| Popis: | Throughout Turkish history, some organized attempts were made from time to time within the scope of translation activities, and these activities were carried out through state-organized societies, delegations, committees, or offices. Both the initiatives made in the Ottoman period and some translation activities after the proclamation of the Republic were conducted within the framework that we can describe as institutionalization from modern-day perspective, and various translation studies were put forward. It is purposed in this study to examine the Translation Office, one of the institutions established by the managers of the period so as to carry out translation studies in the past, in a multi-dimensional aspect. The Translation Office was observed with its administrative, cultural, economic, political, or ideological dimensions, and it was examined whether the existing structure can be used as an institutional model for translation in the relevant context. In the study, initially, the definition of institutionalization was presented through a general framework and discussed through the above-mentioned dimensions, and some evaluations were conducted on the necessity of institutionalization in translation activities. Then, the organizational structure of the Translation Office was analyzed in terms of the period when it showed its existence. Finally, an answer was sought to the question of whether the obtained data can provide an institutional model in the context of translation. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that the Translation Office can be a model for institutionalization in translation in terms of management and functioning. However, when evaluated on the basis of the sustainability principle, it was observed that it could not fulfill modern-day institutionalization requirements for various reasons, and it was seen that it did not fully represent as an institutional model for this reason. |
