Abstract

Bu makale, kadınların çok boyutlu kimliklerini ve kültürel bağlamlarını merkeze alan çokkültürcü feminist perspektifi, özellikle Ayelet Shachar başta olmak üzere feminist teorisyenlerin kavramsal katkıları çerçevesinde ele almaktadır. Üçüncü dalga feminizm ile çokkültürcülük teorisinin kesişim noktasında gelişen bu yaklaşım, evrenselci liberal feminizmin tek tip kadın anlayışı ve özgürleşme modelini eleştirerek, kültürel bağlamların ve azınlık gruplarına mensup kadınların özgün deneyimlerinin önemini vurgular. Çokkültürcü feminizm, kadın hakları ile kültürel aidiyet arasında adil bir denge kurmayı hedefleyerek, kadınların bireysel haklarını ve kültürel kimliklerini bir arada koruyabilecekleri çoğulcu tanıma ve uyum modellerine olanak tanır. Bu bağlamda, çokkültürcü feminizmin öncü isimlerinden Ayelet Shachar’ın “dönüştürücü uyum” kavramı, kültürel çeşitliliği korurken kadınların eşitlikçi bir yaşam sürmesini de hedefler. Bu kavram dolayımında, yargı ve kamusal hizmet alanlarında devlet ve grup otoriteleri arasında yetki paylaşımına dayalı bir yapı önerilerek, kadınların güçlenmesi ve haklarının gerçekleşmesine yönelik alternatif liberal bir perspektif ortaya konur. Makale, çokkültürlü feminizmin, özellikle Shachar’ın kavramsal çerçevesi üzerinden din-devlet ilişkilerini yeniden değerlendirerek, daha kapsayıcı ve adil bir toplum inşası teklifini derinlemesine incelemektedir.
