  • Dastan Genre in Central Asia
    DASTAN GENRE IN CENTRAL ASIA H.B. Paksoy, D. Phil. Let the scholars hear my wisdom Treating my word as a dastan, attain their desires. Ahmet Yesevi (d. 1167) Dastan (jir, ir, chorchok) is ornate oral history, common among the peoples of Central Asia. It conveys the revered and cherished value systems from one generation to the next over millennia. It is part of the permanent record of a people or a confederation. It lives on as a unifying charter in the consciousness of the people whose lives and exploits gave birth to it. It is the national anthem, birth certificate and literary heritage of its owners. It provides the framework to bond a coherent oymak, the ancestral unit, a division of a greater confederation. Members of the oymak share one language, religion and history. The name of the oymak serves as the surname of an individual (seen among those who fled the Bolsheviks in the 1920s and refugees fleeing Afghanistan after the Soviet invasion of 1979). The influence and authority of the dastan --as well as the reverence in which it is held-- are shown by Yesevi's quotation above. Even an influential sufi leader such as Ahmet Yesevi (from the city of Yese in Central Asia) saw the need to elevate his teachings to the level of a dastan. This reference by Yesevi points to the established tradition of keeping alive and disseminating important information through dastans. The dastan has also been used at various times to propagate religious ideas or doctrines, although the genre in its original form is not religious.

  • When Was the Ottoman State a Gazi State?
    Linda T. DARLING 13 REFORMULATING THE GAZI NARRATIVE: WHEN WAS THE OTTOMAN STATE A GAZI STATE? “ O nion or garlic?” was how Cemal Kafadar posed the problem of the nature of the early Ottoman state.1 Was it the product of a single impulse whose nature can be discovered if we peel away enough layers, or was it formed from competing impulses, all of which left traces in the sources? Lacking definitive contemporary information, scholars have debated the true nature of early Ottoman identity, and particularly the definition and role of gaza in it, for some time without closure. It is not enough to protest that we can no longer regard the early Ottomans as zealous warriors for the faith whose purpose was to offer to the infidel Islam or the sword. To banish the stereotypes, we also need a new nar- rative of early Ottoman history, one that although tentative can be used not just as a springboard by specialists but also as a framework for teach- ing and textbooks.
