Abstract

Stereotype is a macro contextual factor that guides the content and process of identity formation, and a driving force for identity development. Ethnic stereotype, in its simplest terms, is an unjust generalization about an ethnic group by a trait attribution. From this perspective, this article examines the role of ethnic stereotypes in the formation of the Turkish image. It is argued that, in the period between the 16th and 18th centuries, various European writers and observers’ evaluations regarding Turks were not due to prejudice or prejudgment, but could be interpreted within the framework of ethnic stereotypes. In this article, the orientalist perspective is evaluated as an epistemology that produces and aestheticizes an ethnic stereotype about the Turks. This article aims to create an awareness about the production of more analytical approaches in social sciences by the distinction of the concepts of stereotype, prejudgment and prejudice.

Özet

Kalıp yargı, kimlik oluşumunun içeriğini ve sürecini yönlendiren makro bağlamsal bir faktör, kimlik gelişiminin ise itici bir gücüdür. Etnik kalıp yargı ise, en yalın ifadesiyle, bir etnik grup hakkında onlara bir özellik atfedilerek haksız yere yapılan genellemedir. Bu perspektif ile bu yazıda etnik kalıp yargıların Türk imgesinin oluşum sürecindeki rolü sorgulanacaktır. 16. ve 18. yüzyıllar arası dönemde kimi Avrupalı yazar ve gözlemcilerin Türklere ilişkin çeşitli değerlendirmelerinin, genel kanaatin aksine bir önyargı ya da peşin hükümlülükten kaynaklı olmadığı ve fakat etnik kalıp yargılar çerçevesinde yorumlanabileceği savunulmaktadır. Bu yazıda oryantalist bakış açısı, Türklere ilişkin etnik bir kalıp yargı üreten ve onu estetize eden bir epistemoloji olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bu makale, kalıp yargı, peşin hükümlülük ve önyargı kavramlarının ayrıştırılarak sosyal bilimlerde daha çözümleyici yaklaşımlar üretimi konusunda bir farkındalık yaratmayı amaçlamıştır.
