Hikâyeler İçinde Hikâyeler: Gazze’de Bitmemiş Savaşı Okumak

Öz

Bu makale, eleştirmenlerin devam eden Gazze çatışmasında vaktinden önce kesin yargılarda bulunma eğilimine karşı çıkmaktadır. Çalışma, analitik sonuçlandırmada acele etmenin ciddi bir metodolojik hata olduğunu savunmaktadır. Edebiyat kuramı ve anlatıbilim (narratology) araçlarını uluslararası ilişkilere uygulayan bu çalışma, çatışmayı halihazırda in medias res (olayların ortasında) devam eden bir "tamamlanmamış anlatı" olarak incelemektedir.Gerald Prince’in "anlatılmamış" (disnarrated) ve "anlatılamaz" (unnarratable) kavramlarının yanı sıra Marie-Laure Ryan’ın "Minimal ve Maksimal Sapma" (Minimal and Maximal Departure) ilkelerinden yararlanan analiz; gizli istihbarat operasyonlarının ve "Spy-Fi" tarzı teknolojik savaşın (mobil cihazların silah haline getirilmesi gibi) geleneksel askeri beklentilerden radikal biçimde sapan bir hikaye dünyası (storyworld) yarattığına değinmektedir.Ayrıca makale, ana muharip tarafları "hiper-nesneler" (hyperobjects) —toplam eylemlilikleri doğrudan gözlemden kısmen geri çekilmiş, karmaşık ve çok yönlü varlıklar— olarak çerçevelemek için Graham Harman’ın Nesne Yönelimli Ontolojisini uygulamaktadır. Araştırma, kamuoyu algısını şekillendiren çok sesli ve genellikle çelişkili medya perspektiflerini vurgulayarak "yorumsal kesinlik" konusunda uyarıda bulunur. Tıpkı bir edebi eserin son bölümü okunmadan yargılanamayacağı gibi, Gazze anlatısının da tarihsel ve jeopolitik etkisinin daha titiz ve geriye dönük olarak bilgilendirilmiş bir değerlendirmesine imkan tanımak adına, akademik yargının olay akışı bir sonuca ulaşana dek ertelenmesi gerektiği sonucuna varır.

Stories Within Stories: Reading the Unfinished War in Gaza

Öz

This paper argues against critics tendency to prematurely impose definitive judgements in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The paper maintains that premature analytical finality constitutes a significant methodological error. By applying tools from literary theory and narratology onto international relations, the study examines the conflict as an ‘unfinished narrative’ currently operating in a state of in medias res. Utilizing Gerald Prince’s concepts of the ‘disnarrated’ and ‘unnarratable,’ alongside Marie-Laure Ryan’s notions of ‘Minimal and Maximal Departure,’ the analysis touches on how undercover intelligence operations and ‘Spy-Fi’ style technological warfare (such as the weaponization of mobile devices) create a storyworld that deviates radically from conventional military expectations. Furthermore, the paper applies Graham Harman’s Object-Oriented Ontology to frame primary combatants as ‘hyperobjects’—complex, multifaceted entities whose total agency remains partially withdrawn from immediate observation. By highlighting the polyphonic and often contradictory media perspectives that shape public perception, the research warns against ‘interpretive finality.’ It concludes that just as a literary work cannot be judged before its final chapter, the Gaza narrative requires a postponement of academic judgment until its trajectory reaches a conclusion, allowing for a more rigorous, retrospectively informed evaluation of its historical and geopolitical impact.
