John O'donoghue

Abstract

Bugün, modern toplum mülteci figürüne nasıl bakıyor? ‘Mülteci’nin insani bir çözüm gerektiren mağduriyeti temsil ettiğini söyleyebilir miyiz? Yoksa kapitalizmin somutlaştırdığı mutluluk için umutsuz bir arzuyu resmeden bir ötekiliği mi temsil etmektedir? Ve bir ideolojik sermaye ürünü olarak mülteci tasviri nedir? Bu makale ‘mülteci’ konusunun, başlangıcından itibaren nasıl göründüğünü ve kimlik aracılığıyla vatandaşın kendi imgesini nasıl etkilediğini ele almaktadır. Bu çalışma bir diğer yandan, tipik bir mültecinin anatomisini dikkatle incelemek için modern siyasetin, bilimin ve psikolojinin kullanımına ve ayrıca bir dışlama aracı olarak kullanımına bakmaktadır. Freud, Singer ve Baudrillard gibi yazarlarla birlikte felsefe, psikanaliz ve kültürel teorinin bakış açılarından, bu makale herkesin mutluluğu için mültecinin farkında olmayarak nasıl kapitalist gündemin parçası haline geldiğini kavramaya çalışmaktadır.

The Refugee as Ideological Capital

Abstract

How does modern society look at the figure of the refugee today? Can we say that the refugee represents the victimhood that requires a humanitarian answer? Or does it represent an otherness that portrays a desperate desire for happiness that capitalism embodies? And what of the figure of the refugee as a product of ideological capital? The present article approaches the topic of the refugee from its inception, how it is viewed, and how the refugee has impacted the citizen’s image of itself via identity. It also looks at the use of modern policy, science, and psychology to dissect the anatomy of a typical refugee and also its use as an instrument to exclude. From the viewpoints of philosophy, psychoanalysis and cultural theory with authors such as Freud, Singer, and Baudrillard, this article attempts to grasp how the refugee inadvertently becomes part of the capitalist agenda for the happiness of all.
