Özet:

Throughout the past up until the present day, works are interpreted in various ways; different meanings, readings, evaluations of a single work based are presented, taking different points to focus on and base their work. The Turkish national anthem, the “İstiklâl Marşı”, has been ascribed both historical and spiritual value, and is a work that has been interpreted in various ways. In this study, the “İstiklâl Marşı” will be subject to study according to the theory of intertextuality. Intertextuality is a theory that discusses a text in relation to texts that preceded it and texts of the same era. The eligibility of the İstiklâl Marşı to an intertextual reading is examined according to this theory, and in light of the data obtained when read in this context, remarkable results are obtained, and are specified in this study.
