In Turkish literature, setting has been perceived as a fundamental element in the short story genre, alongside characters and events, and has been addressed within the context of the period's perception. In terms of the function of stories on humans, the memory of setting is interpreted in a way that allows for new perspectives, going beyond mere recollection, through an evaluation of understanding, perception, interpretation, innovation, and philosophical and personality organization (psychoanalytical). The concept of human memory provides the possibility of renewal and construction of the new through remembrance, facilitated by space. Places confront us with what we have forgotten through association or evocation in human memory. Space revives memory and helps narrate the past through its relationship with memories. The possibilities of space objectifying memory by storing and preserving sensations, experiences, perceptions, impressions, feelings, understandings, and the ability to recall and re-enact memories in humans are revealed. Space has become a dynamic structure that recalls different interpretations and memories. This study examines stories published between 1923 and 1940, during the Early Republican Period, and discusses them in the context of the poetics of space using selected examples from the stories. In addition to recognizing the various reflections of space, the objectification of memory and the integration of space, the subject of memory, with the memories stored in memory will be revealed. Our study will also serve as a resource to assist in future studies on stories and space.
