Bir dıfférance eylemi olarak Sevim Burak'ın dramatik metinleri
Özet
According to post-structuralist philosophy, we are living in a world which is surrounded by the metaphysical thinking system in which nonexistence is equivalent to nothingness. In this world where our lives are defined by discoursal impositions, we are forced into a language which cannot belong to us. As Jacques Derrida also acknowledges, however, it is not possible to escape from the metaphysics for the time being. The only thing that can be done, instead, is to invent a language which perpetually escapes, namely, a language of escape. The writing experience unique to Sevim Burak, who aims to point to the absence of ones who are otherised/erased/silen(t/ced) in/with the language of metaphysics with her act of writing, develops on the idea of inventing such a language of escape, and thus being in a constant escape/journey from the metaphysical Real(ity) towards her own "real". This study argues that by inventing a language of escape which is aware of its position as surrounded by the metaphysics and constantly escapes from its Real(ity), Sevim Burak prepares the ground in her dramatic texts for the disclosure of différance (difference and deferral of meaning) in the Derridean sense, thus constructing these texts as an act of différance. Analysing Jacques Derrida's "definition" of différance with reference to this argument, then, the study aims to figure out how the dramatic texts of Sevim Burak are organised in a way that discloses différance.
