Bu çalışma, David Mitchel ve Sharon Synder’in ‘engellilik çalışmaları’ şemsiyesi altında tanıtılan anlatı protezi bağlamında, postmodern İngiliz oyun yazarı Martin McDonagh tarafından yazılan kayda değer oyunlarından Yastık Adam’ı incelemeyi amaçlar. Çalışma, Mcdonagh’ın bahsi geçen oyunundaki karakterleri edebi özelliklerine göre, engellilik çalışmalarındaki bedensel/mental “normallik” ve “engellilik” kavramlarıyla ilişkili olarak inceler. Bu bağlamda, çalışma, McDonagh’ın oyunun anlamsallığını artırmasını sağladığı ‘engelli’ karakterlerin ‘varoluşçu’ yönlerinin yanında, anomali siyaseti ve anlatı ve engellilik ilişkisine dair sonuçlar etrafında döner. Makale, anlatı protezi kavramı ve engelliliğin doğasını, politiğini ve sonuçlarını kültürel, sosyal ve edebi bir yapı olarak inceleyip entelektüel bir disiplin olarak ifade edilen ve güncel bir yaklaşım olan kritik engellilik çalışmaları üzerine bir dizi yorumu içerir. Bu nedenle bu makale, anlatı protezinin, oyun ve ilgili eserlerdeki referanslara odaklanarak yazar-oyun ilişkisi yoluyla uygulanabilirliğini bulmaya çalışır. Bu bağlamda, bu makale McDonagh’ın ‘engelli’ karakterler ile olgunlaşan oyununu da ‘kültürel ve edebi yatırım’ objektifinde inceleyecektir.

This study aims to examine The Pillowman—a noteworthy play written by the postmodern British playwright Martin McDonagh—in the context of the narrative prosthesis introduced by David Mitchel and Sharon Synder under the umbrella term ‘disability studies’. The study examines the characters in Mcdonagh’s play in terms of their literary characteristics in relation to the concepts of ‘normalcy’ and ‘disability’ within disability studies. In this context, the study revolves around McDonagh’s creation of ‘existential’ aspects of ‘disabled’ characters which has implications for the meaning of the play, the politics of the anomaly, and the narrative and disability relationship. The article explains the concept of narrative prosthesis as well as a number of interpretations on Critical Disability Studies, a current approach which is an intellectual and educational discipline studying the implication, nature, and consequences of disability as a cultural, social and literary construct. For this reason, this article tries to find out the applicability of the narrative prosthesis through the author-play relationship focusing on references from the play and related works. In this respect, this article will also examine McDonagh’s play, which is enriched by ‘disabled’ characters, in the lens of ‘cultural and literary investment’.
