This paper will examine the transformation dynamics of social change in
Kurdish Alevi communities, while mostly focusing on the increasing sociopolitical
and religious role of talips. Until the end of the 20th century, the
socio-religious structure of Kurdish Alevis was dominated by two hereditary
social positions, much like a caste system: on the one hand, the members
of the sacred lineages (ocaks), who embody the religious authority, and on
the other hand, the talips who are subordinated to the sacred lineages. This
socio-religious structure provided a framework for Kurdish Alevi socioreligious
organisations.
