| Sumario: | It is known that their traditional religion, different social layers and geographical conditions were effective factors during Turk's conversion to Islam. With the islamization process, sunni tradition was dominant among Turks in general. However, we see that "Alevi" and "kızılbaslık" was/were effective among some of the Turkish tribes as well who came to Anatolia through time. In fact, it is claimed that the traditional Alevism which emerged between eleventh and fifteenth centuries, has been institutionalized in sixteenth century with the Safavid's effects and has taken it's final form in nineteenth century. Presently, the beliefs and the practices of Alevism is still there in different areas in each regions of Anatolia such as the village of 'Haçova'. In this village, Alevism beliefs and practices such as cem, matem fasting, ocak and "muhasiplik" are still there and they are being transferred to the new generations. This ethnographical field research has been done at Haçova village in the year of 2014 and the data obtained with interviewing and participant observation methods has been analyzed from the perspective of history of religions. |
