“…Sedangkan bahasa Turki Ottoman lebih banyak digunakan untuk mengurus masalah birokrasi dan administrasi. Bahasa ini kemudian berhenti digunakan setelah pemerintah Turki di bawah kepemimpinan Ataturk melarang penggunaan alfabet Arab dan menggantinya dengan alfabet Latin pada 3 November 1928 (Yazan & Uzum, 2016).…”

Since the nineteenth century, social and humanities sciences had been predominantly dominated by Western scholars. Many Western scholars traveled to Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, gathering data from local sources in order to develop theories from their perspectives. Unfortunately, those theories were uncritically accepted by local scholars, applied in local cases and problems. The domination of social and humanities sciences by Western academia attracts "Third World" scholars to criticize it. They urge local scholars to decolonize Western-centric theories and concepts which have been imitated and applied in local problems without criticism. In this article, the author investigates the role of Sains Terbuka (Open Science) on decolonizing humanities science in Indonesia and Turkey. The author only observes history science as a case study rather than investigating all branches of social and humanities sciences. In this article, the author uses descriptive-analytic method through the historical approach, gathering data from literature and scientific journals to analyze attempts of Indonesian and Turkish scholars to oppose Western Centric theories and concepts. Author also explains that the rise of digital-based history sources plays a vital role in supporting the decolonization of knowledge and Sains Terbuka in Turkey and Indonesia. This research collects several online and digital-based history sources, such as the Khastara National Library of Indonesia collection and ISAM Library collection that have been often used by Indonesian and Turkish historians for their research. In this article, the author argues that open access of digital sources is highly important for historians to gather myriad data in local languages, encouraging them to create new theories and concepts that are free from Western Centric views.

“…In addition, the AKP sought to encourage the learning of Ottoman Turkish in schools through the Ministry of National Education, suggesting and sometimes even requiring the offering of Ottoman Turkish classes to high school students. The Ottoman Turkish became subject to reform via the Atatürk's 1928 Turkish Language Reform, which replaced the Arabic alphabet with the Latin and changed Arabic and Persian lexical and syntactical elements by a new one, then considered to be Turkish (Yazan & Üzüm, 2016). With that change, Atatürk aimed to distance Turkish national identity from the Ottoman one with deeply rooted Arabic and Persian influence.…”

“…Such measures generated controversy around AKP’s supposed interest in Ottoman language, culture, and values primarily because Ottoman Turkish is not spoken anymore except for academic ends. The proposal faced opposition from the Kemalists, who considered the measure a movement to change Atatürk's language reform and Turkish national values (Ongur, 2015; Yazan & Üzüm, 2016).…”

This article aimed to analyze the ascension of Justice and Development Party-Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP)in Turkey and its political measures regarding both Islam and the country's Ottoman past, in order to comprehend the party's role in a potential shift of Turkish national identity and in Turkey's relationship with the Middle East. The article does this through a content analysis of decrees, laws, and other measures taken by the AKP that emphasizes its cultural and religious policies, as well as revisiting literature produced about the subject. Analyzing Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's government during his time as Prime Minister (2003-2014), two noteworthy features come to light: its Islamic influence and its so-called neo-Ottomanist outlook.However, this article argues that besides an identity-and ideology-based motivation, the AKP had pragmatic intentions in adopting such approaches, aiming to gather support both domestically and regionally.

“…Ancak dil reformu ve Öztürkçeleşme hareketiyle beraber Osmanlı ile tarihsel bağlantıların koparılması nedeniyle Türk dil ve kültüründe bir kırılma noktasının yaşandığı konusunda çekinceler de öne sürülmüştür (Yazan ve Üzüm, 2016:8-9, 12). Özellikle 1980'lerin ortasından itibaren Yeni-Osmanlıcılık hareketinin yeniden güç kazanması sonunda Türklüğün Osmanlı-İslam geleneğinin devamı olarak inşa edilmesi sürecine girilmiş ve Osmanlıca yeniden teşvik edilmiştir (Yazan ve Üzüm, 2016).…”

“…Çevirmenlerin dil koruyucusu imajını inşa eden İsrailli çevirmenler halk arasında konuşulmayan, yazı dilinde varlığını sürdüren eski bir dilin yeniden canlandırılması çerçevesinde hareket etmiştir. Türkiye'de ise çevirmenler tam tersine yönetici elitin yazı dili olarak kullandığı Osmanlıcanın (Darling, aktaran Yazan ve Üzüm, 2016: 3) yerine çoğunluğun konuştuğu dil olan Türkçe'yi edebi, bilimsel ve düşünsel bir yazı dili olarak geliştirme ve koruma politikaları çerçevesinde faaliyette bulunmuştur. Dolayısıyla Türkiye'de çevirmenler kendilerini sadece halk dilinin koruyucusu olarak değil, bu dile yenilik getiren ve bu dili biçimlendiren kişiler olarak da görmektedir.…”

ÖzÇeviribilim araştırmaları genellikle çevirmenlerin toplum içindeki görünmez, sessiz, ikincil konumuna dikkat çekmiştir. Ancak son dönemlerde farklı ülkelerde yapılan araştırmalar çevirmenlerin statülerini geliştirmek ve itibarlarını arttırmak için çalışmalarda bulunduğunu göstermiştir. Söz konusu araştırmalar ışığında, hemen her meslek grubunun üyeleri gibi Türkiye'deki çevirmenlerin de toplumdaki statülerini yükseltmek istediğini kabul edebiliriz. Bu çalışma Türkiye'deki edebiyat çevirmenlerinin, meslekleri ve faaliyetleri hakkında konuşarak, toplumda hakim olan olumsuz imaja karşı mücadele ettiğini göstermektedir. Çalışma 1980'lerden günümüze kadar edebiyat çevirmenlerinin söylemlerini çözümleyerek alandaki statülerini geliştirmek ve saygınlıklarını arttırmak için giriştikleri "kimlik müzakerelerine" ışık tutmaktadır. Çözümlemenin sonunda çevirmenlerin alanda simgesel sermayelerini arttırmak için a) ulusal dilin biçimlendiricisi ve koruyucusu, b) kültür girişimcisi ve yenilik taşıyıcısı, c) kendine has sanatçı gibi kimlikler inşa ederek kendilerini anonim meslektaşlarından ayırt ettiği anlaşılmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Çevirmen, Kimlik Müzakeresi, Ortak Kimlik, Sermaye. AbstractResearch on translation studies has generally drawn attention to the invisible, silent and secondary status of translators in the society. However, the recent studies conducted in the different countries have revealed that translators endeavour to develop their status and improve their prestige. In the light of these studies, it is possible to claim that similar to the members of almost any occupational group, the translators in Turkey as well intend to increase their status in the society. This study displays that the literary translators in Turkey struggle against the negative image predominant in the society by talking about their profession and practices. Analyzing the discourse of the literary translators from 1980s up till today, this study casts light upon their "identity negotiations" so as to increase their status and improve their prestige. On the basis of the analysis, this study argues that the literary translators distinguish themselves from their anonymous colleagues to increase their symbolic capital by constructing identities as a) shaper and protector of the national language, b) cultural initiator and trendsetter, and c) artist on his/her own right.
