Düşkünlük Makamı (Ritual and Moral Exclusion)

In this video, the institution of düşkünlük in the Alevi path is examined. Düşkünlük is not merely a punishment, but a mechanism aimed at safeguarding the shared moral ground of the community. The video invites reflection on how this tradition can be translated into contemporary conditions and how it transforms the relationship between the individual and the community.

This recording was made on 10–11 May 2025 at the Dortmund Alevi Cultural Center (DAKME), within the Rıza Şehri Academy, as part of the Pirler–Analar Workshop organized for the Alevi Encyclopedia project.
