BİR TOPLUMSAL HAREKET OLARAK GEZİ DİRENİŞİ:SÜREKLİ OLANI ARAMAK

Gezi Parkında gerçekleştirilmesi planlanan kentsel dönüşüm projesine yönelik kitlesel tepki ve protestolar haziran ayının başından itibaren ulusal çaplı bir isyan hareketine dönüştü.Bu toplumsal hareketin sosyolojisi ve ekonomi politiğine dair analizlerin yanı sıra, bu kitle seferberliğini toplumsal hareketler yazınının birikimi doğrultusunda da incelemek gerekir. Söz konusu yaklaşım toplumsal hareket aktörlerinin siyasal strateji ve söylemlerine odaklanarak bu hareketlerin ortaya çıkış, gelişim ve sönümlenmelerine dair kavrayışımızın gelişmesine önemli katkılar yapmıştır. Bu yazıda, Gezi protestolarında yaygın olarak başvurulan çatışmacı siyaset pratiklerinin daha önceki halk hareketlerinde ne ölçüde kullanıldığına bakarak, bu kitle seferberliği sürecini bir süredir içinde bulunduğumuz bir protesto döngüsünün bir momenti olarak anlatmak amaçlanmaktadır.

Resistance at Gezi Park as a Social Movement: Looking for Continuities

The mass reaction against the urban development project targeting Gezi Park turned to be anall around revolt from the beginning of June onwards at the national scale. This upheaval mustbe analyzed with the tool kit of the social movements literature besides evaluations focusingon its sociology and economy politics. This literature contributed greatly to our understandingof the emergence, development and disappearance of mass mobilization by concentrating onthe political strategy and discourse adopted by the social movement actors. This piece aims tocontextualize this contentious episode as a historical moment of a current cycle of protest by comparing its repertoire of contention with the recent mass actions.
