THE NON-HUMAN AGENCY IN DELEUZE AND GUATTARI’S PHILOSOPHY

Öz

Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari offer a significant conceptual framework for understanding human-environment relations, proposing philosophy as a series of concepts that emerge from the more-than-human and the Earth itself. This perspective, rooted in a materialist approach, uses the concept of geophilosophy to envision the creation of a new world for new people. Furthermore, this article emphasizes the role of nonhuman actors in shaping history and society, opening a space to rethink nonhuman entities beyond traditional representations. In this way, geophilosophy centers nonhuman agency and transformative relationships; it also critiques the liberal humanist subject, endowed with status and privilege, challenging this subject’s exclusionary structure. This article, thus, approaches geophilosophy as a spatially centered concept and offers an interdisciplinary framework for examining interactions between philosophy and the nonhuman.

DELEUZE VE GUATTARI'NİN FELSEFESİNDE İNSAN OLMAYAN’IN EYLEYİCİLİĞİ

Öz

Gilles Deleuze ve Félix Guattari, insan-çevre ilişkilerini anlamak için önemli bir kavramsal çerçeve sunmakta olup, felsefeyi insan-ötesi ve Dünya’dan türeyen bir kavramlar dizisi olarak ele almayı önerirler. Bu bakış açısı, maddeci bir perspektif çerçevesinde, jeofelsefe kavramıyla yeni insan toplulukları için yeni bir dünya yaratmayı hedefler. Dahası, insan olmayan aktörlerin tarih ve toplumu biçimlendirmedeki rolüne vurgu yaparak, geleneksel temsillerin ötesinde insan olmayan varlıkları düşünmeye yönelik bir alan açar. Böylece, jeofelsefe, insan olmayan eyleyiciliği ve dönüştürücü ilişkileri merkeze alır; aynı zamanda, statü ve ayrıcalık sahibi liberal humanist özneyi eleştirerek, bu öznenin dışlayıcı yapısına karşı bir duruş sergiler. Bu makale ise jeofelsefeyi mekân-merkezli bir kavram olarak ele almakta ve felsefe ile insan olmayan arasındaki etkileşimi irdelemek üzere disiplinlerarası bir çerçeve sunmaktadır.
