Özet:

 Banditry, which removes forcibly safety of life and goodsproperty by various methods, including gun, is a phenomenon that is seen during periods when public authority is shaken.

 Silah başta olmak üzere çeşitli yöntemlerle zor kullanarak can ve mal emniyetini ortadan kaldıran eşkıyalık, kamu otoritesinin sarsıldığı dönemlerde görülen bir fenomendir. Bu itibarla tarihin farklı dönemlerinde farklı coğrafyalarda merkezi otoritenin güçsüz düştüğü bunalımlı zamanlarda eşkıyalık hareketlerinin ortaya çıkıp yaygınlaştığı bilinmektedir. Sosyal eşkıyalar ise halkın adi suçlulardan ayırıp suçlarındangünahlarından arındırarak farklı bir kategoride ele aldığı ve icra ettikleri misyonla halk kahramanı statüsüne yükselttikleri figürlerdir. Bu çalışmada İngiliz tarihçi ve yazar Eric Hobsbawm tarafından ortaya atılıp sistematik bir şema ile ortaya konulan sosyal eşkıya kalıbı mahallî bir halk kahramanı olarak görülen Urfalı Nezifin biyografisine uyarlanmıştır. Sosyal eşkıyalığın ortaya çıkış zeminine uygun bir bağlam ve dönemde yaşayan Urfalı Nezifin hayatı incelendiğinde Hobsbawmın ortaya koyduğu modelle uyuştuğu tespit edilmiştir. Hobsbawmın sosyal eşkıyalar için kullandığı kitapların resmi tarihinden bağımsız olarak hatırlanan bir tarihe ait ifadesi Nezifin bu çalışmaya konu edilmesinin temel gerekçesidir. Sözlü kaynaklardan derlenen halk anlatıları yoluyla toplumsal bellekte yaşamaya devam eden Urfalı Nezif; ortaya koyduğu spesifik adalet ölçüsü, gerçekleştirdiği eylemler ve toplumun adalete olan özlemini dindiren sembol olarak bir sosyal eşkıyadır. Çalışmada Urfalı Nezifin hayatının sosyal eşkıyalığın alt başlıkları bağlamında incelenip değerlendirilmesi yapılmıştır.
