Tanpınar Dictionary - Symbols of a Personal Tale Book Description: Those who read Tanpınar's novels or theoretical texts encounter an author who creates his own symbols and uses them consistently. Many of these are everyday words. In order to create this dictionary that reflects his own mythology, Tanpınar first empties the meanings and forms of certain signs and then fills them in again in accordance with his own metaphysics. Thus some simple signs become symbols. When the pieces of such a dictionary come together, the contours of a personal tale emerge. When these symbols meet, the temperament of a writer and thinker becomes visible. By reading only Tanpınar's texts, Özgür Taburoğlu tries to save him from the crowd of comments that obscure his work. In this way, he takes himself out of the circle of interpretation into which he is habitually drawn. Leaving aside the ideas, personalities, ideologies, biographies with which he is understood together, and the fondness attributed to him, he pays attention directly to the thoughts and feelings, meanings and forms presented by his work. In this work, which can be read as both a dictionary and an essay, Taburoğlu includes approximately three hundred symbols belonging to the author and thirty In the subsection he explains in connection with each other: Reflection, universe, axulamel, space, line, thing, individual, move, movement, light, woman, machine, landscape, imagination, music, plastic, dream, color, soul, orient, shape, luck. , narration, composition, coincidence, general, member, conscience, place, time and pleasure.
