Bağımsızlık Öncesi Dönemde Tunus’ta Milliyetçi Hareket ve Din İlişkisinin Etnosembolcü Bir Yaklaşımla Değerlendirilmesi (1911-1956)

Bu çalışma, din ve milliyetçilik arasındaki ilişkiyi Fransız protektora yönetimi döneminde Tunus’ta gelişen bağımsızlık hareketi üzerinden ele almaktadır. Milliyetçilik alanında yapılan çalışmalarda öne çıkan ilkçi (primordialist) ve inşaacı (constructivist) yaklaşımlardan farklı olarak etno-sembolcü bir yaklaşım benimseyen bu çalışma, Tunus’ta milliyetçi harekete önderlik eden liderlerin dini sembolleri kullanarak bir ulus-devlet kurmayı amaçladığını ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma bu bağlamda, bağımsızlık öncesi dönemde etkili olan ideolojik ve siyasi mücadeleler ışığında milliyetçi hareketin din konusundaki tutumunun anlaşılabileceğini savunmaktadır. Tunus’ta milliyetçi seçkinlerin kendi ideolojik ve siyasi hedeflerine ulaşmak için dini sembolleri araçsallaştırdıklarını vurgulayan bu çalışmada, etno-sembolcü yaklaşımın milliyetçilik alanındaki diğer yaklaşımlardan daha kapsamlı bir bakış açısı sunduğu iddia edilmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Assessment of The Relation of Nationalist Movement and Religion in Tunisia in the Pre-Independence Period from An Ethnosymbolic Approach (1911-1956)

This study examines the relationship between religion and nationalism through the independence movement in Tunisia during the French Protectorate. This work, which adopts an ethno-symbolic approach unlike primordia list and constructivist approaches that have emerged in these studies of nationalism, reveals that the leaders who lead the nationalist movement in Tunisia aim to establish a nation-state by using religious symbols. In this context, the study argues that the attitude of the nationalist movement on religion can be better understood in the light of the ideological and political struggles that are effective in the pre-independence period. Emphasizing that nationalist elites in Tunisia instrumentalize religious symbols to reach their goals, it is claimed that the ethno-symbolic approach offers a more comprehensive view than any other approach in the field of nationalism.
