Özet:

 There are many negative narratives and myths about the Ottoman Empire among Balkan societies. Anti-Ottoman narratives and myths were constructed with the aim of creating a national identity and were intentionally placed in the collective memory of the Balkan nations. The study examines narratives and myths related to the Ottoman-Turkish image in the national memory of Croatia, as a Balkan country. The Ottoman Empire did not rule over all of Croatian territory, but rather took control of certain areas in the eastern part of Croatia and the Dalmatian coast for a relatively short period of time. Despite this, the Ottoman-Turkish image occupies an important place in Croatian national memory, especially in traditional celebrations, folk literature, and religious rituals. In this context, two events that have been traditionally celebrated in Croatia for centuries were examined. These two events are celebrated in the cities of Đurđevac and Sinj. The common feature of the events is that they have transformed the struggle against the Ottoman Empire into a narrative and myth based on imaginary elements. In nation-building, narratives and myths play an important role in developing a common identity and sense of belonging. Narratives and myths bring society together in creating the origins, history, cultural values and heroes of a nation, and also provide political and cultural legitimacy in the establishment of the nation. Also narratives and myths glorify, idealize and often distort historical realities, creating a common consciousness. In the study, it was tried to explain how narratives and myths were constructed in the process of creating the Croatian nation through two events celebrated in the cities of Đurđevac and Sinj. The study was designed within the framework of a qualitative approach and for data collection process case study design was followed.

 Balkan toplumları arasında, Osmanlı Devletiyle ilgili çok sayıda olumsuz anlatı ve mitler vardır. Osmanlı karşıtı anlatı ve mitler, siyasal ulusal bir kimlik oluşturulması amacıyla kurgulanmış ve bilinçli olarak Balkan uluslarının kolektif hafızasına yerleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, bir Balkan ülkesi olan Hırvatistanın ulusal belleğinde yer alan Osmanlı-Türk imgesine ilişkin anlatılar ve mitler ele alınmıştır. Osmanlı Devleti, Hırvat topraklarının tamamına hükmetmemiş, nispeten kısa denebilecek bir süre Hırvatistanın doğu bölgesinde ve Dalmaçya kıyılarında yer alan belirli yerleri yönetimi altına almıştır. Buna rağmen Hırvat ulusal belleğinde, Osmanlı-Türk imgesi yoğun biçimde geleneksel kutlamalarda, halk edebiyatı ürünlerinde ve dinsel ritüellerde önemli bir yer işgal etmektedir. Bu kapsamda Hırvatistanda geleneksel olarak yüzyıllarca kutlanagelen iki etkinlik incelenmiştir. Bu iki etkinlik Đurđevac Curcevaç ve Sinj Sinye kentlerinde gerçekleşmektedir. Etkinliklerin ortak özelliği, Osmanlı Devletine karşı verilen mücadeleyi hayali öğelerden yola çıkarak bir anlatı ve mit haline gelmiş olmalarıdır. Ulus inşasında anlatı ve mitler, toplulukların ortak bir kimlik ve aidiyet duygusu geliştirmesinde etkin bir rol oynar. Anlatı ve mitler, bir ulusun kökenini, tarihini, kültürel değerlerini ve kahramanlarını yaratmada toplumu bir araya getirir, ayrıca ulusun tesis edilmesinde siyasi ve kültürel bir meşruiyet sağlar. Ulus inşasında anlatı ve mitler, tarihsel gerçeklikleri yüceltir, idealize eder ve çoğu zaman bunları çarpıtarak ortak bir bilinç yaratırlar. Çalışmada Đurđevac ve Sinj kentlerinde kutlanan iki etkinlik aracılığıyla Hırvat ulusunun yaratılması sürecinde anlatı ve mitlerin nasıl kurgulandığı açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma, nitel bir yaklaşım çerçevesinde tasarlanmış ve veri toplama sürecinde durum çalışması deseni takip edilmiştir.
