This study dwells on the perception and characterization of the concept
of Late Medieval in European historiography. Medieval European history has been
divided into three parts as a result of the institutionalization of medieval
scholarship and the tendency of the historians to subdivide the medieval period
into small pieces for making broad generalizations about their specific fields.
While the standards of division change according to scholarly conventions and
ideological motivations, the subdivision of the medieval into early, high and
late medieval periods has been commonly accepted. Therefore, Late Medieval
European history has been somewhat neglected through its identification with
the concepts such as “crisis” and “transition”. This article will argue that
the historians should rediscuss the Late Medieval within the scope of the
concepts such as “crisis”, “transition” and “transformation”. In this sense, it
suggests that Late Medieval period should be evaluated in continuity with High
Middle Ages and Renaissance. On the one hand, such a general evaluation of the
paradigm of Late Medieval Decline will provide us with a new approach to
examine Medieval European history. On the other hand, it will be a modest
contribution to a rethinking of historical periodization.
Bu
çalışma Geç Ortaçağ tarihi kavramının Avrupa tarihçiliğinde nasıl algılandığı
ve tanımladığı üzerinde durmaktadır. Ortaçağ tarihçiliğinin kurumsallaşması ve
tarih disiplini içinde bir dönemin alt alanlara bölümlenmesi neticesinde
Ortaçağ tarihi de üç parçaya ayrılarak araştırma nesnesi haline getirilmiştir.
Ayrıştırma ölçütleri tarihçilik geleneklerine ve ideolojik motivasyonlara göre
değişiklik göstermekle birlikte Erken, Yüksek ve Geç Ortaçağ dönemlendirmesi
genel kabul görmüş ve Geç Ortaçağ kriz ve gerileme gibi kavramlarla
özdeşleştirilerek biraz ihmal edilmiştir. Bu makale, Geç Ortaçağ’ın “kriz”,
“geçiş” ya da “dönüşüm” kavramları etrafında sosyo-ekonomik ve siyasi
tarihçilik bağlamında genel olarak nasıl değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini
tartışacak Geç Ortaçağ’ı sosyo-ekonomik ve siyasi tarih açısından, kopuş veya
kriz olarak değil, Rönesans ile
süreklilik içinde değerlendirmeyi önerecektir. Geç Ortaçağ Gerileme
Paradigmasına ilişkin yapılacak olan tartışma ve genel değerlendirmeyle bir
yandan Geç Ortaçağ Avrupa tarihine yeni bir perspektifle bakmak, diğer yandan
da tarihsel dönemlendirmeyi yeniden düşünmek üzerine mütevazı bir katkı
sağlamak amaçlanmaktadır.
