Abstract

21. Yüzyılda yükselen kültürel üretim, şu ana kadar birçok farklı disiplinden araştırmacıların tartışma konusu olmuştur. Bu yeni kültürel üretimin kendine has doğasını anlamak adına, kimi araştırmacılar duygulanım kavramına yeni yaklaşımlar geliştirirken, kimileri ise yeni samimiyet dalgasına dikkat çekmişlerdir. Bu çalışma, ileri sürdüğü “mikrofaşizme dönüş” kavramıyla mevcut tartışmaya katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamakta ve kapitalizmin son evresinin,“yeni modern an” olarak adlandırdığı çağdaş anı nasıl şekillendirmekte olduğunu anlayabilmek için mikrofaşizme dönüşün anlaşılması gerektiğini savunmaktadır. Bu çalışmaya göre, mikrofaşizme dönüşle olumsuz duygulanımların yoğunlaştırılmasından çok sempati gibi olumlu duygulanımların yoksunlaştırılması günümüzde direniş ve devrimci hareketleri için en büyük tehdidi oluşturmaktadır. Bu düşünce doğrultusunda, bu çalışma mikrofaşizme dönüşü sempati sorunsalıyla olan ilişkisi bağlamında ele almayı ve Ian McEwan’ın Cumartesi romanını inceleyerek bu yeni duygu yapılarının çağdaş romandaki yansımalarını göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır.

NEW MODERNISM, OR, THE CULTURAL LOGIC OF CERBERUS-CAPITALISM AND THE TURN TO MICROFASCISM: CRIPPLED SYMPATHY IN IAN MCEWAN’S SATURDAY

Abstract

The emergent cultural production in the 21st century has increasingly become a subject of debate among scholars from different disciplines. To grasp its nuances, some scholars have called for a renewed attention to affect while others have pointed to a new current of sincerity. This paper attempts to contribute to the existing debate by proposing an alternative term, “the microfascistic turn”, and argues that the turn to microfascism begs for closer scrutiny to understand how the latest stage of capitalism shapes and reshapes the contemporary moment, or what it calls “the new modernist moment”. It further suggests that with the microfascistic turn, it is not the intensification of negative affects but the flattening of sympathy that has begun to pose the biggest threat to the possibilities of resistance and revolutionary action today. This article seeks to explore the microfascistic turn in its relation to the question of sympathy, and show its projection in contemporary fiction by delving into Ian McEwan’s Saturday (2005).
