Aydin yöresi tahtacilarinda düğün gelenekleri: Bayrak dikme-tapi/sahabi-baş kurbani-barişma yemeği-ocak kazma ritüelleri
Özet
Cultural diversity and richness reveal the differences of societies from past to present and are tried to be transferred to future generations in their simplest form. Scientific studies and literature acquisitions in the literature are the legacy and natural inheritance of future generations in the light of certain principles that make oral cultural elements inherited from the past written in the light of science. The Tahtaci community, who has been trying to keep their traditions alive for centuries in a wide geography starting from the east of the Mediterranean and extending to the northern Aegean, have transmitted their culture and cultural heritage from generation to generation in their purest form whenever possible. The community's unique birth, wedding, death, entertainment, ceremony etc. having succeeded in conveying their traditions from Central Asia to the present with a closed society structure, their rituals have been passed down from generation to generation through master-apprentice teachings, as far as possible by the leading guides, scholars and cultural ambassadors of the Tahtaci community. It is an important hypothesis of this study that the scientific researches of the traditional approaches of the Tahtacis of Aydın region before the wedding, during the wedding and after the wedding are unique. Another important aspect of the research is the observation of Tahtacis' wedding ceremonies regarded as living verbal culture, tradition and original rituals, and the scientific analysis of traditions with prominent people belonging to that community. The data in this study were collected by literature review, observation and structured interview method. Field research has been conducted in Tahtaci' villages of Aydın province, namely Alamut, Dutluoluk, Yeniköy and Yılmazköy. The data obtained were then analyzed and evaluated in the findings section of the research. © 2020 Ankara Haci Bayram Veli University. All rights reserved.
