Medrese ve Metin Üretimi Üzerinden Memlük Toplumsal Kimliğinin İnşası

Öz

Memlükler döneminde medrese farklı sosyal grupların Memlük toplumuna aidiyetinin ve kendilerine dair kimlik bilincinin gelişmesine katkıda bulunmuştur. Bu makale, Memlükler dönemi sivil elitin çeşitli ilmî ve bürokratik pozisyonlarda aldıkları mansıpların ve ürettikleri metinlerin bir Memlük toplumsal kimliği geliştirmelerine sağladığı katkıyı incelemektedir. Memlük uleması kendinden önceki süreçlerden farklı bir biçimde Memlük iktidarının tarihine dair kaleme aldıkları metinlerde daha bilinçli bir Memlük toplumsal kimlik idrakine işaret ederler. Memlük toplumunda güç ilişkilerinin zamana ve mekâna yayılması noktasında siyasî elitin inşa ettikleri medrese yapıları ile sivil elitin kaleme aldıkları ve siyasî eliti meşru iktidar olarak tanıdıkları metinlerin bir kimlik ve aidiyet bilinci geliştirmede büyük etkiye sahip oldukları düşünülmektedir.

Creation of Mamluk Social Identity Through Madrasas and Production of Texts

Öz

The diversity of education in the madrasas contributed to different social groups’ feelings of belonging to the Mamluk community as well as to the formation of identity awareness. This study aims to examine the ranks the civil elite of the Mamluk period held in various scholarly and bureaucratic positions and the contribution of the texts they produced to the development of a Mamluk identity. Contrary to previous processes, the Mamluk ulama displayed a more conscious understanding of the Mamluk identity in their texts about the history of the Mamluk state and power. This study discusses how the ulama, who obtained scholarly or bureaucratic ranks because of various relationship networks they formed, constructed a Mamluk identity in their historical texts.
