Özet:

 Poiesis, encompassing artistic and technical creative activities such as making, producing, and bringing forth, has traditionally been linked with history, understood as a posteriori discourse and narrative on what has been produced. However, maintaining a chronological separation between the two is increasingly problematic. This study argues that the question of poetic individuation and becoming  extending beyond art and technique to all forms of revealing that affect the human condition  must be reconsidered. Meanwhile, history, as both a research activity that uncovers the conditions of becoming and as the medium where becoming is exhibited, permeates core areas of political theory. It will be proposed that contemporary transformations  ecological, technological, economic, industrial, and political  have fundamentally reshaped the roles and uses of history and poiesis, exerting a decisive influence on political theory today. These transformations, comparable in impact to the foundational crises of modernity, also affect essential political concepts such as sovereignty, authority, and democracy. Furthermore, the modern framing of nature as an active field of intervention has, in the context of the Anthropocene and its aftermath, evolved into a new stage where not only humans and organic life but also technical individuals and the Earth emerge as agents of becoming. This article contends that contemporary Continental political theory remains inadequate in addressing history, production, becoming, and creativity, as long as it remains trapped within a static subject-structure framework.Meanwhile, history, as both a research activity that uncovers the conditions of becoming and as the medium where becoming is exhibited, permeates core areas of political theory.

 Yapmak, üretmek, meydana getirmek gibi sanatsal ve teknik yaratıcı ve üretici etkinliklerin ortak adı olan poiesis ile yapılan, üretilen, meydana getirilen etkinliklerin, olayların üzerine a posteriori bir söylem, anlatı, bir disiplin olarak tarih her ne kadar birbirleriyle olan ilişkisi içerisinde ele alınmış olsa da ikisi arasında kronolojik bir farkın kabul edilmesi gittikçe sorunlu hale gelmektedir. Bu sebeple, sadece sanat, teknik ve zanaat cinsinden değil insanlık durumuna etki eden tüm açığa getirme faaliyetlerini karşılayan poetik bireyleşme oluş sorusunu bünyesinde barındırır. Buna karşılık, tarih de oluşun imkân koşullarını meydana getiren bir araştırma faaliyeti ve her şeyden önce oluşun sergilendiği mecra olarak politika teorisinin temel inceleme alanlarına nüfuz eder. Bu araştırma makalesi boyunca günümüzde yaşanan ekolojik, teknolojik, ekonomik, endüstriyel ve politik dönüşümler ile birlikte tarih ve poiesise yüklenen işlevler ve kullanım tarzlarında meydana gelen farklılaşmanın çağdaş politika teorisinde belirleyici bir etkiye sahip olduğu öne sürülecektir. Bu dönüşümler, en az modern dönemin başlangıcındaki kriz kadar belirleyici olmanın yanında devlet, egemenlik, otorite ve demokrasi gibi politika teorisinin temel konu alanlarını etkilemektedir. Diğer yandan, modern dönemin tarih ve üretim etkinliğine bakışında doğanın da etkin bir müdahale alanı olarak tasarlanmasının yol açtığı sonuçlar günümüzde kapsam, etki ve yoğunluk bakımından yeni bir merhaleye ulaşmıştır. Nitekim Antroposen olarak adlandırılan çağın da geride kalmaya başladığı günümüzde hareket eden insan ve diğer organik canlıların yanında teknik bireyler ve yeryüzü bulunmaktadır. Bu araştırma makalesi boyunca, tarih ve poiesis kavramları özelinde, Çağdaş Kıta Avrupası politika teorisindeki güncel tartışmaların tarih, oluş, üretim ve yaratıcılık kavramlarını özne ve yapı arasındaki statik ilişkiyle kavrayamadığı öne sürülmektedir.
