Abstract

Ontolojik güvenlik kısmen illiberal ve popülist hareketlerin yükselişinden dolayı Avrupa çalışmalarında ayırt edici ve baskın bir konu haline gelmiş bu konu pek çok siyasi polemik ve tartışmaya nüfuz etmiştir. Bu konuyu araştıran makale, Avrupa'da ontolojik güvenliğin kökenlerini ve dönüşümlerini belli bir ölçüde ele almaktadır. Çalışma kaygı, kayıtsızlık ve korkuyu incelemek amacıyla ilk olarak ontolojik güvenliğin teorik yansımalarını ele almaktadır. İkinci bölüm, Batı Avrupa tarihinde siyasete ve siyasi kurumlara kayıtsızlıkla karakterize edilen belirli bir bölüme odaklanmaktadır. Son bölüm, Avrupa toplumlarının belirli kesimlerinin ekonomik durgunluğun yanı sıra kültür ve kimlik krizlerinin ardından yaşadığı tedirginlik ve kaygıya değinmektedir. Bu tartışmalar ışığında makale, ontolojik kaygılar ile popülist, aşırılıkçı veya aşırı milliyetçi olarak görülen belirli hareketler arasındaki ilişkinin doğasını araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada populist hareketler ile ontolojik güvenlik arasında güçlü bir bağ olduğu fikri üzerinde durulmuştur

FROM INDIFFERENCE TO ANXIETY: TWO ONTOLOGICAL SECURITY NARRATIVES

Abstract

Ontological security has become a distinctive and dominant issue in European studies, partly due to the rise of illiberal and populist movements, and European pursuits and security dilemmas have permeated many political polemics and debates. Exploring this issue, the paper tackles the origins and transformations of ontological security in Europe to some extent. The study first broaches the theoretical repercussions of ontological security, with a view to examining its relation to anxiety, indifference and fear. The second section focuses on a particular chapter in Western European history that is characterized by indifference to politics and political institutions. The final chapter refers to unease and angst that certain segments of European societies have experienced following the economic recession, as well as culture and identity crises. In light of these discussions, the article aims to explore the nature of relationship between ontological concerns and certain movements labelled as populist, extremist or ultra-nationalist. In the study, the idea that there is a strong link between populist movements and ontological security is emphasized.
