Abstract

The political and social transformations that took place in Turkey and in the world after 1960 had important effects on broadcasting and translation life. The environment brought by the libertarian constitutional arrangements based on the post-1960s also led to a break in publishing and translation activities, which were harsh compared to previous years. Especially among the youth in Turkey, different ideas have started to find value and ground. Each group started to translate works that could serve as a source for their own worldviews. These studies have become tools for proving their ideas and ideologies to the groups against them and even persuading them. The aim of an Islamic social transformation by translating the foreign resources needed for religious social life into Turkish has led to the formation of a new social paradigm in Turkey. The thought of Islamism in Turkey, which is one of the intellectual movements affected by the political and social events taking place abroad, started to enter our country in different ways through translations in this process. A full understanding of the scope and content of translations of Islamic works from the Middle East Islamic World after the 1960s will enable a more efficient understanding of this period. Islamist movements, which were very different and new from the traditional Islamic culture that had settled in the Anatolian geography until this period, rapidly changed the perception of Islam in Turkey. The effects of Islamist movements transmitted through translation on Turkey's social and political life have been continuing for years. In the study, the purpose of the translations, the nature of the organizations that made the translations and the experiences of publishing houses from different groups in the translation process were examined from the perspective we presented above. As a result, with this study, the contribution of Islamist formations in Turkey to Turkey's accumulation through translations as a result of their interaction with the Islamic world has been tried to be conveyed.
