dc.description This article focuses on the teachings and actions of God's Gardeners, an anarchist, religious and environmental organization, most widely described in the The Year of the Flood, the second book of Atwood's MaddAddam trilogy. This novel, on the one hand, focuses on the environmental and climate crisis, on the other hand, describes the living conditions of the low socioeconomic classes from different perspectives. In this future fiction, capitalist institutions took over the administrative power with the help of modern science and suspended the democratic administration. Religious minorities of different faiths and origins, whose number and supporters increased rapidly, came out with the claim of filling the gap emerged after the disappearance of democratic institutions in civil society. It is seen that the Gardeners movement has gained strength by finding positive confirmation from the middle and lower classes, and especially from the oppressed women of any class. It is claimed that the Gardeners, as represented in the trilogy, were supported by various segments of society, and turned into a form of civic resistance in time.
dc.description Bu makalenin odağında, Kanadalı romancı Margaret Atwood’un en geniş haliyle MaddAddam üçlemesinin ikinci kitabı Tufan Zamanı’nda ele alığı anarşist, dini ve çevreci bir örgüt olan God’s Gardeners’ın öğretileri ve eylemleri yer almaktadır. Bu roman, bir yandan çevre ve iklim krizine odaklanırken, diğer yandan düşük sosyoekonomik sınıfların yaşam koşullarını farklı perspektiflerden anlatmaktadır. Bu gelecek kurgusunda kapitalist kurumlar, modern bilimin yardımıyla yönetim gücünü ele geçirmiş ve demokratik yönetimi askıya almıştır. Sivil toplumdaki demokratik kurumların ortadan kalkmasıyla ortaya çıkan boşluğu doldurma iddiasıyla sayıları ve destekçileri hızla artan farklı inanç ve kökenlerden dini azınlıklar ortaya çıkmıştır. God’s Gardeners hareketinin orta ve alt sınıflardan ve özellikle her sınıftan ezilen kadınların desteğini alarak güç kazandığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada üçlemede temsil edilen haliyle Gardeners hareketinin toplumun çeşitli kesimleri tarafından desteklendiği ve zamanla bir sivil direniş biçimine dönüştüğü ileri sürülüyor.
