Abstract

Eco-anxiety is a topic that has been discussed and researched in the context of ecological crisis, climate crisis and environmental disasters. There are very limited studies on eco-anxiety, especially in our country. The concept of eco-anxiety, which brings together views and approaches from various disciplines, can be mentioned together with terms such as uncertainty, unpredictability, uncontrollability, grief, shame, guilt and trauma. Eco-anxiety is defined as the state of being unsure about the future of the world and all living things and being worried about ecological disasters that may occur due to the climate crisis. It is important to remember that eco-anxiety can be complex and affected by social pressures and factors and may even be a result of these. In this article, it is aimed to clarify the concept of eco-anxiety, which is an important problem related to the ecological crisis, by giving place to different concepts and approaches related to anxiety.

Özet

Eko-anksiyete, ekolojik kriz, iklim krizi ve çevresel felaketler bağlamında tartışılan ve üzerine araştırmalar yapılan bir konudur. Eko-anksiyeteye dair özellikle ülkemizde çok sınırlı sayıda araştırma bulunmaktadır. Çeşitli disiplinlerden görüşleri ve yaklaşımları bir araya getiren eko-anksiyete kavramı, belirsizlik, ön görülemezlik, kontrol edilemezlik, keder, utanç, suçluluk ve travma gibi terimlerle birlikte anılabilmektedir. Eko-anksiyete, dünyanın ve içinde yaşayan tüm canlıların geleceğinden emin olamama ve iklim krizine bağlı olarak yaşanabilecek ekolojik felaketlerden endişe duyma durumu olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Eko-anksiyetenin karmaşık olabileceği ve toplumsal baskılardan ve faktörlerden etkilenebileceği, hatta bunların bir sonucu olabileceğini unutmamak önem taşımaktadır. Bu makalede, anksiyete ile ilgili farklı kavramlara ve yaklaşımlara yer verilerek ekolojik kriz ile ilgili önemli bir sorun olan eko-anksiyete kavramına açıklık getirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
