Dergâh (Turkish: Dervish lodge) was a literary magazine which was published during the final days of the Ottoman Empire in Istanbul from 1921 and 1922. This period witnessed the occupation of Istanbul by the Western forces and also, the Independence War.

History and profile

Dergâh was started in Istanbul in 1921 by Yahya Kemal and Ahmed Haşim.[1] The former also served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine.[2] Its first issue appeared on 15 April 1921, one month after the Allied forces declared the occupation of Istanbul.[3] The magazine came out biweekly.[4]

Major contributors of Dergâh included Hasan Ali Yücel and Abdülhak Şinasi who were adherents of the symbolist poetry.[2] Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar, a leading Turkish novelist, started his literary career in Dergâh.[2][5] The following writers and journalists also contributed to the magazine: Halide Edib Adıvar, Nurullah Ataç, Falih Rıfkı Atay, Fuat Köprülü, Ziya Gökalp[3] and Hilmi Ziya Ülken.[6] Future politician Fevzi Lütfi Karaosmanoğlu started his journalistic career in the magazine.[7] All these writers were supporters of the Independence War due to which some issues of the magazine were censored by the Allied administration.[3][8] They also supported the ideas of the French philosopher Henri Bergson, and the magazine became the mouthpiece for his Turkish followers.[9][10] It was among the early Turkish periodicals which covered articles on folklore.[11]

Dergâh folded on 5 January 1922 after producing a total of forty-two issues.[3][12]
