Conceptualizing this feature as “heterodoxy,” earlier Turkish scholarship sought the roots of Alevi religiosity in Turkish traditions which traced back to Central Asia, on the one hand, and in medieval Anatolian Sufi orders such as the Yasawi, Bektashi, Qalandari, and Wafaʾi, on the other. A new line of scholarship has critiqued the earlier conceptualization of Alevis as “heterodox” as well as the assumption of Central Asian connections. -
Alevi - Bektashi Belief in Balkans: a Historical Legacy
Alevi - Bektashi Belief in Balkans: A Historical Legacy Didem DOGANYILMAZ DUMAN e-mail: [email protected] Abstract With increased immigration, Islam has become a considerable element affecting the relatively homogeneous religious structure of Europe. However, for the Balkan region, instead of immigration flows, historical legacy possessed an important role with respect to Islamic characteristic. With the rise of the Ottoman Empire, Islam spread to the Balkans with significant Alevi-Bektashi characteristics due to the important role of Janissaries who were associated with the Dervish Lodge of Haji Bektash Veli in Ottoman political and military structures. Therefore, it would not be wrong to claim that Alevi-Bektashi belief had pivotal role in the composition of the religious heritage of Islam in the Balkans; although, it is generally linked with Anatolian region. Today, this belief is being protected as one of the contributors to the historical legacy of religious diversity with functioning dervish lodges and shrines, or gatherings around ruins. This paper will examine the history and the role of Alevi- Bektashi belief within Islamic faith in and its reflections to Muslim societies of the Balkans in order to understand the contribution of this syncretic belief to religious diversity in Europe as a historical legacy. Keywords: Alevism, Bektashism, Balkans, Islam. Didem DOGANYILMAZ DUMAN Introduction Religion has always become an important component of life not only on the individual level but also in society as a whole. It will not be wrong to claim that belief in a creator or none form significant part of identity of a certain society. Christianity has had predominance over cultural, sociological, political and even in architectural structures in Europe. -

The mystical practices and rituals of theInteraction Bektashi order were systematized and structured by Balım Sultan in the 16th century after which many of the order's distinct practices and beliefs took shape.

Between Middle Eastern Heterodoxy, Indigenization and Modern Shi'ism: Competing Identities Among the Balkan Alevi and Bektashi Communities in the Post-Ottoman Period
Between Middle Eastern Heterodoxy, Indigenization and Modern Shi'ism: Competing Identities among the Balkan Alevi and Bektashi Communities in the Post-Ottoman Period Yuri Stoyanov The post-Ottoman evolution, interchange and occasional contrariety between traditional (and/or inherited) and ascribed (in the modern period) Alevi and Bektashi identities in the Balkans is part of the larger process of the transformation, reform and ever-changing politics of identity of heterodox religious communities in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East following the fragmentation and disestablishment of the Ottoman empire after World War 1. The phenomenon of the ongoing characteristic revival and re-conceptualizations of Alevism in Turkey and the Alevi diaspora in Western Europe since the late 1980s and their diverse religious, cultural and social manifestations has been explored by historians, political scientists, theologians, anthropologists, sociologists, ethnomusicologists and so on, and their respective perspectives and methodologies, with some of the research coming from within the Alevi community. This rediscovery of Anatolian Alevism (Alevilik) in the scholarly and public sphere has not been accompanied (with few exceptions) by a similarly pronounced interest (or comparable publications output) in the contemporaneous, if often differing processes among the existing ethno-religious Alevi groups in the Balkans and the (variously related to them) surviving or revived regional networks and lodges of the Bektashi dervish order. Hence the purpose of this article is to draw attention to these processes and the promising vistas for future research they offer.1 The fact that many of the Balkan Alevi and Bektashi groups have remained little-known, 'barely researched'2 communities is certainly regrettable. -

Upper Hunza, known locally as Gojal, is a part of Badakhshan located in the Karakoram Mountains in Pakistan. The Wakhis belong to the Eastern Iranian language group like all the other nations of Badakhshan. This is why we have to consider the Wakhis living in Gojal in the scope of the Central Asian cultural circle, just like the Wakhis of Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Eastern Turkestan of China. Part of their identity stems from the Wakhi culture and the other part from the Dawat-i Nâsir tradition which can be defined as the Central Asian interpretation of Ismailism. The peoples of Upper Hunza have been named according to their belief system as Nâsiri, Panjtani, Mawlavi or Agha Khani. However the name they acknowledge and use is Dawat-i Nâsir, stemming from Nâsir-i Khusraw. -
The Saz As a Mode of Understanding Alevism
INVITED SUBMISSION - SPECIAL ISSUE | PEER REVIEWED The Saz as a Mode of Understanding Alevism Iris Sibel Muradoglu 1 * 1 University of Leuven, Belgium *[email protected] Received: 24 May 2017 ; Accepted: 29 September 2017 ; Published: 1 November 2017 Editor: Michael Viega Reviewer: Theresa Merrill Abstract An attempt to give insight into who Alevis are and what Alevism is, only further demonstrates the complexities that arise in doing so. However, this ambiguity is es- sential to discuss in terms of what this paper seeks to answer and that is: How can we comprehend the complexities of Alevism, using music and the saz as a mode of understanding that does not further reduce them to just representations of folklore? For those who identify as Alevis, music, and in particular the saz, play a central role in this formation of identity. Alevis in their religious rituals use music and dance, and thus their practices oppose that of a Sunni-majority Turkey. In this sense, when it comes to incorporating music in their religious traditions, the Turkish state under- mines and therefore considers them illegitimate religious practices and deems them purely as cultural ones. Emphasizing the importance of the saz aims to bridge the cultural and religious implications of the instrument and thus metaphorically serve as also a bridge in understanding the complexities of defining Alevis. Contextualizing is imperative for understanding the performative piece at the end of the paper. This section aims to provoke the reader to think about what they have just read and listen to a piece composed by an Alevi saz player who was victim to one of the atrocities in Alevi history. -
Alevilik Ve Bektaşilik Inancinda Devriyyeler
ALEVİLİK VE BEKTAŞİLİK İNANCINDA DEVRİYYELER Ali Rıza GÜRZOĞLU* Özet İnsanlar, tarih boyunca duygu ve düşüncelerini farklı şekillerde ifade etmeye çalışmışlardır. Bunlardan en etkili anlatım şekli ise şüphesiz ki nazım yolu ile gerçekleşmiştir. Şiirlerde kişiler bazen günlük yaşamlarını, çektikleri sıkıntılarını, özlemlerini, bazen de inançlarını dile getirmişlerdir. Dinî konulardaki algılamaların anlatıldığı şiir türlerinden birisi de devriyye adı verilen nazım türüdür. Bu türün diğerlerinden en önemli ayırt edici özelliği yaratılışın başlangıcını, sonunu, varlığın nereden gelip nereye gittiğini ve bu ikisi arasındaki aşamaların tasavvufa göre izahını konu edinmek olarak özetlenebilir. İnsanın insan suretine gelinceye kadar geçirdiği evreler üstü kapalı bir şekilde ifade edilmiştir. Yaratılmışların görüntü âlemine çıkışının akl-ı külden olduğu, nihayetinin ise insan-ı kâmile ulaşmak olacağı tarif edilmiştir. Bu nedenle devriyyeler, tekke edebiyatının en karmaşık ve izahı en zor türlerinin başında gelir. Fakat tasavvufun bazı inceliklerini bilenler, konuyu daima doğru kavrayabilmişlerdir. Yetersiz bilgi ile bu tür şiirlere bakıldığında ilâhî hakikatler inkâr ediliyormuş gibi bir izlenim oluşabilmektedir. Alevi ve Bektaşi şairleri tarafından deyiş, nutuk, nefes, ayet, düvaz, mersiye ve devriyye adı altında yazılmış şiirlerin tümünde inanca yönelik konular işlenmektedir. Mutasavvıfların önemli bir kısmı şiirlerinde devriyyelere özel bir yer vermişlerdir. Bu da bizi tasavvuf ehlinin konuyla özel olarak ilgilendiği sonucuna götürmektedir. Bu yazımızda özellikle Bektaşilik-Alevilik inancında devriyyelerin yeri, şairlerden bazılarının konu ile ilgili şiirleri irdelenmeye çalışılacaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Devir, devriyyeler, Alevilik ve Bektaşilikte şiir DEVRIYYES IN ALEVISM AND BEKTASHISM Abstract Mankind has always tried to express feelings and ideas in different ways. For sure, one of the most efficient ways is the poetry. In poems, human beings sometimes told about their daily lives, their problems and longings. -
