Güven(ce)sizliğin Temsili: Simon Stephens’ın Pornography Adlı Oyunu
Son yıllarda, akademisyenler, yazarlar ve eleştirmenler ‘tehlikeli durum/risklilik, tehlikeli olma ve güvencesizlik’ gibi kavramlar üzerine yoğunlaşmaya başladılar. Bu terimler çoklu bağlamda sanayileşmeden toplumsal sınıfları, aile ilişkilerini, siyaseti, göçü, içbağımlılık yanında ötekileşmeyi, belirsizliği, güvensizliği ve hiyerarşikleşmeyi içine alan çok yönlü kavramları ve modern toplumu dönüşüme uğratır. Yediden bire doğru gerileme gösteren düzende numaralandırılan, hiyerarşik yapıda olmayan yedi sahnesiyle, bağımlı, belirsiz ve güvenilir olamayan karakterler Stephens’ın Pornography (2007) oyununda yansıtılır. Bu bağlamda, terrorizmin, terrörle mücadelenin etkileri, yaşam ve ölüm koşullarının kaygıları, şiddetin ve öteki yüzün kötümser vizyonuyla bağlantılı olarak Simon Stephens’ın oyunu çalışılacaktır.
REPRESENTING PRECARIOUSNESS: SIMON STEPHENS’S PORNOGRAPHY
In recent years, scholars, writers and critics have started to focus on the terms such as precariousness, precarization and precarity. These terms traverse modern society and multiple contexts including industrial and social classes, family relations, politics, migration, otherness as well as interdependency, uncertainty, insecurity and hierarchization. With its non-hierarchical seven scenes, numbered in descending order from seven to one, dependent, uncertain and untruthful characters are represented inStephens’s play Pornography (2007). Within this context Simon Stephens’s is being studied in relation to the effects of terrorism, the war on terror, the concerns of certain lives and death, pessimistic vision of violence and face of the other.
