Özet:

Cultural memory represents the memory provided by society from generation to generation. There are a lot of things that can be done to ensure that the culture is transmitted. One of the most important factors is the place. Specifically for cultural productions that develop depending on a particular place, the place is an important place because it both hosts culture and provides a suitable environment for the transition. In this study, the place of the tomb places believed to belong to Yunus Emre is questioned in the transfer of Yunus Emre cultural memory from generation to generation. Yunus Emre (1240/41-1320/21) is an important person who has penetrated many areas of Turkish culture, such as literature, art, history and music. In the 13th century, the name came to the 20th century of science. It has existed until the century in limited written sources with its poems and poems about it, and in a widespread verbal cultural environment. From the 20th century to the present day, many academic studies have been subjected. The subject of where the grave of Yunus Emre is one of the unanswered areas of Yunus Emre works. In Turkey there are 13 tomb places believed to belong to Yunus Emre: Afyon (Sandyklı), Aksaray (Ortaköy district Tapdık village and Reşadiye village), Bursa (Yıldırım), Eskişehir (Mihalıçık), Erzurum (Palandöken), Isparta (Keçiborlu, Gönen and Güneykent), Karaman (Central), Konya (Doğanhisar), Manisa (Kula) and Ardu (Ünye). It is believed by the people of that place that the tomb places belong to the judgment of Yunus. The possession of the cemetery places often causes disputes between these provinces. This article has been discussed for a century but remains unanswered "Where is the true tomb of the Order of Yunus?" The question is: "What is the place of these tomb places, which are believed to belong to the Order of Yunus, in the cultural transfer?" The question is put in place. First of all, according to the field work carried out in the Yunus Emre tombs between 2017-2019 years, the current state of the places and cultural productions were provided. According to the data obtained from the field work, it was questioned how the cultural memory of Yunus Emre was lived in these places and what the role of these tombs in the cultural transfer. According to this, the translation of culture in the tombs of Yunus Emre was seen in the narrative, ritual and space size. The continuation of Yunus Emre’s widespread presence in the narrative environments causes the verbal memory to need space to safeguard itself. It has been found that the places that appear in the form of the tomb is a memory place, which provides an appropriate environment for the formation of stories and rituals. It appears that each place, according to its geographical location and conditions, creates its own unique stories, visit rituals and practices in the days of memorial, performs the function of living the cultural memory of Yunus Emre and transferring from generation to generation. The productions of Yunus Emre in the written culture are preserved by writing, while the productions in the oral culture are preserved, lived and transmitted in the tomb places that are presented to him and owned by the people.
