Şecere-i Terâkime’de Yasak ve Müeyyideler, Kökenleri Üzerine Bazı Tespitler

Abstract

In the historical process, every society has its own customs, traditions, and practices related to belief systems and social life. Turks, with a rich history, have entered different religious spheres since mythological eras. Along with these religious spheres, various cultural environments have also played a role in the development and shaping of customs, traditions, and practices. As practices in social life and information related to our oral history gradually transitioned into writing over time, we can find cultural norms such as traditions, customs, beliefs, prohibitions, etc., in literary works. “Şecere-i Terâkime,” written in Chagatai Turkish by Ebülgâzi Bahadır Khan in 1660, narrates the genealogy of the Turks. This work is part of other Oghuz narratives. In “Şecere-i Terâkime,” alongside information about the history of the Oğuz, there are also various social and cultural elements related to them. Prohibitions found within the social and cultural elements constitute the entirety of attitudes and behaviors that people exhibit tow Fards certain entities or objects, whether deemed sacred or taboo. In contrast to commandments from God, traces of prohibitions believed to be created by humans and thought to regulate societal life are also found in “Şecere-i Terâkime.” This article aims to identify the prohibitions and sanctions in “Şecere-i Terâkime” and to uncover the origins of these prohibitions and sanctions.
