Özet:

 This paper concentrates on two plays written during the core period of the neoliberal era, specifically the 2000s. The works under examination are The Permanent Way and Stuff Happens. Acknowledging that literary productions are intertwined with broader and more complex social structures, this study endeavours to identify the dialectical relationships between Hares plays, the societies they reflect, and the dominant neoliberal policies prevalent since the 1970s. The research aims to contextualize David Hares selected plays and argue that they possess a dialectical relationship with the societies of their creation. Employing the dialectical method, the analysis examines the interactive arrangements between the plays and their socio-political context, emphasizing Hares unique language and thematic choices that construct his literary argument. Given the prevalence of neoliberal ideology, this research centers on plays written after the new millennium. The selection is based on their strong reflections of neoliberal policies and their perceived contribution to the decline of neoliberalism. Hence, this study aims to investigate the representation of economic and social inequalities within Hares plays, coinciding with the dissolution of social integrity and corruption of institutions, signifying the decline of neoliberalism.

 Bu makale, neoliberal çağın en tartışmalı döneminde, özellikle 2000lerde yazılan iki oyuna odaklanmaktadır. İncelenen eserler The Permanent Way 2003 ve Stuff Happens 2004 adlı oyunlardır. Edebi üretimlerin daha geniş ve daha karmaşık toplumsal yapılarla iç içe olduğu fikrini rehber edinen bu çalışma, Harein oyunları, yansıttıkları toplumsal yapılar ve 1970lerden bu yana egemen olan neoliberal politikalar arasındaki diyalektik ilişkileri belirlemeye çalışmaktadır. Araştırma, David Harein seçilmiş oyunlarını tarihsel bağlamlarına yerleştirmeyi ve yarattıkları toplumlarla diyalektik bir ilişkiye sahip olduklarını iddia etmektedir. Diyalektik yöntemi kullanan bu çalışma, oyunlar ile sosyo-politik bağlamları arasındaki etkileşimi inceler ve Harein edebi argümanını oluşturan benzersiz dili ve tematik seçimlerini vurgular. Neoliberal ideolojinin yaygınlığı göz önüne alındığında, bu araştırma yeni milenyumdan sonra yazılan oyunlara yoğunlaşarak neoliberal politikaların güçlü yansımalarına ve neoliberalizmin düşüşünün başlangıcı olarak algılanan dönemin eleştirisine odaklanır. Dolayısıyla bu çalışma, neoliberalizmin çöküşüne işaret eden toplumsal bütünlüğün çözülmesi ve kurumların yozlaşmasıyla aynı zamana denk gelen David Hare oyunlarındaki ekonomik ve toplumsal eşitsizliklerin temsilini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır.
