Özet:

Memory, which is one of the distinctive features of human beings, does not only establish its relationship between its present and its past; It also plays an important role in shaping the future. Memories, which have a separate place in the memory, appears as a metaphor for taking an attitude against forgetting, which does not only draw the image of a visual and auditory form. On the other hand, the psychological image of the time in which people live causes the restructuring of memories of the past. Man, who reveals the image of himself as a subject between his perception and memory, will thus continue to live together with what he has in his mind. Mehmet Rauf's story “Uzaktan”, which was first serialized in Servet-i Fünûn and then included in İhtizar, can be described as an early story that represents the artistic conceptions of the Servet-i Fünûn generation, both in terms of the year it was published and in terms of its handling of the subject. The story, written in the form of a letter from Nail's pen, who escaped from his current unhappiness and took refuge in his past lives, has an exceptional place, with its structure, showing this re-meaningful personality of man. In this sense, the process that Nail went through was interpreted from a psychoanalytic point of view, and the meaning-making effort of the person who tried to make his desire whole was examined. The relationship between memory and writing, how self-perception and desire play a role in the separation between subject and object has been shown. In the article, the hero's unhappiness and the joy sought in the past will be examined with the perspective of psychoanalytic literary theory.
