Bir ülkenin en büyük serveti, birlik ve bütünlüğünü sağlayan sosyal sermayesidir. Zaviyeler, bu bütünlüğün sağlanmasına tarihte hizmet etmiş önemli vakıf kurumlardır. Bu çalışma, ağırlıklı olarak 15-17. yüzyıllar arasında Karadeniz’de kurulan zaviyeler ele alınmıştır. Bunların önemli bir kısmı Ahi, bir kısmı Bektaşî; daha az bir kısmı da Rufâî, Mevlevî zaviyeleridir. Dini temayülü belirlenemeyen bazı zaviyeler de bu kapsamda ele alınmıştır. İlerleyen yüzyıllarda bölgede görülen çeşitli tarikatlara mensup oluşumlar, ayrı bir çalışmanın konusu olduğu için kapsam dışı bırakılmıştır. Böylece fetih ve ilk iskân döneminin sosyal hayatına ait inanç iklimini besleyen unsurlar, daha sonra savaş ve göçlerle oluşan harici dinamiklerden ayrı tutularak ele alınmaya çalışılmıştır. Arşivler taranarak geniş bir alanda uzun süredir yapılan bu çalışmanın temel hedefi, geçmiş ile gelecek arasında, sağlam köprüler kurmaktır. Elde edilen neticenin ilim âleminin hizmetine sunulması, tarafımıza lütfedilmiş bir fırsat olarak kabul edilmiştir.
The present book is a bold attempt at revealing the complex and diversified nature of the field of translated literature in Turkey during a period of radical socio-political change. On the broad level, it investigates the implications of the political transformation experienced in Turkey after the proclamation of the Republic for the cultural and literary fields, including the field of translated literature. On a more specific level, it holds translation under focus and explores the discourse formed on translation and translators while it also traces the norms (not) observed by translators throughout the 1920s-1950s in two case studies. The findings of the study suggest that the concepts of translation both affected and were affected by cultural processes in the society, including ideological and poetological ones and that there was no uniform way of defining or carrying out translations during the period under study. The findings also point at the segmentation of readership in early republican Turkey and conclude that the political and poetological factors governing the production and reception of translations varied for different segments of readers.
