There have been five different settings that at one time or another
have contained the dead body of Mustafa Kemal AtatA1/4rk, organizer
of the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1923) and first president
of the Republic of Turkey. Narrating the story of these different
architectural constructions - the bedroom in DolmabahAe Palace,
Istanbul, where he died; a temporary catafalque in this same
palace; his funeral stage in Turkey's new capital Ankara; a
temporary tomb in the Ankara Ethnographic Museum; and his permanent
and monumental mausoleum in Ankara, known in Turkish as 'Anitkabir'
(Memorial Tomb) - this book also describes and interprets the
movement of AtatA1/4rk's body through the cities of Istanbul and
Ankara and also the nation of Turkey to reach these destinations.
It examines how each one of these locations - accidental, designed,
temporary, permanent - has contributed in its own way to the
construction of a Turkish national memory about AtatA1/4rk. Lastly,
the two permanent constructions - the DolmabahAe Palace bedroom and
Anitkabir - have changed in many ways since their first appearance
in order to maintain this national memory. These changes are
exposed to reveal a dynamic, rather than dull, impression of
funerary architecture.
