Anadoluculuk
Anadoluculuk (about "Anatolism") is the Turkish name for Anatolian nationalism, a variety of Turkish nationalism .
Anadoluculuk emerged as an intellectual movement in the aftermath of the First World War , at the time of the break-up of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey . Well-known representatives were the philosopher Hilmi Ziya Ülken and the historian Mücrimin Halil Yinanç , both of whom published the magazine Anadolu Mecmuası , which served as a forum for the current. Other important representatives included Remzi Oğuz Arık and Cevat Şakir . The supporters or representatives of Anatolian nationalism were called Anadolucular . Some researchers consider the Anadolucuk to be the constituent ideology of the young Republic of Turkey.
The Anadoluculuk was based on the assumption that the country, the geographical conditions and the history exerted the formative influence on the education and character of a nation and ranked above religion and language in establishing identity. Anatolian nationalism thus formed the opposite pole to the currents of Turkism , Turanism , Ottomanism and Pan-Islamism . The representatives of Anadoluculuk also criticized these currents and reproached them for being utopian because they lacked a concrete basis, namely a common fatherland. Fuat Hacısalihoğlu differentiates between nationalistic, Islamic and humanistic tendencies of the Anadolucuk in his work.
