Abstract

Çalışmamızda yaşadığı dönemlerin önemli şahsiyetleri olan Mevlâna ve Benjamin Franklin'in eserlerinde aile kavramı üzerine söylenmiş atasözleri ele alınmaktadır. Mevlâna'nın Mesnevî adlı eseri ile Franklin'in Poor Richard's Almanack adlı eseri bu çalışmada kullanılan temel eserlerdir. Kültürün ayrılmaz parçaları olarak görülen atasözleri her iki eserde de yoğun olarak kullanılmıştır. Bu makale ile aile kavramına atasözleri üzerinden karşılaştırmalı bir çalışma ile ışık tutulması planlanmaktadır. Aile kavramı ile ilgili atasözleri tartışılırken, daha çok karı-koca, kadın-erkek, anne-baba, çocuklar, evlilik ve sevgi gibi aileye ilişkin sözcükler detaylı olarak incelenmektedir. Bahsi geçen iki tarihi şahsiyetin özellikleri, görev ve sorumlulukları ele alınırken kullanılan atasözlerindeki olumlu ve olumsuz yönler karşılaştırılmaktadır. Akabinde kadın, erkek ve aile ilişkileri irdelenirken, her iki toplumun bu ilişkilere bakışlarındaki önemli noktalar gün yüzüne çıkartılmaktadır. Atasözleri ve kültür farklılığını konu alan bu çalışmanın Türk ve Amerikan kültürü ile ilgili çalışmalara katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir.

Reflecting the Concept of Family in Turkish and American Societies through Proverbs: The Masnavi and Poor Richard’s Almanack

Abstract

In this study the proverbs on the concept of family in the works of Mawlana and Benjamin Franklin, important personalities of their time, are analyzed. Mawlana's The Masnavi and Franklin's Poor Richard's Almanack are the main texts used in this study. Proverbs, which are seen as inseparable parts of culture, are widely used in both works. With this article, it is planned to shed light on the concept of family with a comparative study through proverbs. While the proverbs about the concept of family are discussed, the words related to the family such as husband-wife, woman-man, mother-father, children, marriage, and love are examined in detail. The positive and negative aspects of the proverbs used when dealing with the characteristics, duties and responsibilities of the two historic figures are compared. Subsequently, while examining the relations of women, men, and family, light is shed on the important points in the views of both communities on these relations. This study, which deals with proverbs and cultural differences, is expected to contribute to studies on Turkish and American culture.
