A LAMENT AWAKENED IN THE KAHRAMANMARAS EARTHQUAKE: “MARAŞ MARAŞ DA BU NASIL MARAŞ” AND ORAL HISTORY
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Representatives of traditional music have been the spokespersons of society from the past to the present through their works and have touched on social issues. Some of the works of the oral culture representatives who serveas spokespersons of the society have survived in the oral tradition through intergenerational transmission. Especially works in the style of lament have continued their existence by being updated in memory with their dynamic structures. Kahramanmaraş witnessed painful scenes as a result of social and political events and experienced mass deaths with epidemic diseases throughout its history, along side many earthquake disasters. The events that took place caused thousands of people to be injured and killed. Various folk songs of the region have become articulators of society's feelings over time and have undergone multiple changes and transformations. Consequently, the folk songs in question have gained new meanings by maintaining their dynamic structure and have continued to be a means of expression for the feelings experienced.
The present article delineates the lament “Maraş Maraş da Bu Nasıl Maraş”, which describes the tragic events in Kahramanmaraş and still lives in the oral culture in order to understand and evaluate the history of Maraş. The article deals with the events that led to the emergence of this particular lament and the feelings of the public due to these events. It is believed that the folk song “Maraş Maraş da Bu Nasıl Maraş” reflects upon the struggle of the people living in Maraş during the War of Independence, the events that took place in the region in 1978, and the various sufferings experienced by the people living in the region after the two earthquakes of magnitude 7.7 and 7.6, the epicenter of which was Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023, and has gained new meanings as a self-renewing lament in the oral cultural tradition. The identified variants of the folk song "Maraş Maraş da Bu Nasıl Maraş," which is the focus of this study, were compared in order to perform a semantic analysis of the text. In addition, the creation of the folk song, its formation conditions and aspects that witness the history of Kahramanmaraş were examined in the context of oral history, the dynamism of oral culture and the awakening of works living in verbal memory in the face of different events.
