:''For the 1975 film, see Köçek (film). Not to be confused with Čoček.'' The köçek (plural ''köçekler'' in Turkish) was typically a very handsome young male ''rakkas'', or dancer, who usually cross-dressed in feminine attire, and was employed as an entertainer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Music, Identity, Gender: Çengis, Köçeks, Çöçeks )〕 == Roots == The Turkish word is derived from the Persian word ''kuchak'', meaning "little", "small", or "young", which itself is the Persian pronunciation of the Turkish word ''küçük'', "little".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=köçek )〕 The culture of the köçek, which flourished from the 17th to the 19th century, had its origin in the customs in Ottoman palaces, and in particular in the harems. Its genres enriched both the music and the dance of the Ottomans.〔 The support of the Sultans was a key factor in its development, as the early stages of the art form was confined to palace circles. From there the practice dispersed throughout the Empire by means of independent troupes.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Köçek」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
