Drama, Minorities and The Ottoman Empire

Year 2017, Volume: 14 Issue: 1, 23 - 33, 01.01.2017

Abstract

The
birth of ‘Turkic Drama’ within the dramatic rise of nationalist eulogy is, as
opposed to popular belief, principally grounded on the theatric activities of
ethnic and religious minorities in a non-Western society, the late
nineteenth-and early twentieth century Ottoman Empire. The origin of the crisis
in terms of the making of national Turkish drama, which has been based almost
entirely on the practices of Ottoman minority groups (specifically those of
Greeks, Armenians who were under Christian and Judaic beliefs) during three
differing phases of late Ottoman period, Tanzimat,
Istibdat and Meşrutiyet Eras
, is the focus of this paper. Centering on the
role played by ethnicity and religion in the Ottoman socio-cultural life, this
paper argues that Ottoman ethnic and religious minorities, though divided by
Ottoman Islamic ideology of millet system, produced a highly cultural and
literary upshot: the groundwork for ‘Turkish drama’.

Drama, Azınlıklar ve Osmanlı İmparatorluğu

Abstract

Genel kanının aksine
Türk tiyatrosunun doğuşu o yoğun milliyetçi methiyelerin arasında on dokuzuncu
yüzyıl sonu yirminci yüzyıl başında temelde Batılı olmayan Osmanlı
İmparatorluğu içindeki etnik ve dini azınlıkların tiyatral etkinliklerine
dayanır. Bu çalışma, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun son üç aşaması olan Tanzimat,
İstibdat ve Meşrutiyet dönemleri boyunca neredeyse tamamıyla Osmanlı
azınlıklarının (özellikle de Hıristiyan ve Yahudi Rumların ve Ermenilerin)
faaliyetleri üzerine inşa edilmiş bir milli Türk tiyatrosunun yaratılmasının
kökenindeki krize odaklanmaktadır. Osmanlı sosyo-kültürel hayatında etnisite ve
dinin oynadığı rol üzerinde yoğunlaşan bu çalışma, Osmanlı etnik ve dini
azınlıklarının bir Osmanlı-İslam ideolojisi olan millet sistemiyle bölünmesine rağmen Türk Tiyatrosu’nun temelini
atacak ciddiyette kültürel ve edebi ürünler ortaya koyduğunu savunmaktadır.
