Ulus İnşa Sürecinde İran Türkleri: Birinci Pehlevi Dönemi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, İran'da 1925'ten sonra ulus-devlet oluşumunun ardından kimlik siyaseti sonucu Türk kimliğinin ortaya çıkışını araştırmaktadır. Temelinde İran'ın çeşitli nüfus ve etnik kategorileri üzerinde etkisi olan Aryen ırkına dayalı primordial milliyetçilik, oldukça kısıtlayıcı önlemlerin ve sosyal politikaların İran milliyetçiliğini Fars kültürü ve mitine dayalı olarak pekiştirmesi, kimlik siyasallaşmasının yolunu açmıştır. Kapsamlı bir analiz elde etmek için bir dizi teori uygulanmıştır. Pierre Bourdieu'nun yarı-patrioniel toplumda sınıf oluşumu ve sembolik iktidar ve dil kavramları ile sosyal kimlik teorisi ve kısmen kimlik süreci teorisi ve asimilasyon ve şiddet konusundaki literatürün eklektik bir kavrayışı, çalışmanın teorik temelinde katkıda bulunmuştur. Araştırma içeriğini zenginleştirmek için birinci el malzemeler, dergiler ve arşivler kullanılmıştır.20. yüzyılda modern devletin kurulması ve önyargılı etnik-dilsel politikalar, etnik gerçeklikler arasında merkezkaç kuvvetleri tetikledi ve önyargı ve ayrımcılık karışımı ile toplumsal karşılaştırma, grup kimliğinin doğuşuna katkıda bulunarak Azerbaycan Türkleri arasında etnik kimliğin siyasallaşmasına yol açtı.

Iranian Turks in Nation-Building Process: First Pahlavi Era

Abstract

The study explores the emergence of Turkic identity as a result of identity politics committed in the aftermath of the nation-state building in Iran after 1925. It is believed that the primordial nationalism on the base of the Aryan race impacted the country's diverse population and ethnic categories and the imposition of highly restrictive measures and social policies in cementing Iranian nationalism built upon the Persian culture and myth, paved the way for the politicization of identity. To obtain a thorough analysis, a set of theories are applied. Pierre Bourdieu's class formation and symbolic concept of power and language in a semi-patrimonial society and the social identity theory and partly the identity process theory and having an eclectic grasp of the literature on assimilation and violence have contributed to the theoretical base of the study. First-hand materials, journals, and archives are used in order to enrich the research content. The establishment of the modern state in the 20th century and the biased ethnic-lingual policies precipitated centrifugal forces among ethnic realities, so the alchemy of stereotyping and discrimination, and social comparison giving birth to group identification contributed to the politicization of ethnic identity among Azerbaijani Turks and their ethnic awareness.
