SUMMARY
AbstractIn the light of the power concepts theorized by Michel Foucault, this article investigates Erdal Oz's novel Yaralisin (You’re Wounded). Foucault’s power structure that systematized in Subject and Power (1961), History of Sexuality (1984), Birth of Prison (1975), The Birth of Biopolitics (2004), has similarities with crime production that the novel reflects. Accordingly, individuals are being standardized in the prison through programs, strategies and technics that the power structure determined. In this process, there is no direct enforcement on the individual. The power structure connects the individual to itself through knowledge and body. In Oz’s novel the subject depending on space changing are being standardized and transformed into the “Nuri” character, as we read in the text. At the base of becoming standard individual through lost of identity, there is crime production. As for crime production, it takes shape in accordance with space. In the novel, space dependent suffering, inflicted on individuals, places the subject on a hierarchical plane, as Foucault has also indicated, and brings an end to existence. The power structure, cutting off the individual from his private space, taking him first into the interrogation room, and then to the prison, has made him a part of the system and has objectified him. The digestive effect of the power structure has become even more concrete with the presence of the second person narrator within the narrative plane; depersonalization has taken place within the new order.ÖzBu makalede Michel Foucault’un kuramsallastirdigi iktidar kavrami isiginda Erdal Öz’ün Yaralisin romani incelenmistir. Foucault’nun Özne ve Iktidar (1961), Cinselligin Tarihi (1984), Hapishanenin Dogusu (1975), Biyopolitikanin Dogusu (2004) gibi kitaplarinda sistemlestirdigi iktidar, romanda aktarilan suç üretimi ile paralellik tasimaktadir. Bireyler, iktidar tarafindan belirlenen program, strateji ve tekniklerle hapishanelerde tek tiplestirilmektedir. Bu süreçte bireyler üzerine dogrudan bir yaptirim uygulanmaz; iktidar, bilgi ve beden yönetimi üzerinden bireyi kendine baglar. Öz’ün romaninda da uzamsal degisimlere bagli olarak tekil özneler, tek tiplestirilerek metindeki karsiligiyla “Nuri”lere dönüsür. Bireyin kendi kimligini yitirerek tek tiplesmesinin temelinde suç üretimi vardir. Suç üretimi ise uzama göre sekillenir. Romanda uzama göre degisen çektirilen azaplar, Foucault’un da belirttigi gibi özneyi hiyerarsik düzleme yerlestirir ve varolusu sona erdirir. Iktidar, özneyi kisisel mekânindan ayirip önce sorgu odasina ardindan da hapishaneye götürerek onu düzenin bir parçasi hâline getirmis ve nesnelestirmistir. Iktidarin sindirici etkisi, anlati düzlemindeki ikinci tekil anlaticinin varligiyla daha da somutlasmis; kurulan düzen içerisinde özne yitimi gerçeklesmistir.
