ABSTRACT Objects of everyday life spinning out of control occupy an important place in modern Turkish narratives. From the prodigal sons of the first Turkish novels to the shanty town dwellers of contemporary Istanbul narratives, many characters suffer from the same malady: an inability to master, possess, and derive pleasure from objects, and a tendency to be menaced by them even as they fall under their spell. This tension between subjectivity and the everyday world of objects constitutes a prominent thematic structure in modern Turkish narratives and Tanpınar is pivotal for considering its significance and formal repercussions. His works register the cultural traumas of modernization and Westernization through his characters’ impotence in their practical, symbolic, and affective relations with objects that dominate them. They also propose and perform certain modes of aestheticizing everyday life as an antidote to this impotence. The purpose of this article is to delineate how Tanpınar’s novels dramatize crises of personhood in relation to objects and what these crises might reveal about the affective dimensions of “belated modernity.” Such a consideration underlines the importance of cultural and historical contextualization in object-oriented criticism.

“如果有一天事情变得疯狂怎么办？”：坦皮纳尔现代主义的不羁对象

摘要 日常生活中失控的物体在现代土耳其叙事中占有重要地位。从第一部土耳其小说的浪子到当代伊斯坦布尔叙事中的棚户区居民，许多人物都患有同样的疾病：无法掌握、占有并从物体中获得乐趣，并且倾向于受到它们的威胁，即使他们陷入了他们的魔咒。主体性与日常客体世界之间的这种张力构成了现代土耳其叙事中一个突出的主题结构，而坦皮纳尔是考虑其重要性和形式影响的关键。他的作品通过他的人物在与支配他们的对象的实际、象征和情感关系中的无能为力，记录了现代化和西化的文化创伤。他们还提出并执行某些将日常生活审美化的模式，以作为对这种阳痿的解毒剂。这篇文章的目的是描述坦皮纳尔的小说如何戏剧化与客体相关的人格危机，以及这些危机可能揭示“迟来的现代性”的情感维度。这种考虑强调了面向对象批评中文化和历史语境化的重要性。
