The legacy of Nizami Ganjavi in Transoxiana: An analysis of Khamsa's influence on oral narrative

Nizami Ganjavi, one of the distinguished poets of the 12th century, has a special place in world literature with his works from ancient times to the present. This poet is famous not only in Persian literature but also in Turkish and Indian literature. Nizami Ganjavi is related to the Mesnevi works, which were translated into Turkish and even translated by many Turkish poets and writers in the following centuries. Among these, we can count the essential figures of Chagatai Turkish literature (Transoxiana), especially Emir Alişer Nevai, who cared about Mesnevi Khamsa Nizami and made changes and wrote examples based on his stories. Nizâmî, with the dreams and images created in the Mesnevi above, has revealed an original style that is very important in today's comparative literature field at the international level. He proved his success by creating a new style of fantasy drawing using imaginary images, and many poets influenced by him entered the field of literature. This article refers to Panj Ganj or Khamsa Nizami Ganjavi's works and tries to explore his influence on Transoxiana writers. The study uses a qualitative, library, and comparative methodology and is founded on the laws and categories of scientific research. Researchers applied modern research approaches and methods (general scientific analysis, comparison, generalization, systematization, text analysis, and retrospective analysis).

Restful Souls: The Representative Men (Yunus Emre and Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Abstract Yunus Emre, the prominent Turkish poet who left his mark on the 13th century, stands out as the most significant folk poet producing poetry in vernacular Turkish. On the other hand, Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American essayist, is recognized as one of the most influential thinkers of the 19th century. Despite living in different centuries, the commonality between these two representative figures is love, more precisely Divine love. This article offers a comprehensive analysis of the intellectual realms of Turkish Sufi poet Emre and American thinker Emerson through their profound exploration of love. Focusing on Emre's impact in Turkish Islamic culture and Emerson's role in American Transcendentalism, both are examined as representative men of their eras. The article introduces the similarities of Divine love in the teachings and worldviews of these influential thinkers, and illustrates their contributions to humanity's cultural and intellectual development. Emre and Emerson’s intellectual legacy forms the primary focus of the article and offers a perspective on how their understanding of love significantly shaped humanity's collective consciousness.

In Search of Inner Self:Yunus Emre’s Mysticism and Emerson’s Transcendentalism

How could a person seek freedom of inner self and find the truth? Acording to Ralph Waldo Emerson, this is possible through Self-Reliance. From Emerson’s transcendental perspective, the most important thing for a person is to know himself. On the other hand, approximately six hundred years before Emerson, the Turkish poet Yunus Emre gave a very similar message with the phrase Know Yourself. Emre’s perspective on inner self, truth, and love is closely related to Emerson’s ethical ideas, indicating that both writers lead us towards Neoplatonic theories of knowledge. Emre and Emerson came from contrasting cultural backgrounds and had distinct living and working conditions and learning envi- ronments. Emre hails from the Turkish culture and is a disciple (murid) of a Sufi spiritual teacher (murshid), in contrast Emerson comes from a Unitarian background, but he does not follow a lineage and relies on his individual actions. Despite this, they both have an inclu- sive attitude that encompasses all of humanity. Although there seems to be no references to the Turkish poet Emre in Emerson’s texts, there are a lot of commonalities in their writings in terms of self and inner-self. These philosophers - who lived in different continents, thou- sands of miles away from each other and at different times - listened to the universe with the same ear, with the same heart. Thus, they appear as two poets who aim to help people know themselves and add meaning to their lives, not only in their own society but also in other societies. Therefore, this study focuses on the unseen connection between these literary figures and through comparative analysis; it seeks to shed light on the shared mystical and transcendental themes that connect Emre and Emerson across time and cultural boundaries.

Daedalus and Icarus in Verbal and Visual Frames: A Comparative Reading of Bruegel, Auden and Ağıl

ABSTRACT The myth of Daedalus and Icarus has been the subject of numerous literary texts as well as artworks in the Western tradition. The Turkish poet Nazmi Ağıl’s two ekphrastic poems ‘Bruegel: The Landscape as Icarus Falls’ and ‘Auden’s Icarus’ are retellings of the myth with reference to Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Pieter Bruegel the Elder’s Landscape with the Fall of Icarus, and W. H. Auden’s ‘Musée des Beaux Arts’. If ekphrasis is the representation of a work of art in literature, then Ağıl’s poems are re-representations of both verbal and visual frames by critiquing Auden’s interpretation from the mouth of a storyteller Kamil in the former poem and Daedalus in the latter. Ağıl’s aim in alluding to the Western sources is to highlight political issues in Turkey. This paper, then, argues how Ağıl’s poems complicate the reading process by playing with verbal and visual frames.

Klasik dönem şiir yapıtlarının kendisine has özellikleri vardır. Belli üslup üzere kaleme alınan bu yapıtlar sahip oldukları iç ve dış bütünsellikleri ile önceki ve sonraki dönem şiir yapıtlarından ayrılmaktadır. Klasik dönem edebiyat örnekleri Allah’ın ve Hz. Peygamber’in övgüsü ile başlamakta ve eserin ithaf edildiği padişahın methi ile devam etmektedir. Klasik eserlerde özellikle Allah inancı büyük önem taşımaktadır. Aynı zamanda Peygamber sevgisi de klasik edebiyat örneklerinin vaz geçilmezidir. “Hz. Peygamber’in Miracı”, “Hz. Muhammed İçin Güzelleme” gibi başlıklar klasik Azerbaycan şiirinde çokça rastlanan Peygamber sevgisinin işlendiği bölümlerdendir. Bu bölümlerde şairler kendi düşünce dünyalarını ortaya koymuşlardır. Onlar, naklî, felsefî ve mantıkî delillere dayanarak Allah inancının diğer inançlardan üstün olduğunu ve Hz. Muhammed’in son peygamber olduğu üzerinde durmuşlardır. Klasik Azerbaycan edebiyatının en büyük temsilcilerinden biri hiç kuşkusuz Nizâmî Gencevî’dir. O, sadece Azerbaycan edebiyatının değil, aynı zamanda dünya edebiyatının büyük klasiklerindendir. Nizâmî Gencevî’yi diğer Türk şairlerinden farklı kılan özelliklerinden biri de ilk defa Azerbaycan-Türk edebiyatında “Hamse” (beşlik anlamına gelmektedir) yazmış olmasıdır.

Hz. Peygamber, Türklerin Müslüman olduktan sonra yazdıkları dinî ve tasavvufî eserlerde olduğu kadar, konusu doğrudan din ve tasavvuf olmayan eserlerde de sıklıkla saygı, sevgi ve özlemle anılmıştır. Bu denli yaygın biçimde kendisinden bahsedilen Hz. Peygamber’in öne çıkarılan vasıflarının tespiti, Müslüman Türk şairlerinin gönül dünyasında ve zihinlerindeki Peygamber tasavvurunu belirlemede önemli bir kaynak olarak öngörülmüştür.
 17. yüzyılda hikmet geleneğinin temsilcisi olan Nâbî, bu makalenin araştırma konusu açısından, yaşadığı dönem için iyi bir örnek olarak varsayılmış; onun manzum ve mensur eserlerinde yer alan Hz. Peygamber ve O’nun vasıfları taranarak tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Elde edilen onlarca sıfat, esmâ-i Nebî metinlerindeki isimlerle benzeşen ve benzeşmeyen yönleriyle karşılaştırılmış, son yıllarda halk edebiyatında kullanılan “epitet” kavramıyla açıklanıp açıklanamayacağı tartışılmıştır. 
 Sonuçta, önemli bir Osmanlı şairinin eserlerinden çıkarılan Peygamberimizin sıfatları ile Osmanlı toplumunun geçmişten o tarihlere kadar getirdiği Peygamber tasavvuru olabildiğince derli toplu biçimde ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır.

Comparison of the theme of national romanticism in the poems of Magzhan Zhumabayev with the works of Turkish poets

Studies of M.Zhumabayev’s creativity are carried out in various fields of science. It is known that in recent years “Magzhan tanu” as a separate branch of science has achieved a lot and began to take shape. The complexity of M.Zhumabayev’s life and the versatility of his heritage attracted the attention of foreign scientists. That is, the work of the poet is not limited to poetry. The need for a systematic and comprehensive study of philosophical and historical sources and pedagogical views in his works can be considered the imperative of the times. M.Zhumabayev, one of the prominent representatives of Kazakh literature, is one of the poets who sang the theme of Turkism in his poetry at the beginning of the 20th century, and is a unique figure for the Turkic peoples. In his poems, expressing his views and attitude towards society, it is stated that “the name of the nation is Turkic, the name of the homeland is Turan.” Obviously, the word “Türik” does not refer to one people in the works of this poet. He called the entire Turkic world to unity and solidarity, and for the rest of his life longed for the independence of the Kazakh people. In addition to depicting inner experiences, his poems widely discuss social issues written in the spirit of critical realism. It is known that the struggle for national liberation and ideological unity of the Turkic peoples of the early twentieth century was reflected in the poetry of M.Zhumabayev. Thanks to this feature, the name of M.Zhumabayev is one of the first to be mentioned when talking about Kazakh literature in Turkey, which is the leading country of the Turkic world. Although M.Zhumabayev did not travel to Turkey, his literary personality and views are widely known in Anatolia. In this context, the analysis of his poetic works by the method of analyzing the texts of Turkish literary critics and comparing the Turkic ideology of the poet with the works of poets who support the Turkic movement in Turkey shows the relevance of our topic. If we look at the principles of M.Zhumabayev and the poets of the national period of Anatolian literature, we will see that their subject matter is close, and their goals are the same. In this regard, the purpose of our study is to compare the poems of M.Zhumabayev with the works of poets who sang the Turkish direction in terms of national romanticism. In addition, the results of the study were differentiated on the basis of the methods of complex, systematic, comparative, objective-analytical, historical-systematic analysis, generalization, and generalization inherent in the science of literary criticism. The collected data were compared by topic. The main methodological and theoretical basis of our research is the enrichment of the conclusions of domestic and Turkish literary criticism, the nature of poetry, epic genres, epics, genre-stylistic, artistic and aesthetic features of poems.
