Cultural Heritage from the Ottoman Era to Today: Reading the Historical Antep Long Bazaar Through the Work “Uzun Çarşının Uluları”

Öz

Historical long bazaars hold significant importance in Turkish history for several reasons and are closely linked to Eastern civilisations. These bazaars provided valuable insights into the social dynamics and operations of their era and experienced notable evolution, especially during the Ottoman period. They assisted the city and region become a hub of trade and culture through their architectural features and influence on cultural life. Their continued existence today signifies their role as vital, tangible cultural heritage from that time. Historical long bazaars have a share in the diversification and development of the city and human profile with their multifaceted effects on the space-human relationship. This research focuses on the historical relevance of the Long Bazaar in old Antep, recognised as a central commercial and cultural venue during the Ottoman era, highlighting both its physical features and fictional stories. The study critically evaluates the Antep Long Bazaar, utilising Mitat Enç's work, "Uzun Çarşının Uluları" as its primary resource. Through a space-oriented perspective, this methodology emphasises the complex interaction between space and people, bolstered by the unified relationship between literature and architecture. A descriptive method has been applied in the analysis, delving into the city and its notable spaces to examine their influence -from individual experiences to societal impacts- thereby enhancing understanding across relevant fields. The findings reveal that the old Antep bazaar acts not only as a trading centre but as a venue that systematically explores the social, psychological, and historical dimensions of its era and sociological insights.
