@article{2019,title={THE INVESTIGATION OF NAMIK KEMAL’S NAZİRES},abstractNode={Tanzimat Reform Era is among the milestones of changes and conversion. Namık Kemal who is one of the pioneers of this conversion era, is one of the leading models of this period of pursuits. He starts writing the poem through nazires, bases his poetry upon these nazires and also, he does never abandon the nazire writing. As a part of Encümen-i Şuara committee, Namık Kemal has written nazires for the poems of not only Ottoman poets and committee poets but also other poets of the period. In his nazires, Namık Kemal resorts to a method that develops his poesy, rather than apery. Many of the researchers do not dwell upon his Ottoman poetry. However, these poems that are described as apery and failure play an important role in him being a leader in national poetry. Namık Kemal, whose nazires have the features of novelty, dissimilarity and success in ways of expression, has been successful in becoming one of the prominent poets of the period called the period of pursuits. In the present study, Namık Kemal will be investigated with his Ottoman poetry and the sources that improves his literal background will be examined. First of all, the poems for which he has written the nazires will be analyzed by focusing on the place where he has been among the committee poets. Other poems and Namık Kemal’s poems will be compared in terms of the nazire writing, what is different in his nazires from usual ones and the changes will be explained. This comparison is expected to shed light on the future research with respect to the current situation of Ottoman poetry and the changes that has happened to those poems.},author={Ahmet USLU},year={2019},journal={Turkish Studies - Language and Literature}}
