Abstract:

 Ziya Gökalps Attempt to Re-Read the Fallow Deer Poem Abstract Ziya Gökalp was an intellectual who came to the forefront as a defender of the ideology of Turkism during the years when the Turkish nation struggled to remain on the stage of history. The artist, who thought that culture and literature had also become complicated under the influence of Eastern and Western civilizations during a time when social and political life was chaotic, was of the opinion that Turkish literature, which had drifted away from folk literature, should return to this source in order to gain a national identity. In his work The Essentials of Turkism 1923, Gökalp, who gave important responsibilities to intellectuals on the subjects of culture and civilization, advised them to go especially to the people and take the culture they had, and to bring civilization to the people, and showed folk literature as a source. The author, who treated Turkish historical consciousness, national consciousness and protecting ones past as themes in his poems, used folk literature, divan and Western poetry forms as well as wrote poems in forms unique to himself. In his poem Alageyik, which he wrote in the style of a verse tale, it is seen that the artist made considerable use of folk literature products such as epics, stories, manis and rhymes in terms of form and content. In the poem Alageyik, which is perceived as a childrens poem when first read, the poet, who makes suggestions about the past and the world of consciousness of the Turkish people, conveys his political thoughts in the language of verse. In this poem, in which he deals with the ideal and thought of Turan, he aims to reawaken the spirit of the Turk through a symbolic story.

 Öz Ziya Gökalp, Türk milletinin tarih sahnesinde kalma mücadelesi verdiği yıllarda Türkçülük ideolojisinin savunucusu olarak ön plana geçmiş bir aydındır. Sosyal ve siyasi hayatın karışık olduğu dönemde Doğu ve Batı medeniyetlerinin etkisi ile kültür ve edebiyatın da karmaşık hâl aldığını düşünen sanatçı, halk edebiyatından uzaklaşan Türk edebiyatının, millî bir kimliğe kavuşması için tekrar bu kaynağa dönmesi gerektiği görüşündedir. Türkçülüğün Esasları 1923 eserinde hars ve medeniyet konularında aydınlara önemli sorumluluk yükleyen Gökalp, onlara özellikle halka doğru giderek onlarda bulunan kültürü almalarını, halka medeniyet götürmelerini tavsiye eder, halk edebiyatını kaynak olarak gösterir. Şiirlerinde Türk tarih şuuru, millet olma bilinci ve geçmişine sahip çıkmayı tema olarak işleyen yazar, halk edebiyatı, divan ve Batının şiir şekillerinden faydalandığı gibi yalnız kendisine has biçimlerde de şiirler yazar. Manzum masal tarzında yazdığı Alageyik şiirinde sanatçının destan, hikâye, mani, tekerleme gibi halk edebiyatı ürünlerinden şekil ve içerik bakımından oldukça yararlandığı görülür. İlk okunduğunda çocuk şiiri gibi algılanan Alageyik şiirinde Türk halkının geçmişi, bilinç dünyası üzerine telkinlerde bulunan şair, siyasal düşüncelerini nazım diliyle aktarmıştır. Turan ülküsü ve düşüncesini işlediği bu şiirde, sembolik bir hikâye aracılığı ile Türkün ruhunu yeniden uyandırmayı hedefler. Anahtar Kelimeler: Ziya Gökalp, Alageyik, Halk Edebiyatı, Halk Kültürü, Türkçülük, Türkçülüğün Esasları.
