Abstract:

One of the important elements that strengthen the connection of a literary work with life is the space and its image. In literary works, space and painting are important in terms of reflecting the link of the text to the reality, as well as in terms of the artist's contribution to the exterior of the inner world, as well as in terms of the artist's contribution to the transmission of criticisms and values. From the latter times of the Ottoman State to the transition to the Republic of Turkey to a change of value with his poems, witnessing the cultural breakthrough, Mehmet Âkif Ersoy (1873-1936) was in the position of a projector and a carrier of the poet’s inner world/dava, in his poems, the place, which both the poet sees as the area of belonging and possesses the Muslim Song society, with the aim of criticizing the realities of the country. In this study, the places identified in the poems of the actionist poet Mehmet Akif of the case of possession of Islamic culture and civilization with its main lines were gathered under three main titles; it was assessed that they were trying to reflect through these places in general. The places in the poems of the poet can be classified as holy and idealised places, the "satisfactory places" he depicts with a naturalist Nazareth, and the Muslim Song geography in the state of the carrier of the Islamic country. As a result, the poet’s all places in his poems have been found that he preferred to remind Muslims of their responsibilities, to interpret the Islamic values, to realize their objectives of converting them by criticism.

Abstract:

One of the important elements which strengthen the bond of a literary work with life is the place and its description. In literary works, the concepts of space and description have special significance in terms of reflecting the connection of the text with reality, as well as contributing to the expression of the artist's inner world, as well as conveying his criticisms and values. In the poems of Mehmet Âkif Ersoy (1873-1936), who witnessed the value change and cultural break with his poems from the last years of the Ottoman Empire to the transition period to the Republic of Turkey, the concept of space was also reflected in his poems, acting both as projector and the carrier of the poet's inner world, combined with the goal of criticizing, changing the realities of the Muslim Orient society, which he himself sees as the place of belonging. In this study, the places identified in the poems of Mehmet Âkif Ersoy, the action poet embraced with the goal of protecting the Islamic culture and civilization, are examined under three main headings; it is evaluated that they try to reflect from particular to general through these spaces. The places in poet’s poems can be ranged from the sacred, idealized places to the "imperfect places" which the poet describes with a naturalist view and lastly the Muslim Orient geography, representing the carrier of the Islamic ideal. It is reached to the conclusion that Mehmet Akif Ersoy preferred all the places in his poems with an intention of reminding the responsibilities of the Muslims in the society, inculcating Islamic values and transforming them by criticizing. .
