Özet
İnsanoğlu yaratılıştan beri içinde yaşadığı çevreyi tanıma, yorumlama ve anlamlandırma arzusunda olmuştur. Efsaneler; insanoğlunun tabiat olaylarını, mimari yapıları, toplumsal olayları yorumlama ve anlamlandırma amacı doğrultusunda ortaya çıkmış sözlü edebiyat hazinelerindendir. Tarihî süreç içerisinde çeşitli sebeplerden dolayı dünyanın farklı yerlerine göç eden Türkler, yeni yurtlarına inançlarını ve kültürlerini de taşıyarak bunları yer adlandırmalarında kullanmışlardır. Yeni yurtlarındaki mimari yapıları ve coğrafi unsurları adlandırırken yeni efsaneler de oluşturarak onlara yeni bir ruh ve kimlik kazandırmışlardır. Üretilen toponimik efsaneler coğrafyanın vatanlaştırılmasına büyük katkı sağlamıştır. Bu bağlamda, coğrafi olarak birbirinden uzak, son yüzyıllarda farklı tarihî süreçlerden geçmiş, farklı siyasi sınırlara ve yaşam şartlarına sahip olan Kırgız Türklerinin Burana Kulesi ve Türkiye Türklerinin İstanbul Kız Kulesi etrafında oluşturdukları efsanelerdeki benzerlikler oldukça dikkat çekicidir. Söz konusu çalışmada; Kırgızistan’daki “Burana Kulesi” ve Türkiye’deki “İstanbul Kız Kulesi”nin öncelikle tarihî, işlevsel ve mimari özellikleri ele alınmıştır. Bu mimari eserlere atfedilen efsaneler metin merkezli kuramlardan değişken ve değişmezleri esas alan yapısal çözümleme yöntemi ve bağlam merkezli kuramlardan işlevsel halkbilim yaklaşımı çerçevesinde incelenerek olay örgüsü, içerik ve şahıs kadrosu açısından karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu iki efsanedeki benzerlik ve farklılıkların hangi sebeplerden kaynaklanmış olabileceği; göç, kültür ve halk anlatısı olguları arasında ilişki olup olmadığı ve bu efsanelerin aynı ana kaynaktan beslenip beslenmedikleri tartışılarak açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.
Since humans were created, they had sought to recognize, interpret and conceptualize the environment in which they had been living. Legends are treasures of oral literature that have appeared for the purpose of interpreting and understanding natural phenomena, architectural structures, and human social events. During the historical process, the Turkic peoples, because of various reasons, migrated to different parts of the world. They carried their beliefs and cultures to their new homeland and used them in place naming. While naming the architectural structures and geographical elements in their new homelands, they also created new legends, giving them a new spirit and identity. Thus, toponymic legends made a great contribution to the nationalization of the geography. In this context, despite geographical remoteness and passing through the different historical processes in the last century, different living conditions and political borders, the similarities in the legends about the Burana Tower in Kyrgyzstan formed by Kyrgyz Turks and the Maiden’s Tower in Istanbul of the Turks of Turkey are quite remarkable. In this study, the historical, functional and architectural features of the “Burana Tower” in the Chui region of Kyrgyzstan and the “Maiden’s Tower”in Istanbul, Turkey were discussed. The legends attributed to these architectural works were compared in terms of the plot, content and typology. They were analysed from text-centered theories based on variables and invariants in the comparison between texts by the method of structural analysis and context-centered theories within the framework of the functional folklore approach. In this study it has been tried to explain the probable reasons of the similarities and differences in these two legends; whether there is a relationship between migration, culture and public narrative facts; it is discussed whether these legends are fed from the same main source.
