Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal the question of experience and subjectivity in thougth of Teresa De Lauretis in the context of the construction of queer theory. According to Lauretis, to be queer means breaking the heteronormative order and identity. It is a process which is established at the borders of the given norm and the cracks of institutions. This study, which attempts to reveal how Lauretis constructs the foundations of queer thought, first touches on Lauretis’s critique of the idea of sexual difference. It points out that Lauretis’s thought is established on the base of this critique. It then addressess the issue of eccentric subject and experience as the two main elements of queer theory in Lauretis. On the one hand, Lauretis overturns traditional understanding of subject through the concept of eccentric which amounts to weird, bizarre and founds a new idea of subjectivity. On the other hand, she draws attention to the performative nature of gender. For this reason, this study deals with the eccentric subject, which subverts traditional understanding of the subject, that is, becomes queer, in the context of experience. As a result, it shows that Lauretis had the opportunity to theorize the queer politics by considering the concept of “eccentric” as remaining strange against the given subjectivity modes with the notion of experience.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Teresa De Lauretis’in düşüncesinde queer teorinin kuruluşu bağlamında deneyim ve öznellik meselesini açığa çıkarmaktır. Lauretis’e göre, queer olmak, heteronormatif düzeni, özdeşliği ve kimliği bozmaktır. Var olan normun sınırlarında, kurumların çatlaklarında inşa edilen bir süreçtir. Lauretis’in nasıl queer düşüncenin temellerini kurduğunu açığa çıkarmayı deneyen bu çalışma, öncelikle Lauretis’in cinsel fark düşüncesine yönelik eleştirisine değinir. Lauretis’in düşüncesinin bu eleştiri üzerinden kurulduğuna dikkat çeker. Ardından Lauretis’te queer teorinin temel iki unsuru olarak eksantrik özne ve deneyim meselesine değinir. Kelime anlamı acayip, tuhaf olan eksantrik kavramı dolayımıyla Lauretis bir yandan geleneksel özne anlayışını alt üst eden yeni bir öznellik fikrini kurarken diğer yandan cinsiyetin performatif niteliğine dikkat çeker. Bu nedenle bu çalışma, geleneksel özne kavrayışını alt üst eden, yani queer hale gelen eksantrik özneyi deneyim bağlamında ele alır. Sonuçta, Lauretis’in verili öznellik kipleri karşısında tuhaf kalma olarak “eksantrik” kavramını deneyim nosyonuyla birlikte düşünmesi sayesinde queer siyaseti kuramsallaştırma olanağı yakaladığını gösterir.
