Geleneksel kültürde, erkeklerin kamusal hayatta en gözle görülebilir alanlarından biri kahvehanelerdir. Kahvehaneler ortaya çıkmalarından bu yana, erkekler için, mekân olmalarının çok ötesinde sosyalleşme alanları olmuştur. Her ne kadar geçmişte erkeklerin toplaşma mekânları olarak anılsa da araştırmamızı yürüttüğümüz mekân örneği olarak İstanbul Fatih'teki “Deliler Kahvehanesi” kadınların, erkeklerin ve çocukların toplaşma mekânı özelliğini sergilemektedir. Bununla birlikte kahvehaneler ilk kuruluşlarından bu yana farklı adlarla ve amaçlarla kurulmuştur. Bu bağlamda bireyler arasında anlam pratikleri yaratarak, boş zamanın vazgeçilmez temsillerini oluşturmuşlardır. İşlik ve evlik arasında sığdırılmış yaşama alternatif bir dokuyla eklemlenmişlerdir. Aynı zamanda kahvehaneler, kuşaklar arası hafızanın üretilmesinde ve sonraki nesillere aktarılmasında etkilidirler. Öyle ki bugün bile sözü edilen mekânlar ve bu mekânlar içerisinde varlık kazanan kültür, yerleşik bir alışkanlıkla, gündelik hayatta bireyler için “ayrıcalıklı olma” iddiasını üzerinde taşımaktadır. Araştırmamız kapsamında ele aldığımız kahvehane ise bu ayrıcalıklı olma iddiasını, yardımlaşma kültürü üzerinden kurgulamaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı hafıza kuramı ile kahvehane olarak adlandırılan mekâna katılan bireyleri nitel araştırma tekniği olan görüşmeyi esas alarak incelemek ve şu sorulara (yer yer sondaj sorularla da destek vererek) yanıt bulmaktır: İnsanlar kahvehanelere hangi anlamı vermektedir? Geçmişe ait hangi etkenler insanların bu mekânlara katılımını artırmaktadır? Çalışma, geleneksel kültürde birlikteliğin yalnızca soyut bir gösterge olarak hafızada var oluşunu değil aynı zamanda sosyal alanda nesnel görünümlerini insanların dayanışma ve sosyalleşme deneyimlerini ele alarak ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır.
In traditional culture, coffee houses are one of the most visible areas of men in public life. Since the emergence of coffee houses, they have been socialization areas for men, far beyond being only spaces. Although it is referred to as the men's gathering places in the past, the "Madmen Coffee House" (the word 'mad' is used to describe the diversity of participants) located in Fatih district of Istanbul, which is the main focus of our research, exhibits the place of women, men and children. However, coffeehouses have been established for different names and purposes since their first establishment. In this context, they created the indispensable representations of the free time by creating meaningful practices among individuals. They are articulated with an alternative texture to the life that is fit between the work and the house. At the same time, coffeehouses are effective in producing and transferring generations of memory to subsequent generations. Furthermore, even the places that are mentioned today and the culture that is being gained within these places carry on the claim of "privileged" for individuals in everyday life with a built-in habit. The coffeehouse, which we are exploring in our research, is building this privilege claim through the culture of beneficiary. The aim of this study is to examine the individuals who participate in the "coffee house" by using memory theory on the basis of the quality research technique and to find answers to the following questions by interviewing the participants: What do coffee houses mean to people? What factors in the past increase the participation of people in these places? The study aims to reveal that the union in traditional culture is not only present in memory as an abstract indicator, but also in the social sphere by addressing the people’s experiences of solidarity and socialization.
