That humanist and universalistic base was indicated beautifully by Rumi in mid-13th century with such lines as: LATIF BOLAT • OCTOBER 20, 2017 PROGRAM NOTES Not Christian or Jew or Muslim, not Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi, or Zen. Not any religion or cultural system… I belong to the beloved, have seen the two worlds as one and that one call to and know, first, last, outer, inner, only that breath breathing human being. Tonight’s program of Turkish devotional music is a result of trying to learn from the original masters of Turkish Mysticism. Anatolian culture is a true fusion of many beautiful peoples since the time of Sumerians. In that mystical piece of land, Hittite, Greek, Armenian, Urartian, Arab, Kurdish, Jewish, Zoroastrian, Islamic, Christian, Turkish and many other incredible cultures blended so beautifully and created something truly unique; the culture of Anatolia. This program tries to reflect the devotional and mystical aspect of the Anatolian culture, accumulated over thousands of years. The deep quality of devotion in these songs is the direct result of this beautiful blend of such devotional and dedicated people. So Ashk Olsun to all who came and went on this land and left this wonderful culture to the people of the entire world. ABOUT THE PERFORMER Latif Bolat is a Turkish singer, composer and scholar of Turkish culture. One of the most well-known Turkish musicians in the US, his mesmerizing performances draw on ancient texts and employ traditional instrumentation such as the saz (long necked lute.) Now partially residing in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Mersin, Turkey, Mr. Bolat has presented his music all across America, Canada, Australia, Sweden, India, New Zealand, Ireland, Indonesia, Singapore, Bulgaria, Spain, Turkey, Philippines and England. In addition to the concerts and lectures around the world, he has recorded four very successful CDs, made many TV and radio appearances and composed music for the PBS Documentary Muhammed: Legacy of a Prophet and George Lucas’s TV series Young Indiana Jones. With poet Jennifer Ferraro, he translated a compilation of ancient Turkish Sufi poets, entitled Quarreling with God: Mystic Rebel Poems of the Dervishes of Turkey, which was published in September 2006 by White Cloud Press. Tonight’s performance is co-sponsored by the Islamic World Studies Department and the School of Music.

  • Yunus Emre (Ca. 1238 - 1320)
    Yunus Emre (ca. 1238 - 1320) There is a strong challenge inherent in any attempt to describe a great and influential personality like Yunus Emre in a condensed form such as this. We will, therefore only make an attempt to give an introduction to the man and his philosophy which will tempt you into further reading. Wherever possible we will allow Yunus to speak for himself. Mystic is what they call me, Hate is my only enemy; I harbor a grudge against none, To me the whole wide world is one. Yunus Emre was a great folk poet, a sufi (Islamic mystic), a troubadour and a very influential philosopher who had an effect on the Turkish outlook on life that has stayed alive and vital for 700 years. Above all, and in an age of religious repression, he was a humanist who’s love for God was integral to his love for humanity. His abhorrence for conflict and his dismissive attitude to riches and material assets have been echoed through the ages, not least in the ’flower power’ era of the 1960s and 70s. I am not here on earth for strife Love is the mission of my life. Yunus Emre was more concerned with the reason for living than with the details of how life should be lived. Essentially he thought that people should live modest lives filled with love and friendship, aspiring towards spiritual purity and an indivisible unity with God. He despised the pursuit of fame and riches because none of these could mean anything after death. Death is a recurring theme in his poetry but without morbid overtones.

  • Turkish Literature from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Turkish Literature
    Turkish literature From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Turkish literature By category Epic tradition Orhon Dede Korkut Köroğlu Folk tradition Folk literature Folklore Ottoman era Poetry Prose Republican era Poetry Prose V T E A page from the Dîvân-ı Fuzûlî, the collected poems of the 16th-century Azerbaijanipoet Fuzûlî. Turkish literature (Turkish: Türk edebiyatı or Türk yazını) comprises both oral compositions and written texts in the Turkish language, either in its Ottoman form or in less exclusively literary forms, such as that spoken in the Republic of Turkey today. The Ottoman Turkish language, which forms the basis of much of the written corpus, was influenced by Persian and Arabic and used the Ottoman Turkish alphabet. The history of the broader Turkic literature spans a period of nearly 1,300 years. The oldest extant records of written Turkic are the Orhon inscriptions, found in the Orhon River valley in central Mongolia and dating to the 7th century. Subsequent to this period, between the 9th and 11th centuries, there arose among the nomadic Turkic peoples of Central Asia a tradition of oral epics, such as the Book of Dede Korkut of the Oghuz Turks—the linguistic and cultural ancestors of the modern Turkish people—and the Manas epic of the Kyrgyz people. Beginning with the victory of the Seljuks at the Battle of Manzikert in the late 11th century, the Oghuz Turks began to settle in Anatolia, and in addition to the earlier oral traditions there arose a written literary tradition issuing largely—in terms of themes, genres, and styles— from Arabic and Persian literature.

They take a human-centered religion and worldview as their main ¹Akdeniz University, Antalya, point of departure. In their humanistic approach, Islam has Turkey been adapted to Anatolian Turkish culture. Because Turkish Sufism is the practical view of Turkish philosophy in Anatolia. ²Sakarya University, Serdivan, In addition, every Turkish philosopher has taken a philosopher, a philosophical system or a gnostic view from the ancient times Turkey and the Islamic world as a guide. From Ahmed Yesevi to Otman Baba, the Turkish Sufism tradition combined and reinterpreted Islam with all cultures that lived in Anatolia, creating a Turkish-style world view. It is imperative Author-correspondent: to understand this four-hundred-year period in shaping the Ş.Filiz, [email protected] way the Turks view people, life and existence. Turkish Sufism is also the proof of the fact why the history of the Turks should be based on centuries before Islam, when viewed from the perspective of philosophy of history. Thus, historically, culturally and religiously, Turkish Sufism, Islam that started with Farabi, refers to an original Renaissance, not a transition period between the Western Renaissance that started in Italy three years later.

Edebî bir tür olan roman ise gerçeğe değil “kurmaca”ya dayanır. Biyografiye dayalı kurmaca, yani kurmaca ile gerçeğin birlikteliği ise biyografik roman türünü ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu türün, son yıllarda hem Batı edebiyatında hem de Türk edebiyatında birçok örneğine rastlanır. Roman yazarı, son dönemde Yûnus Emre’nin yaşam hikâyesini konu alan birçok biyografik romanı okuyucuyla buluşturmayı başardı. Bu çalışmadaki amaç, Türk edebiyatında biyografik roman konusunu ve Yûnus Emre’nin hayatını konu alan biyografik romanlarının yapı ve anlatım özelliklerini, kurgularını incelemektir. Çalışma beş bölümden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmanın “Giriş” kısmında, Yûnus Emre’nin hayatı, eserleri, Yûnus’un menakıbı, Türk romanında Yûnus Emre incelendikten sonra, birinci bölümde roman nedir?

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 2 Abstract The thesis explores the ideological aspect of modern Turkish love poetry by focusing on the works of major poets and movements between 1923 and 1980. The approach to the theme of love was metaphorical and mystical in classical Ottoman poetry. During the period of modernisation (1839-1923), poets either rejected the theme of love altogether or abandoned Islamic aesthetics and adopted a Parnassian approach arguing that love was the expression of desire for physical beauty. A great variety of discourses on love developed during the republican period. Yahya Kemal sets the theme of love in Ottoman Istanbul and mourns the end of the relationship with the beloved who incarnates his conservative vision of national identity.
