Firstly, through a discussion of the terminology used for mobile social groups in other disciplines, such as anthropology and geography, it is revealed that there is no terminological consensus, but rather a variety within and among the terms used. In parallel with this theoretical background, it is argued that the concept of variety occupied an important role in yörüks’ ways of life in the region in question. This is also reflected in the manners in which they were registered, though a different manner of registration did not necessarily signify a different way of life. In this particular sphere, the yörük groups examined are those of the districts of Demürhisar, Drama, Yenice-i Karasu, and Gümülcine. Next, the military nature of these yörüks is analyzed. The origins and formation of the yörük organization in Rumelia are discussed through the case of iii western Thrace. Similarities with and differences from other auxiliary forces are also investigated in connection with the question of origins and formation. The regulations issued for the yörüks as a military group and the changes that occurred over time are looked at so as to be able to see any differentiation. The extent of militarization among the yörüks in the region is evaluated through the classical fiscal surveys and the yörük registers, with a revisional approach to the literature being taken. Within this scope, the nature of the yörük registers is questioned, and the correlation between registered and unregistered yörüks is revealed. Keywords: yörük, Ottoman Rumelia, western Thrace, eastern Macedonia, Demürhisar, Drama, Yenice-i Karasu, Gümülcine, the yörük organization, defter-i yörükân, nomadism, transhumance. iv ÖZET ONALTINCI YÜZYILDA OSMANLI BATI TRAKYASI YÖRÜKLERİ Yeni, Harun Doktora, Tarih Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Prof. Dr. Halil İnalcık Ocak 2013 Bu çalışma esas olarak onaltıncı yüzyıla ait mâli ve askerî kayıtlar üzerinden Osmanlı Batı Trakyası’ndaki yörüklerin mahiyetini sorgulamaktadır. İlk önce, antropoloji ve coğrafya gibi diğer disiplinlerde hareketli sosyal topluluklar için kullanılan kavramlar hakkındaki mevcut tartışmalar sunularak, terminoloji üzerinde bir uzlaşma olmadığı ve hem kavramların kendi içinde hem de kavramlar arasında bir çeşitliliğin mevcut olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Bu teorik arka plana paralel olarak, çeşitlilik mefhumunun yörüklerin yaşam biçimlerinde önemli bir rol oynadığı savunulmaktadır. Bu durum yörüklerin kaydedilme biçimlerine de yansımakla beraber, her farklı kayıt biçimi farklı bir yaşam biçimi anlamına da gelmemektedir. Demürhisar, Drama, Yenice-i Karasu ve Gümülcine kazâlarındaki yörük varlığı bu bağlam içerisinde değerlendirilmiştir. Sonrasında, bu bölgelerdeki yörüklerin askerî boyutu irdelenmiştir. Batı Trakya örneği üzerinden Osmanlı Rumelisi’ndeki yörük teşkilatının kökenleri ve v kuruluşu meseleleri tartışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda teşkilatın çağdaş diğer yardımcı kuvvetlerle benzerlik ve farklılıkları da değerlendirilmiştir. Yörük teşkilatı için hâsıl olan kanunlar ile zamanla bu kanunlarda yapılan değişiklikler, süreç içerisinde teşkilatta meydana gelen değişmeleri görmek açısından ele alınmıştır. Askerîliğin bölgedeki yörükler arasındaki boyutları, tahrir kayıtları ve yörük defterleri üzerinden literatüre revizyonist bir yaklaşımla değerlendirilmiştir. Bununla bağlantılı olarak yörük defterlerinin yapısı sorgulanmış ve askerî olarak kaydedilen yörüklerle kaydedilmeyenler arasındaki ilişki ortaya konulmuştur. Anahtar Kelimeler: yörük, Osmanlı Rumelisi, Batı Trakya, Doğu Makedonya, Drama, Demürhisar, Yenice-i Karasu, Gümülcine, yörük teşkilatı, defter-i yörükân, göçebelik, transhumans. vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This research, while an individual work, has come into existence with the support of several people. First, I would like to express gratitude to my supervisor Prof. Halil İnalcık, with whom I had the chance to work since 2003. He exemplifies the high quality scholarship to which I, and all the Ottomanists, aspire. His intimate attention throughout the study motivated me for the better. His guiding suggestions and inspiring ideas contributed a lot to the development of this research. I would like to thank Prof. Evgeni Radushev with my whole heart for standing by me since my arrival at the department. My acquaintance with the primary sources as a M.A. student, which turned into a venture of years, was possible thanks to him. His valuable suggestions, attentive warnings, and insightful opinions played important roles at every stage of this study. It was his enthusiasm which encouraged me to complete this project. I am honored and lucky to feel that he was present whenever I needed him not only as a mentor but as a friend and as a father. I would also like to express my gratitude to Prof. Özer Ergenç, to whom I had the chance to consult whenever I needed. His immense knowledge in Ottoman social and economic history guided me when I was confused by kanunnâme excerpts. He was always kind enough to share his time generously. I am honored to have Prof. Ergenç in my jury. I am also grateful to Prof. Mehmet Öz, who was present vii from the first steps of this process. His valuable comments and criticism upon the sources, method, and the edition of the text led me to improve them. I was truly honored to have Dr. Berrak Burçak among my dissertation committee members. It was her courtesy to accept it. I would like to thank Dr. Oktay Özel, whose support I felt closely both as a professor and as a friend during my stay at Bilkent. He provided me with his guidance during this project by means of his valuable comments. Despite his busy agenda, he was kind enough to edit my article text. He was always present at my joys and sorrows. I would like to express gratitude to Dr. Paul Latimer, who generously spent his time in editing and shaping my article. It is not possible to give his dues in the finalization of the paper. I thank Dr. Evgenia Kermeli whose support I felt since M.A. years. I should also mention Dr. Mehmet Kalpaklı, Cadoc Leighton, David Thornton, Ahmet Simin, Akif Kireççi and Edward Kohn of the Department of History for their supports in various occasions. I am also indebted to Dr. Phokion Kotzageorgis for his constructive comments on my topic and for his valuable friendship. I have also received a great deal of help and support from some other institutions and individuals. I am deeply greatful to BDAGM. Osmanlı Arşiv Dairesi Başkanlığı and Cumhuriyet Arşivi Daire Başkanlığı, TKGM. Kuyûd-i Kadime Arşivi and their officers. I thank İ.D. Bilkent University for providing me various facilities and resources since 1999. Altın Koza [İpek] University together with its faculty and administrative personnel gave support to which I am indebted. I also thank Turkish Cultural Foundation for the fellowship I was granted in 2010. I am obliged to thank to Eser Berkel Sunar, Birsen Çınar, Ece Türk, Nebahat Öksüz, Funda Yılmaz, and Nimet Kaya for their sincere help as administrative assistants. viii My thanks are also due to a number of friends. Yakup Turali has always been a real brother with his constant support for around twentyfive years, and he has a great share in this dissertation, as well. Ali Erdurmuş and İlker Daştan, as my old friends, stood by me and gave me energy whenever I was exhausted. It is not actually possible to utter Neslihan Demirkol and Ayşegül Avcı’s shares adequately. They turned the writing process into a more bearable one and did their best to comfort and help me whenever I needed. I should also mention Fatma Gül Karagöz, who helped me a lot especially with some French texts together with Neslihan. Polat Safi and Fatih Durgun are two other precious friends who bore the burden of this study upon their shoulders together with me. Sessions of discussions, motivation, and scheduling with them lie beneath this dissertation. Elvin Otman, who was always at a distance of call and eager to help, made Bilkent days more enjoyable with her company.

  • Transformation from Tent to Room: Room of Traditional Turkish House
    IJASOS- International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, Vol. III, Issue 9, December 2017 TRANSFORMATION FROM TENT TO ROOM: ROOM OF TRADITIONAL TURKISH HOUSE Deniz Demirarslan Ass.Prof Dr.,Kocaeli University, TURKEY, [email protected] Abstract The room has a function of nucleus in the formation of Turkish House which has an important place in the sense of traditional residence features in the world and the planning of this residence begins with room. Therefore, this residence is a phenomenon that develops from inner space through outer space. The formation of the room of traditional Turkish house is influenced by various elements. On top of them there come the requirements of nomads and Turkish-Islamic life style. The effects of these are clearly observed in the architectural design and decoration of the room which is shaped by the features of traditional life and bestows its design characteristics from nomad tent. Before immigrating to Anatolia from 11th century A.D., Turks have lived mostly a nomadic life in Middle Asia. Therefore, just like in other Middle Asia cultures; Turks have lived in temporary shelters. After settling in Anatolia and before that after accepting Islam; Turks have started to lead a sedentary life and formed a new living culture with the effect of various Anatolian civilizations, notably the Byzantines. In this way, a type of residence which is built in Anatolia, Balkans and Caucasus in the period of Ottoman Empire has emerged. The room of this type of house which lasted from 15th century to the second half of 19th century forms the nucleus of design.

  • Soft Power Or Illusion of Hegemony: the Case of the Turkish Soap Opera “Colonialism”
    International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), 2361-2385 1932–8036/20130005 Soft Power or Illusion of Hegemony: The Case of the Turkish Soap Opera “Colonialism” ZAFER YÖRÜK PANTELIS VATIKIOTIS Izmir University of Economics The article develops two simultaneous arguments; one is theoretical, and the other is analytic. The theoretical argument is based on an assessment of the utility of the concept of “soft power” in comparison to the Gramscian concept of hegemony in understanding the developments in the recent regional power games in the geographical area consisting of Eastern Europe and the near and Middle East. The analytic argument examines the popularity of Turkish soap operas, both among a cross-cultural audience and within the wider context of cultural, economic, and political influences, and in so doing, it points out challenges and limits for Turkey’s regional power. Introduction This article notes the recent boom in the popularity of Turkish soap operas in the Middle East, the Balkans, and some (predominantly “Turkic”) former Soviet Republics in Asia, and examines the discourse of Turkish “soft power” that has developed upon this cultural development. The research focuses here on the analysis of two case studies—of the Middle East and Greece— where the Turkish series are very popular. Both cases are able to contribute different perspectives and explanations of this “cultural penetration” across both sides of a geographical area containing Eastern Europe and the near and Middle East, evaluating Turkey’s “influence” accordingly.1 1 In this regard, the limits of the analysis of the present study are set. Although a general framework of the perception of the Turkish series is provided along both case studies (popularity; aspirations and identifications), further research is needed in order to provide a detailed account of the impact of Turkish series on the related societies.

  • The Ottoman State and Semi-Nomadic Groups Along
    HStud 27 (2013)2, 219–235 DOI: 10.1556/HStud.27.2013.2.2 THE OTTOMAN STATE AND SEMI-NOMADIC GROUPS ALONG THE OTTOMAN DANUBIAN SERHAD (FRONTIER ZONE) IN THE LATE 15TH AND THE FIRST HALF OF THE 16TH CENTURIES: CHALLENGES AND POLICIES NIKOLAY ANTOV University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, AR, USA E-mail: [email protected] The main subject of this article is the relationship between the Ottoman state and semi-nomadic groups in the Ottoman Danubian frontier zone (serhad) in the late 15th and the first half of the 16th century. Taking the two extremities of the Danubian frontier zone – the provinces of Smederevo in Serbia and Silistre in the northeastern Balkans – as case studies, the article compares the ways in which the Ottoman state dealt with semi-nomadic Vlachs at one end of the frontier zone and Turcoman yürüks (and related groups) at the other. Placing the subject in the broader context of the historical development of the Danubian frontier zone, the author analyzes the Ottoman state’s changing policies toward these two groups. Taking into account the largely different historical legacies and demographic make-ups, the article analyzes the many commonalities (as well as some important differences) in the way the Ot- toman government integrated such groups in its administrative structure. It high- lights the process in which such semi-nomadic groups, traditionally utilized by the Ottoman state as auxiliary soldiers, were gradually “tamed” by the state in the course of the 16th century, becoming gradually sedentarized and losing their privi- leged status. Keywords: Ottoman, frontier, 16th century, semi-nomads, Vlachs, Yürüks The frontier and (pastoral) nomadism are two concepts that have fascinated (Mid- dle Eastern and) Ottomanist historians from the very conception of these fields of historical inquiry.

THE POLITICS OF ETHNICITY, IDENTITY AND RELIGION AMONG TURKS IN LONDON Talip Kucukcan A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Warwick Centre for Research in Ethnic Relations December 1996 1 ABSTRACT 'The Politics of Ethnicity, Identity and Religion Among Turks in London' is a study of a micro-Muslim community in Britain. Earlier research on Islam and Muslims in Britain concentrated predominantly on Islam amongst South-Asian Muslims although there is a large degree of diversity in the expression of cultural and religious identity among Muslim communities in Britain. This thesis seeks to come to an understanding of the politics of ethnicity, identity and religion among Turkish Muslims who are a part of this diversity. The main objective of this research is to analyse how Turkish identity is constructed and what are the roles of family, culture, organisations and religious groups in the reproduction and transmission of traditional values to the young generation. This research is expected to fill a gap in research on micro-Muslim communities in Britain. Research methods involved participant observation, in-depth interviews and a survey.
