Abstract

Bu makalede Beauvoir’ın kadınların giyimi üzerine düşüncesinin beş ögesini sundum

ve çözümledim. Beauvoir, çözümlemesinin merkezine evli kadının sosyal yaşamını koymuş

ve kadınların giyinip kuşanma biçiminin onları cinsel nesneye dönüştüren karmaşık bir

sosyal strateji içerdiğini iddia etmiştir. İkinci Cins’te sunulduğu şekliyle, Beauvoir’ın giyim ve

süslenme konusundaki fikirleri, bu fikirlerin emsalsizliği, derinliği ve özgürleştirici potansiyelini

göstermek amacıyla ayrıntılarıyla ele alınmıştır.

Simone de Beauvoir’s Analysis Of Dressing Up And Adornment In The Second Sex

Abstract

In this paper I have presented and analyzed five components of Beauvoir’s thought

on women’s dressing. Beauvoir centered her analysis on married woman’s social life, and argued

that the way of women’s dressing up contains a complicated social strategy that transforms

them into erotic objects. As presented in The Second Sex, Beauvoir’s thoughts on the subject

of dressing up and adornment is discussed in detail for the purpose of showing her thoughts’

uniqueness, depth and liberating potential.
