ABSTRACT In Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’s novel A Mind at Peace, Nuran plays a central role as the beloved and provides the title for one of the four chapters, yet, much like the female characters in Tanpınar’s other works, receives little critical attention. This article examines Nuran through her femininity, maternalism, and heritage as the representation of a changing cultural and social identity tied to the Ottoman past but focused on the future. While Mümtaz, the male protagonist, inhabits a juvenile or deferred present, Nuran is rooted in the present through her multifaceted female identity and maintains a conflicted connection to the past and to her progeny through her family’s legacy, the “Song in the Mahur Mode.” This discord manifests in Nuran’s maternal duty to protect her daughter Fatma, who also bears the inheritance and emerges as Mümtaz’s main rival for Nuran’s affections. Nuran’s choice to pursue a transgressive relationship within the structure of her familial fate posits a feminine and cyclical alternative to the historical and aesthetic nostalgia of Mümtaz.

“我不是护士！”：A Mind at Peace 中的女性气质、母性主义和传统

摘要 在艾哈迈德·哈姆迪·坦皮纳尔 (Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar) 的小说《和平的心灵》(A Mind at Peace) 中，努兰 (Nuran) 作为心爱的人扮演着核心角色，并为四章之一提供了标题，然而，就像坦皮纳尔 (Tanpınar) 其他作品中的女性角色一样，几乎没有受到批评。本文通过她的女性气质、母性主义和传统来审视努兰，将其视为与奥斯曼帝国过去相关但关注未来的不断变化的文化和社会身份的代表。虽然男主角 Mümtaz 生活在一个少年或被推迟的现在，但 Nuran 通过她多方面的女性身份植根于现在，并通过她家族的遗产“Mahur 模式之歌”与过去和她的后代保持着相互冲突的联系。 ” 这种不和体现在努兰保护女儿法特玛的母性责任上，他也继承了遗产并成为穆姆塔兹在努兰的感情方面的主要竞争对手。Nuran 选择在她的家族命运结构中追求一种越轨关系，这为 Mümtaz 的历史和美学怀旧提供了一种女性化和周期性的替代方案。
