Sahnede Robotlaşma

Bu çalışmanın amacı, posthümanizm felsefesi ışığında robotik bedenlerin konumunu sorgulamak ve bu bedenlerle ilişkisine göre insanların yeniden tanımına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra, bu çalışmada hedeflenen bir diğer nokta artık hayatın pek çok alanında karşımıza çıkan robotların varlığını tiyatro sahnelerinde izleyip robotların sahne sanatlarındaki yerini de tartışmaktır. Dahası, tiyatro sahnelerinde ve konser salonlarında bir süredir karşımıza çıkan robotik bedenlerle karşı karşıya kalan ve bu bedenler vasıtasıyla insanlığın özüne ve süregelen konumuna ulaşan insanların insanlığını kaybetme korkusunun ve endişesinin nedenlerini de ortaya koymaktadır. Bu endişelerin kaynağının insan merkezli bakış açısıyla şekillenen felsefi akımlarla çizilmiş Üstün İnsan algısı olduğunu da gösteren bu çalışma, insanın aslında ne olduğunun robotlar da dâhil olmak üzere pek çok eyleyiciyle ilişkisine göre yeniden anlamlandırılması gerektiğinin altını çizmektedir.

Robotization on Stage

This article aims to question the position of robotics and contribute to redefining humans based on their relationships with robotics within the framework of posthumanism. Apart from this, the article further analyzes the place of robots, which humanity is now facing in most of the areas in daily life, by tracing their existence in performance art and on stage. Moreover, this article grasps the essence and ongoing condition of humans through the robotic bodies that have been encountered for some time on theatre stages and in concert halls, thereby underscoring the human fear and anxiety over losing one’s humanity when faced with such bodies. Showcasing how the perception of human superiority as shaped by a human-centered perspective lies at the root of these anxieties, this article underlines the necessity to reconceptualize what being human actually means through humans’ entangled relationships with a number of agents, including robots.
