GILLES DELEUZE'ÜN ASAMBLAJ TEORİSİ ve POLİTİK ÖZNELLİĞİN KURULUMU

Abstract

Technical and technological thinking has strong influences in naming an era, sustaining debates on economy and politics of certain periods and establishing new conceptual relations. Therefore, it is not only referring to developments in the theoretical field but also provides significant cognitive and affective contributions to determining the struggle lines of politics and individuals. To analyse these interactions, this master's thesis examines the French philosopher Gilles Deleuze's concept of assemblage and its relationship with cybernetic machines and the position of larval subjectivity, the regime of the self and political subjectivity within it. In line with this objective, it touches upon how Deleuze analyses the regime of self through an ontological understanding of existence, how this regime evolves into institutional theory within a plane of consistency through the concepts of motives and desires and how social machines as assemblages are embodied in the concept of assemblage. As a final objective, the focus is on how the position of subjectivity emerging in the theory of assemblage is transformed into political subjectivities in the context of cybernetic-networked machines, molecular becoming and micro-assemblage.
