Abstract

The concepts of fabrics and clothing mentioned in the verses of the Diwan poetry contribute to enriching our understanding of the social culture of that period, society’s preferences in clothing, and the aesthetics of fashion in the daily life of the Ottoman society. Fabrics and clothing are prominent symbols that reflect the economic status and cultural identity from a social perspective, in addition to being decorative elements. Clothing represented specific social classes, professional groups, and even genders. At times, these garments were associated with the professions they symbolized. The quality, color, shape, and patterns of the fabric contribute to revealing the social and cultural environment of the person wearing the garment, as well as their spiritual state, worldview, social status, and economic condition—all without the need for verbal expression.

In classical poetry, poets reflect their vision of the era they live in through the words and metaphors used in their verses, presenting a comprehensive image of that period to future poets and generations. When studying Yakini’s Diwan in this context, it becomes clear that the poet accurately depicts the outward appearance of society in the 16th century in his poems.

In this study, the complementary elements (accessories) of fabrics and clothing mentioned in Yakini’s Diwan will be analyzed in detail.

ÖZET

Divan şiirinde beyitlerde adı geçen kumaşlar ve giyime dair kavramlar dönemin sosyo-kültürünü, toplumun giyim tercihlerini, Osmanlı toplumunun günlük yaşamdaki moda estetiğini anlamamıza katkıda bulunur. Kumaş ve kıyafetler, giyim eşyası olmasının yanında toplumsal açıdan ekonomik durumu ve kültürel kimliği yansıtan önemli sembollerdendir. Kıyafetler, belirli sosyal sınıfları, meslek gruplarını ve cinsiyetleri sembolize etmiştir, hatta bazen bu kıyafetler temsil ettikleri meslek gurubuyla özdeşleşmişlerdir. Giyilen kumaş kalitesi, rengi, şekli, motifi o kıyafeti giyen kişinin kendini sözlü olarak ifade etmeden geldiği sosyal çevreyi, kültürünü, kendi ruh dünyasını, dünya görüşünü, sosyal statüsünü, ekonomik durumunu yansıtması açısından bulunduğu ortama ipuçları verir. Klasik şiirimizde şairler beyitlerinde kullandıkları kelime ve metaforlarla dönemine bir vizyon sunarken kendinden sonra gelecek olan şairlere ve nesillere de yaşadığı döneme dair bir portre sunar. Yakînî’nin divanını bu minvalde ele aldığımızda şair, 16. yy’daki toplumun dış görünümünü şiirlerinde başarılı bir şekilde betimler. Çalışmamızda; Yakînî’nin divanındaki kumaşlar, kıyafetler ve kıyafetlerin tamamlayıcı unsurları(aksesuarlar) divandaki beyitlerde ele alınış şekliyle detaylı olarak incelenecektir.
