Kalp Gidince, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde geçen distopik bir romandır ve bankacılıktan üretime her sektörün çöktüğü bir toplum anlatılır. Kitapta, işsizlik, evsizlik ve şiddet istisnadan ziyade normu oluşturmaktadır. Hikaye evlerini ve işlerini kaybeden ve arabalarında yaşayan genç bir çift üzerinden anlatılır. Bu çift, artık sadece hayatta kalmaya çalışmakta ve güvenlik uğruna özgürlüklerinden vazgeçmektedir. Distopyalar yazıldığı dönemin korkularını ele alırlar. Romanda anlatılan toplum geç kapitalist bir toplumdur. Geç kapitalist toplumlar belirsizlik, güvensizlik ve kırılganlık üzerine kurulmuşlardır ve bunlardan kaynaklanan korku ve endişeyi sömürmektedir. Kalp Gidince romanı da bu sömürüyü yansıtmaktadır. Romanda kahramanlar güvenlik ve istikrar vaat eden bir projeye dahil olmakta, sonucunda özgürlüklerini kaybetmektedir. Çalışmanın ilk bölümünde distopya ve sosyal teori ilişkisi ele alınmıştır. İkinci bölümde romanın özeti ve bağlamı verilmiştir. Üçüncü bölümde geç kapitalist toplumların analizi akışkan modernlik tezi üzerinden yapılmıştır. Son bölümde özgürlük ve güvenlik arasındaki çelişkili ilişki ele alınmış ve bu çelişkili ilişki sonucunda ortaya çıkan tahakküm ilişkileri analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın temel tezi, korkuyu harekete geçiren ve sömüren toplum yapısının güvenlik ihtiyacını tetiklediği ve bu ihtiyacının özgürlük kaybına yol açacağıdır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Distopya, akışkan modernlik, geç kapitalizm, özgürlük-güvenlik ikilemi JEL Sınıflandırması: P1, Y92, Y80, F59
When the Heart Goes is a dystopic novel in the United States and a society in which every sector is collapsing from banking to production. In the book, unemployment, homelessness and violence are norms rather than exceptions. The story is about a young couple who loses their homes and jobs and lives in their cars. The couple are now just trying to survive and give up their freedoms for security. The distopies deal with the fears of the time in which they were written. The society described in the novel is a late capitalist society. Late capitalist societies are founded on uncertainty, uncertainty, and vulnerability, and exploit the fear and anxiety that arise from them. When the heart goes, the novel also reflects this exploitation. In the novel, the heroes are engaged in a project that promises security and stability, and as a result they lose their freedoms. The first part of the study discussed the relationship between distopia and social theory. In the second chapter, the story and context of the novel are included. In the third part, the analysis of late capitalist societies was done through the fluent modernity thesis. The last chapter discussed the contradictory relationship between freedom and security and analyzed the contradictory relationships arising from this contradictory relationship. The basic thesis of the study is that the social structure that moves and exploits fear causes the need for security and that this need will lead to the loss of freedom. Keywords: Distopia, fluid modernity, late capitalism, freedom-security binary JEL Classification: P1, Y92, Y80, F59
The Heart Goes Last is a dystopic novel set in the United States of America. The book portrays a society in which the whole system is broken, from banking to manufacturing; unemployment, homelessness, and violence have accelerated in such a way that they constitute norms rather than the exception. The story is about a young couple, Charmaine and Stan, who lost their homes and jobs and live in their cars. Their lives are now organized around their bare lives, and they are at the point where they exchange their freedom for security. Dystopias reflect the fear of the era in which they are written, and the society portrayed in the novel is a late capitalist society. Late capitalist societies are characterized by uncertainty, insecurity, and vulnerability. Late capitalist societies exploit the fears and anxieties derived from uncertainty and insecurity, and The Heart Goes Last projects this exploitation, resulting in the loss of freedom. The first part of the study gives the relationship between dystopia and social theory. In the second part, the context of the novel is given. The third part analyzes the late capitalist societies through liquid modernity thesis. Finally, the renunciation of freedom for the sake of security and stability is analyzed. An emphasis on the contradiction between freedom and security and the co-occurrence of freedom and domination will be given. It is argued that the social structure that exploits fear triggers the need for security, which results in the loss of freedom. Key Words: Dystopia, liquid modernity, late capitalism, freedom-security dilemma JEL Classification: P1, Y92, Y80, F59
