TARİHSELCİLİK-TARİHSİCİLİK [HISTORICISM]: BİR MİMARLIK TERMİNOLOJİ TARTIŞMASI VE 2000’LER TÜRKİYE’SİNDE TARİHSİCİ MİMARLIK

A TERMINOLOGY DISCUSSION ON TARİHSELCİLİK-TARİHSİCİLİK [HISTORICISM] IN TURKISH ARCHITECTURAL LITERATURE AND HISTORICIST ARCHITECTURE IN 2000s TURKEY

Abstract

The word “historicism” has mostly been translated as “tarihselcilik” in Turkish architectural history writing and criticism. However, “tarihsicilik” can also be used in the translation of the word “historicism”. This article begins by defining the two terms “tarihselcilik” and “tarihsicilik”, which can be helpful to differentiate the different approaches of “historicism”. Following these discussions on historicism in Turkish architectural history writing and criticism, the article then suggests that the term “tarihsici”, which has been largely neglected, should be used to define the architectural products of Turkey especially in the first decade of the 21st century in which historical references were largely used to produce new architectural forms.

Key Words: Historism, Historicism, Turkish Architectural Historiography, Turkish Architecture in the early 21th century.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Historizm, Historisizm, Tarihselci, Tarihsici, Türkiye Mimarlık Tarih Yazımı, 21. Yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde Türkiye’de Mimarlık.
