Modernleşme Sorunsalı Çerçevesinde Yahya Kemal'in Şiirinde Musiki.

Yahya Kemal (1884-1958), one of the founding figures of Modern Turkish poetry, played a significant role as a poet and intellectual in the establishment of the Republic of Turkey. In addition to his contributions to literature, he wrote articles during the years of the Turkish War of Independence and later held active positions in the state structure. The period spanning from 1908 to 1958, during which he produced his own works, represents a period in which the newly established Republic of Turkey continued its efforts for development while looking to Western civilization as a model. This article will examine Yahya Kemal's position within the context of the Turkish Music Revolution, which is one aspect of the modernization process in Turkey. Firstly, it will address Yahya Kemal's perspective on the concept of 'modernity' and its relationship with the prevalent understanding of the era. Subsequently, it will discuss the ideas that paved the way for the Turkish Music Revolution and how this revolution was implemented. Furthermore, it will employ a text-focused analysis method to explore the theme of 'music' in Yahya Kemal's poetry. Additionally, reference will be made to his writings related to music and transcribed speeches. The article will demonstrate that Yahya Kemal did not view Classical Turkish music as "Eastern music" but rather embraced it as a national music closely connected to the Turkish homeland and nation. His belief in the necessity of preserving traditional Turkish music within the modernization process will be elucidated through his poetry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
