Erendiz Atasü, one of these writers, reveals the process of women’s emancipation in Dağın Öteki Yüzü.

ПРОЗНОТО ТВОРЕШТВО НА НЕЏАТИ ЗЕКЕРИЈА (1928 1988)

Author(s): Mahmut Çelik,Ivana Koteva / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 5/2023

Nexati Zekeriya is one of the founders, especially of children's poetry and prose in the Turkish language in the Republic of North Macedonia. However, his exceptional contribution to the publishing of children's magazines (Sevinch and Tomurdzuk), of which he was the main and responsible editor from the foundation, and remained during the years when the first books for children in the Turkish language were published in the Republic of Macedonia, is also significant. In addition, Nexati Zekeriya is also significant for the affirmation of the Turkish literature and culture of the Republic of North Macedonia outside the borders of Macedonia, and above all in the former Yugoslav territories and in the Republic of Turkey. His book of short stories "Children from our street" represented the first serious breakthrough in the work of Turkish writers in the Republic of North Macedonia, not only in the Yugoslav territories, but also in the Balkans and beyond. Nexati Zekeriya's contribution to the affirmation of Macedonian poetry in the Republic of Turkey deserves special attention, and his translations of the poetry of Kocho Racin and Blaze Koneski were especially noticed. However, the place of Nexati in the field of short stories for children in the Turkish language in the Republic of North Macedonia is of exceptional importance.

Author(s): Refide Shaini / Language(s): Macedonian Issue: 5/2023

Although Turkish children’s literature in Macedonia starts with poetry, other literary genres like stories, children's plays, lullabies etc. are seen in the following years. However, the writers weren’t very successful in writing novels, despite all their efforts. Tomurcuk is a children’s journal which was published between 1957 and 2004 in Skopje. Although it was published as Sevinç and Tomurcuk for a while, then it came out as a single journal. The content of the journal which was addressed to primary school children consists of stories, comics, poems, essays, crossword puzzles etc. most of which were about the history, manners, customs, traditions and culture of Macedonian Turks. The primary objective for this was to raise awareness in the children on their own culture and their values. Besides its significant place in Macedonia Turkish children’s literature in terms of content, form and diversity of the writers, Tomurcuk also plays an effective and active role in regards to the targeted values to be taught. The main aim of this study is to establish the distinct values found in 33 issues of Tomurcuk Journals published between 1957 and 1990 to evaluate these values form the point of view of children’s literature.

ABDÜLFETTAH RAUF’UN ŞİİRLERİNDE VATAN SANCISI - ÜSKÜP

Author(s): Seyhan Murtezan Ibrahimi / Language(s): Albanian Issue: 5/2023

Along with the literature that developed in the Balkans in every different period of history, poetry has dealt with and revealed the lives of nations stuck in limbo with all its vivid examples. Although poetry, as a literary genre, is written for aesthetic purposes, one of its main purposes is to describe the period of which it is a product and to make the poets' cries felt. With the withdrawal of the Ottoman Empire from the Balkans, poetry left a great impact on the thought world of Turkish poets who remained beyond the Ottoman-Turkish border, and became the interpreter of their feelings, on issues such as lost land, religion, homeland, identity, existence. In our study, we will discuss the reflection of the concerns of the poet Abdülfettah Rauf, who was born in Skopje in 1910, in his poems, in which he treats revenge as a grieving conscience. The poet witnessed the periods when the most important political balances changed on the world history stage. Born in the last days of the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans, it was born during the First Balkan War and the Second World War. He was a child in the period when the magnificent civilization retreated after the Balkan War, and he fought in World War I and World War II until his death (1967). He lived and suffered deeply during the World War and Yugoslavia periods. Abdülfettah Rauf wrote his poems during the years that we can consider as a dark period in the historical development of Macedonian Turkish literature. When we look at his poems that have come to light in recent years, the subjects he is most concerned about are 'homeland'. In our analysis, we will discuss the problem of homeland that he puts on Skopje in his poems Yurdumda Ben ve Bende Yurdum, Şehîde-i Şedâ’id-i Üskübüm İçin, Vefâsız Yurda İlânı Nefret through the cities. With a comparative method, the influence of Yahya Kemal Beyatlı on these poems of Abdulfettah Rauf will be emphasized.

Sözü Güzelleştiren Sanatlardan Mukabele Sanatının İncelenmesi: Kur’ân-ı Kerim Örneği

Author(s): Halil İbrahim Kocabiyik,Sebahat Çakir / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 34/2024

Mukabele is one of the figures of speech that beautify the meaning, which is also mentioned as equivalent in the science of bedi'. The source of beauty in the metaphor, which is defined as bringing two or more meanings together and then mentioning the opposite or related meanings of each one respectively, is the syntax harmony between the opposing or compatible meanings. Although it is an independent art of painting, it is seen that it is not discussed under a separate title in rhetoric books. In this study, the definition of mukabele, its classification, and the difference between it and tıbâk/contrast will be discussed and evaluations will be made by giving some examples from the verses of the Holy Quran and the poems of important poets of Turkish literature. We will examine the art of mukabele in terms of the arrangement of words, in the form of compound mukabela and non-composed mukabele, and division based on numbers (two with two, three with three, four with four, five with five, six with six). Our aim is to contribute to a clearer understanding of the nature of response.

Mecelle’nin Külli Kaidelerinde Yapılan Söz Sanatları ve Bunların Yeni Külli Kaide Yazımındaki Örnekliği

Author(s): Hatice Keskin,Sead Ibrić / Language(s): Turkish Issue: 35/2024

The Majallah is of great importance not only because it is the first legal text about Islamic law but also because it is a product of historical significance for Turkish literature. Particularly, the 99 general principles at the beginning of the Majallah are an abstract representation of many issues in Islamic law, expressed through various rhetorical devices. Although the Majallah, one of the rare texts where the relationship between law and literature can be evaluated, has been expressed by different authors to have employed various rhetorical devices in its general principles, no study analyzing them has been encountered. This study aims to identify the rhetorical devices used in the general principles, thereby creating a perspective on which rhetorical devices can be applied in the writing of general principles that will be easily memorized like proverbs, and become part of the vernacular. For this purpose, data was collected using the document review method, and the content analysis method from qualitative research methods was applied. The 99 general principles and the rhetorical devices in Turkish literature were examined together, matching the principles with the relevant rhetorical devices and categorizing them. As a result of the research, 9 different rhetorical devices found in the general principles were identified. Suggestions have been made on which types of legal principles these arts were used in the production and which arts could be utilized in which legal situations in the writing of general principles hereafter.

Psihoanalitički pristup pripovijetkama Vlasnica kuće, Ljetna noć i Putovanje vozom Ahmeta Hamdija Tanpinara

Author(s): Melinda Botalić,Nadira Žunić / Language(s): Bosnian Issue: 25/2024

The paper deals with the psychoanalytical approach to dreams and the unconscious in three short stories by the Turkish author Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar. Insight into the nature of the human psyche and language as a medium of expression will be based on the works of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. The psychoanalytical literature that we will use in this research will represent the fundamental theoretical basis on which we will try to valorize the above-mentioned stories. As part of the reading of the short stories The Owner of The House, Summer Night and Train Journey by the Turkish author Ahmed Hamdi Tanpınar, the emphasis will be on elements such as time, the past, dreams, the unconscious, the other or the personal history of the characters about the world they build within themselves. The identity crises experienced by the protagonists of the analyzed stories have their roots in childhood traumas, and dreams represent the key to uncovering the unconscious. By applying Freud's psychoanalysis to the text, they tried to reveal the symptoms of the text and the unconscious mechanisms whose meaning is hidden in images, symbols, and metaphors. In his short stories, we find the story of the collapse of the inner world of the hero, of their escape from reality and continuous search, while the subject(s) of the text itself is constructed through its past, or more precisely, it is defined by a complex of events and people from the past.
