Özet
Bu çalışmanın amacı bedenin iktidar ilişkilerindeki rolünü incelemektir. Michel Foucault'nun iktidar mekanizmaları perspektifinden Batinin güzellik standartları ele alınacaktır. Bu çalışma bedenin bir iletişim aracı olduğunu öngören iki farklı grubun yaklaşımlarına yer vermektedir. Bu iki grup, feministler ve cyberpunklar, bedenin iktidar tarafından özneleri şekillendirmek ve kontrol etmek için kullan ildiğini ortaya koyarlar. Bu iki grubun temel amacı bedeni iktidardan geri talep etmek ve bedenleri üzerinde kontrol sahibi olmaktır. Bu çalışmanın amaci feministler ve cyberpunklarin bedeni iktidardan talep etme cabalarının bir sosyal direniş oluşturup, oluşturamayacağını tartışmaktır.
This project is done for the exploration of the role of the body in power relations. Taking Michel Foucaults theory of disciplinary mechanisms of power and their implication in everyday life, this study tries to focus on the standardized beauty ideals of the West. The study also presents the ideas of two different groups that are interested in using the body as a medium for expression. The common belief, hold by these two groups, feminists and cyberpunks, is that body has always been and still is used as a space for controlling and shaping subjects. The main concern of these two groups is to reclaim their bodies from the micro-practices of disciplinary power. The main aim of this study is to discuss the possibility of a resistance in the embodied practices of these groups.
