Publication: Feridun Kandemir: hayatı, eserleri ve fikirleri (1895-1977)
Abstract
Feridun Kandemir (1895-1977), Türkiye Cumhuriyeti tarihinin incelemeye değer pek çok sayfasını görünür kılmış, verdiği eserlerle bunları hem kendi dönemi hem de sonrası için incelemeye açık hale getirmiştir. Döneminin dinamik ve değişken karakterine uygun bir hayat yaşayan Kandemir, bu özellikleri eserlerine de yansıtmıştır. Dolayısıyla hem yaşadığı devre, hem de bu devreyi farklı bir açıdan ele alan eserleri nedeniyle incelenmeyi hak etmektedir. Henüz hakkında yapılmış bir akademik çalışma bulunmaması konuyu cazipleştirmekle birlikte, araştırmacılar açısından zorluklar da içermektedir. Kandemir, bir dönem yapmış olduğu devlet görevleri yanında hayatının çeşitli devrelerinde gazeteci, yazar, yayımcı ve popüler tarihçi gibi değişik rolleri de üstlenmiştir. Özellikle yakın tarihimiz açısından kaynak sayılmayı hak edecek eserlere sahiptir. Bu eserlerin bir kısmı, konusunda ilk ve tek olma niteliklerini taşımaktadır. Kandemir, Atatürk ya da İnönü gibi dönemini şekillendiren öncü bir şahsiyet olmasa da, 1916 yılında Hande dergisi ile girdiği basın dünyasına vefatına kadar yaklaşık altmış yıl katkı sağlamış ve bilhassa tarihçiliği yönüyle ayrı bir yer edinmiştir. Bu çalışmada da popüler tarihçiliği ön plana çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında öncelikle Feridun Kandemir’in hayatı çeşitli dönemleri ile ele alınmış, daha sonra da gazete ve dergilerde yayımlanan yazıları değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca kitaplarından bazıları tanıtılarak geniş özetleri verilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonunda Kandemir hakkında çeşitli gazeteci ve yazarların kısa görüşleri ve ulaşılabildiği kadarı ile bibliyografyası eklenmiştir.
