‘Kendin-Yap’ Kent Aktivizmi: Tabana Dayalı Radikal Siyaset mi, Neoliberal Şehirciliğin Suç Ortakları mı?

Öz:
Bu makale özellikle son on yılda küresel Kuzey kentlerinde giderek artan bir görünürlük kazanan ‘kendin-yap’ kent aktivizmine odaklanmakta ve literatürde büyük bir coşkuyla karşılanan bu taban aktivizminin sosyal ve politik sınırlılıklarını göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Konuya ilişkin literatür, uzun bir tarihsel arka plana sahip bu ‘taban şehirciliğinin’, ‘yaratıcı şehir’ ve ‘soylulaştırma’ gibi güncel neoliberal kent politikaları doğrultusunda edindiği yeni işlevleri anlamaya yönelik daha ihtiyatlı çabaları gölgede bırakan çoğunlukla zorlama ‘radikallik’ ve ‘direniş’ anlatılarıyla maluldür. Çalışma, bu aceleci çıkarım ve beklentilerin söz konusu fenomeni anlamayı güçleştirdiğini ve daha analitik bir çabanın onun daha geniş bir tarihsel, sosyo-ekonomik ve politik bağlamda ve yalnızca toplumsal ‘dönüşümle’ ilgili potansiyellerini değil, toplumsal ve politik-ideolojik ‘yeniden üretimle’ ilgili boyutlarını da içerecek şekilde incelenmesiyle mümkün olduğunu iddia etmektedir.

‘Do-It-Yourself’ Urban Activism: Radical Grassroots Politics or Complicits of Neoliberal Urbanism?

Öz:
This paper focuses on 'do-it-yourself' urban activism that has gained increasing visibility in global North cities over the past decade and aims to demonstrate the social and political constraints of this grassroots activism that has been met with great enthusiasm in the literature on it. The literature on the subject is riddled with far-fetched 'radicalism' and 'resistance' narratives, which overshadow the more cautious efforts to understand the new functions that this ’grassroots urbanism‘, which has a long historical background, has recently acquired in line with neoliberal urban policies such as ’creative city' and 'gentrification’. This study argues that these hasty inferences and expectations make it difficult to understand this phenomenon and that a more analytical effort is possible by examining it in a broader historical, socio-economic and political context and in a way that includes not only its potentials related to social ‘transformation’, but also its dimensions related to social and political-ideological ‘reproduction’.
