Abstract

The injustices that have become plural and ambiguous have been tried to be transformed, sometimes by violent acts and sometimes by nonviolent civil disobedience actions. However, civil disobedience used against these injustices that are tried to be corrected is often perceived as a non-violent method that does not use force. In this sense, nonviolence is considered to be passive and unsuccessful compared to acts of violence. However, nonviolence is not a state of non-use of force. Nonviolence is a method that tries to change the other side without using physical force. In this context, in our study, it was discussed that nonviolence is a method that uses force, not purely pacifism and inactivity. At the same time, it is argued that nonviolent actions, which transform the social structure positively and which are welcomed by the social structure, are a more defensible method rather than the violent actions that are reversed by the social structure.

ŞİDDETLİ DİRENİŞLERE KARŞI ŞİDDETSİZ BİR YÖNTEM OLARAK SİVİL İTAATSİZLİK

Abstract

Çoğullaşan ve muğlaklaşan haksızlıklar bazen şiddet içeren eylemlerle bazen de şiddetsiz sivil itaatsizlik eylemleri ile dönüştürülmeye çalışılmıştır. Ancak düzeltilmeye çalışılan bu haksızlıklarda kullanılan sivil itaatsizlik, çoğu zaman güç kullanmayan şiddetsiz bir yöntem olarak algılanmaktadır. Bu anlamda şiddetsizliğin, şiddet kullanan eylemlere göre pasif ve başarısız olduğu düşünülür. Ancak şiddetsizlik, bir güç kullanmama durumu değildir. Şiddetsizlik, fiziksel bir güç kullanmadan karşı tarafı değiştirmeye çalışan bir yöntemdir. Bu bağlamda çalışmamızda şiddetsizliğin tamamen bir pasifizm ve hareketsizlik olmadığını güç kullanan bir yöntem olduğu ele alınmıştır. Aynı zamanda toplumsal yapı tarafından ters tepilen şiddet içeren eylemlerden ziyade toplumsal yapıyı pozitif bir şekilde dönüştüren ve toplumsal yapının olumlu karşıladığı şiddetsiz eylemlerin daha savunulabilir bir yöntem olduğu tartışılmaktadır.
