Bu makale, doğanın materyalliğine ilişkin teorik bir yeniden kavramsallaştırmayı analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, bu çalışma özellikle bir kavram olarak doğanın iki politik sorununu gündeme getirmektedir. İlk sorun, doğanın materyalliğini mekanik bir kavram olarak tasvir eden ve doğanın tahakküm altına alınmasıyla sonuçlanan modern doğa kavramıdır. İkinci sorun ise, doğanın materyalliğini söylemin bir işlevi olarak sunan postmodern doğa kavramıdır. Bu açıdan doğa diye bir şey yoktur; doğa politiktir. Bu makale, Deleuze ve Guattari'nin Kapitalizm ve Şizofreni adlı eserlerine dayanan eleştirel bir posthümanist perspektiften türetilen bir panzehir sunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, posthümanist yaklaşımdan hareketle doğayı bir yaşam üretim süreci olarak gören bir içkinlik etiği oluşturan yeni bir doğa materyalliğini savunuyorum. Doğa, tüm yaşamın ortaya çıktığı, dinamik bir üretim sürecini temsil eden bir düzlemdir.

Nature-Life Fusion Through Deleuzian-Guattarian Posthumanism

Öz

This article aims to analyze a theoretical reconceptualization of the materiality of nature. To this end, this study raises two political problems of nature, specifically as a concept. The first problem is the modern concept of nature, which depicts its materiality as a mechanical concept, resulting in the domination of nature. On the other hand, the second problem is the postmodern concept of nature, which presents its materiality as a function of discourse. In this respect, there is no nature; it is political. This article presents an antidote derived from a critical posthumanist perspective based on the works of Deleuze and Guattari, Capitalism and Schizophrenia. In this context, I advocate a new materiality of nature that constitutes an ethics of immanence and sees nature as a process of life production from the posthumanist approach. Nature is a plane where all life emerges, representing a dynamic production process.
