Abstract

In this article, a theoretical critique of the new poverty concept is presented. The New poverty concept has been increasingly used in the fields of development and social policy and it refers to a new stratum in the society. In this article, the new poverty concept is analysed in the light of the work of Michael Foucault, Edward Said, Ranajit Guha and Margaret Somers and a critique of the new poverty literature is presented using the theoretical framework regarding the concepts of discourse, representation, agency and narrative. As a result of this critique, it is emphasized that the non-critical use of the new poverty concept bears the risk of reconstructing the aforementioned population as a passive and victimised group.

Özet

Bu makalede, yeni yoksulluk kavramının teorik bir eleştirisi sunulmaktadır. Yeni yoksulluk, kalkınma ve sosyal politika alanlarında son yıllarda gittikçe artan bir şekilde kullanılan ve toplumdaki yeni bir katmanlaşmaya işaret eden bir kavramdır. Bu yazıda, yeni yoksulluk kavramı Michael Foucault, Edward Said, Ranajit Guha ve Margaret Somers’in eserleri ışığında incelenecek ve söylem, temsil, faillik ve anlatı kavramlarının teorik çerçevesi kullanılarak, yeni yoksulluk literatürünün bir eleştirisi sunulacaktır. Bu eleştiri neticesinde, yeni yoksulluk kavramının, bahsedilen nüfusu pasif ve mağdur bir grup olarak yeniden kuran iktidar mantığının bir parçası olduğu vurgulanacaktır.
