| 要約: | The present article examines the rhetorical qualities of the so-called deyiş in relation to tradition formation and identity building within Alevism using a cultural memory studies approach. The focus of the study is on forms of poetic perspectivization, namely the various ways messages are processed through the relationship between the textual speaker, addressee, and mahlas (the poet’s pen name). These forms of perspectivization can be understood as mnemotechnical mechanisms in Alevi poetry in two respects: On one hand, they enable us to examine in a more nuanced way the methods of transmitting Alevi cultural memory in deyiş. On the other hand, these forms were templates for historical poetry production and continue to provide orientation for contemporary poets. Their reuse across different eras creates a multilayered intertextual entanglement within the Alevi poetic corpus, serving as a distinct expression of cultural memory at the literary level. Thus, looking at the intertextuality of the forms from a memory-theoretical approach provides an opportunity to examine both the emic dimension of the production of Alevi cultural memory and the dynamics of the Alevi poetic tradition itself. |
