Abstract (EN)

The rapid development of technology creates posthuman situations and the posthuman situations that we encounter everyday subject human beings to an accelerated transformation. However, it would not be correct to understand 'the human' as a form of being composed of itself, so the equation of the said transformation should be established as a whole with the things surrounding the human. Thus, in order to examine the situations that constitute the reality of the posthuman period, the thesis concentrates on the relationship between human, nature, city and culture, and focuses on the trend of transition from labor to immaterial (mental) labor, which is considered as one of the basic posthuman condition. In this context, it is determined that the situation mentioned as a thesis has the capacity to create a multitude environment. In the sociology that develops in this direction, what the body-human, nature-city phenomena turn into is analyzed within the scope of the thesis. Understanding Posthumanism as the end of humanism as the word actually refers to requires clarifying the distinction between "Transhumanism" and "Posthumanism" when evaluating Posthuman situations and their effects. For this reason, in the thesis, the extension of the phenomenon of humanism and its scope is examined and its externality is explained. In this context, it is emphasized that posthumanism can only be understood as "critical posthumanism" and when posthuman situations make it possible to exit from the settled system, "life" can be exalted and maintained by the planetary scale. Neoliberalism and transhumanism, which take shape as the architects of sociology with the interconnection of capitalism and humanism, are taken into the focus of criticism within the scope of the thesis. It is claimed that art as another field of culture, finds its place as the building block of the medium of the multitude, on the border of the relationship established with truth and reality (symbolism) in the posthuman situation. Together with the exit from the illusion of hyperreality, it is determined that art reconstructs its relationship with the 'truth' in the posthuman situation. It is explained in the thesis that, multiple associations, sharings, mutual interaction and participation, in brief, human and human interaction and the end of truth games are in focus on multiple platforms, and this argument is examined on a short historical basis and is the subject of the thesis. Key Words: Humanism, Posthumanism, Posturbanism, Multitude, Neoliberalism
