Abstract

In this study, to overcome the challenges Islamic studies face, it is necessary to promote actively research. In other words, if a stable research foundation is laid and future human resources are nurtured in the interest of society, the research on Islam in Korea will enter a new phase. Accordingly, to raise public awareness of Islam in Korea and to nurture future human resources for Islamic study, it is necessary to find a way to use Sufism research more realistically. In this paper, to promote Islamic studies in Korea, firstly, the current status of researches on Sufism in Korea will be reviewed, and then suggestions for overcoming its challenges will be made. This study classifies articles on Sufism by year, academic field, author and publisher, and region. The reasons for setting the four criteria in this study are as follows. The Korea Citation Index (KCI) is a system with public confidence operated by the National Research Foundation (NRF). Articles on Sufism published in Korea, the research subject, were selected through the KCI. The KCI is a specialized information service that provides bibliographical information, citation information, and statistical data on journals and articles for registration and candidates for registration selected through journal evaluation by the National Research Foundation of Korea. The National Research Foundation of Korea is the nation's leading research and management organization. For this paper, among the articles on Sufism, 50 articles registered in the KCI were the subjects of the research.

Kore’de İslam Araştırmalarının Sufizm Yansımaları – Kore İslam Araştırmalarında Sufizm Araştırma Eğilimlerinin Durumu

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Kore'de İslam araştırmalarının karşılaştığı bir takım sorunların üstesinden gelmek için İslam araştırmalarını destekleyip arttırmak gerektiğini ortaya koyacağız. Başka bir deyişle, uygun bazı araştırma vakıf ve dernekler İslam ile ilgili araştırmalara destek verirse, gelecekte toplumun gelişmesi için katkı sağlamış olacaktır. Kore'de toplumun İslam hakkında farkındalığını arttırmak için İslam Sufizmini daha gerçekçi bir biçimde anlamak için yeni yollar bulmak gereklidir. Bu makalede Kore'de İslam araştırmalarını geliştirmek için öncelikle, Kore'de halihazırda yapılmış olan mevcut çalışmalar ele alınacak ve sonra da karşılaşılan sorunlarla ilgili tavsiyeler sunulacaktır. İslam sufizmi hakkında yapılan çalışmalar yıllara, akademik alanlara, yazarlara, yayıncılara ve bölgelerine göre sınıflandırılacaktır. Bunu dört ölçüte gere ele almanın nedeni şöyle açıklanabilir: KCI, Ulusal Araştırma Vakfı tarafından yürütülen toplum güvenliği sistemidir. Kore'de Sufizm ile ilgili basılan makaleler, araştırma konusu, Kore Alıntı Dizinleri (KCI) tarafından seçilmektedir. KCI, ülkedeki bütün yayınları takip ederek alanla ilgili uzman bilgi hizmeti veren bir kurumdur. Kore Ulusal Araştırma Vakfı, ülkenin araştırma ve yönetim kurumudur. Bu makalede kullanılan sufizm ile ilgili 50 makale KCI'de araştırma konularına göre kaydedilmiştir.
