Özet:

 Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar 1901-1962, a prominent poet and author of the Turkish Republic era, has vividly demonstrated both his rich cultural accumulation and his significant artistic depth through his poems, novels, stories, essays, and letters. Esteemed for his contribution to the history of Turkish literature and culture, Tanpınar has endeavored to reflect the flow between the past, present, and future in his works with a unique intellectual sensitivity, adopting a holistic approach to time. Attempting to address the crisis, cultural loss, and the conflict between material and spiritual values experienced by the Turkish society since the Tanzimat Reform Era, Tanpınar, inspired by Bergsons concept of time, sought to heal these with a unified understanding of time. His work stands out for the character of an independent, unbiased, yet responsible intellectual. This study aims to elucidate how Tanpınar approached these discussed themes specifically in the context of the city of Bursa, drawing from the places and personalities mentioned in the section Time in Bursa of his work. Tanpınar narrates these locales and figures not merely as an accumulation of information but as part of the historical periods he attempts to convey, portraying them with a vividness as if living among them, which further reveals his unbroken emotional and sentimental connection to Bursa. The city occupies a significant place in Tanpınars perception of time. Furthermore, this analysis will also touch upon the elements of historical continuity centered around places and personalities in the poem Time in Bursa, sharing its title with the book section, thereby highlighting Tanpınars identity as a poet.

 Türk edebiyatında Cumhuriyet devri şair ve yazarlarından olan Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar 1901-1962 kaleme almış olduğu şiirleri, romanları, hikâyeleri, denemeleri, mektuplarıyla hem sahip olduğu zengin kültür birikimini hem de önemli bir fikrî derinliğe uzanan sanatkârane üslubunu somut bir şekilde ortaya koymuştur. Bu yönüyle Türk edebiyat ve kültür tarihinde değerli bir yer edinen Tanpınar, zamana olan bütüncül yaklaşımıyla mazi-hâl-istikbâl arasındaki akışı eserlerinde özgün bir aydın hassasiyetiyle yansıtmaya gayret etmiştir. Türk toplumunun Tanzimattan beri yaşadığı buhranı, kültür kaybını, maddî-menavî değerler arasındaki çatışmayı Bergsonun zaman anlayışından ilhamla yekpâre bir zaman kavramı anlayışıyla tedavi etmeye çalışan Tanpınar; bağımsız, önyargısız bununla birlikte sorumlu bir aydın karakteriyle ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, buraya kadar zikredilen hususların yazar tarafından Bursa şehri özelinde nasıl ele alındığı, eserde yer alan Bursada Zaman adlı bölümde yer verilen mekânlar ve şahsiyetlerden yola çıkılarak açıklanmaya çalışılacaktır. Tanpınar bu yer ve şahsiyet adlarını salt bir bilgi yığını halinde değil kendisini de anlatmaya çalıştığı tarihi dönemlerin bir parçası şeklinde, adeta yaşayarak, içeriden bir karakter gibi hikâye etmektedir. Bu özellik de onun Bursa ile gönül ve duygu bağını hiç koparmadığını, muhayyilesindeki zaman algısı içerisinde Bursa şehrinin daima önemli bir yer işgal ettiğini de göstermektedir. Ayrıca bu açıklamalara ilave olarak, her şeyden önce şair kimliğiyle de ön plana çıkan Tanpınarın kitaptaki bölümün adıyla aynı ismi verdiği Bursada Zaman adlı şiirinde yer alan mekân ve şahsiyet eksenli tarihi devamlılık unsurlarına da temas edilmeye çalışılacaktır.
