"Mahallîleleşme" Process in Poetry of Bosnian Divan Poets

Abstract

`Mahallîleşme` is a name for a process of localization of Ottoman literature through employing purified Turkish language as well as local proverbs and topics. As such it has become lately a matter of interest and discussion in the literary circles and among the Ottoman Studies experts. A result from such an interest is a general conclusion that divulgence of a national language, specific to one nation only, in a multi-cultural and multi-language state such as Ottoman Empire cannot be accepted as well founded. In spite of the evident presence of local topics and language in the Turk poets’ work it would be anachronous to understand this fact as a search for national language but it should rather be perceived as a part of a wide spread mahallîleşme process. Such a trend could also be observed in the poetry from different parts of the Ottoman Empire, including Bosnia. In light of the aforementioned, this paper analyses the poetry of Bosnian poets such as Sâbit, Mezâkî, Osman Şehdî and Hâtem from the aspect of their using local topics and expresions, as well as referrences to local places and events. Its goal is to show that the development of trends in Ottoman poetry can be perceived as a common process encompassing the empire as whole in which poets of different origin were creating their poems being well aware of and embracing the contemporary trends.
