Tekke Köyü (Elmalı, Antalya), un village bektachi dans le Taurus occidental.
Résumé
Three monographic articles about Tekke Köyü (Elmalı, Antalya), a bektashi village in southwest Turkey, where Abdal Musa’s mausoleum is the only remain of a prestigious bektashi convent (tekke), destroyed after 1826. The villagers are mostly peasants, cultivating the fields and apple orchards all around the village. In a region of yörük (semi-nomadic) settlement, where the alevi populations are generally tahtacı, or from Abdal minority, Tekke Köyü’s strong bektashi identity seems quite singular. The author, an ethnomusicologist, presents the ethnographic context of the study, describing the village’s ritual, musical and institutional life. The cem, or birlik (unity), offered by two members to the community, is based on the twelve services (hizmet), as in alevi communities, but it is mostly a meal, preceded and followed by ritual dance (semah), and accompanied by hymns. The religious authorities (baba) are elected by its members (talip), except the two mürşid (guides), who received their diploma (icazet) from a dedebaba. The authors during their fieldwork (2003-15) witnesses many debates concerning the village’s organization, spiritual authority, with several levels of division/duality (ikilik): kinship, nature of religious authority (by lineage/by election), inside (bektashi)/outside (alevi).
