İkinci Dünya’nın haritadan
silinmesi, dünya düzenindeki ikiliğin artmasına yol açtı ve dünyanın eksenini Kuzey-Güney ayrımına doğru kaydırdı. Bu
ayrım, Doğu-Batı ayrımına benzer şekilde, özselleştirilmiş hayaller ve
karakteristikler ortaya çıkararak yerel tarihlerin çeşitliliğini homojenleştirmeye
eğilim gösterdi. İkinci Dünya’dan arta kalanların Kuzey’e ya da Güney’e doğu
kayması, geçmişte bu dünyanın bir parçası olan tüm unsurlar için kaçınılmaz
hale geldi. Ancak bu bağlam, söz konusu unsurları belirsiz, hatta olumsuz bir
nesnellikle karşı karşıya bıraktı. Bu makale, eski sosyalist dünyanın ve bu
dünyanın kolonyal ötekilerinin küresel Kuzey-Güney ayrımındaki rolünü ve
işlevini, kolonyal ve emperyal farklılık konseptleri aracılığıyla
sorunsallaştırmayı amaçlıyor. Makale, Kafkasya’yı yoksul Kuzey’in güneyindeki
en uç örnek olarak değerlendiriyor ve bölge insanlarının öznelliği için yıkıcı
olan ikincil “Avustralizm” sendromunu analiz ediyor. Avrupalı olmayan
Rusya’ya/Sovyetlere ait eski kolonilerdeki oluşun, hissedişin ve düşünüşün
olası dekolonizasyon yöntemleri üzerinde duruyor.

Yoksul Kuzey’in Güneyi: Kafkasya Öznelliği ve İkincil “Avustralizm” Kompleksi [The South of the Poor North. Caucasus Subjectivity and the Complex of Secondary "Australism"]

Öz

The erasing of the Second World has resulted in the increased binarity of the world order and changing of its axis to the North-South divide. Similarly to the West-East partition it tends to homogenize various local histories into imagined essentialized sets of characteristics. Drifting of bits and pieces of the Second World in the direction of either the North or the South has become unavoidable for all its former subjects, yet leaves them with an uncertain, almost negative subjectivity. The article problematizes the role and function of the ex-Socialist world and its colonial others within the global North-South divide and through the concepts of colonial and imperial differences. It considers Caucasus as t he utmost case of t he South of the poor North and analyses secondary “Australism” syndrome which is devastating for the subjectivity of its people. Finally, it dwells on the possible w ays o f d ecolonizing o f b eing, s ensing a nd t hinking i n t henon-European Russian/Soviet ex-colonies.
