TÜRK TOPLUMUNDAKİ TOPLUMSAL CİNSİYET KAVRAMININ KÜLTÜREL ANTROPOLOJİ BAĞLAMINDA DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Year 2017, Volume: 5 Issue: 1, 235 - 247, 01.01.2017

Abstract

“Toplumsal Cinsiyet”, kültürel antropolojinin en önemli araştırma konularından bir tanesidir. Toplumsal cinsiyet algısının yaklaşımların etkilerini göz önüne sermek amacıyla birçok çalışma yürütülmüştür. Bu çalışma ise Türk kültüründen alınan örnekleri Amerikan kültüründeki eşdeğerleriyle karşılaştırmak suretiyle Türk toplumunda toplumsal cinsiyet konusuna yönelik yaklaşımlara odaklanmıştır. Öncelikle, bu çalışma kapsamında antropolojik bakış açısı, cinsiyet ve toplumsal cinsiyet konularına ilişkin artalan bilgileriyle zenginleştirilmiştir. Sonraki aşamada Türk kültüründen seçilen örnekler Amerikan kültüründeki eşdeğer ya da benzer uygulamalarla karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu analiz yoluyla, Türk halkının toplumsal cinsiyetlere atfedilen rolleri benimseme konusundaki genel eğilimlerini ve tercihlerini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda, cinsiyet ve toplumsal cinsiyet kavramlarının, toplumların kültür ve geleneklerinden soyutlanamayacağı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında yer verilen örneklerin incelenmesi sonucunda, Türk toplumunda hala kadınlara karşı negatif ayrımcılığın uygulandığı görülmüştür. Bu bağlamda, kadınların toplumsal cinsiyetine yönelik ayırıcı eylemlerin, kültür içerisindeki konumlarına bakılmaksızın ortadan kaldırılması gerektiği savunulmaktadır; zira insan hak ve özgürlükleri, katı inançlardan ve geleneklerden daha fazla önem arz etmektedir.

EVALUATION OF THE CONCEPT OF GENDER IN TURKISH SOCIETY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY

Year 2017, Volume: 5 Issue: 1, 235 - 247, 01.01.2017

Abstract

“Gender” is considered to be among the most important research fields of cultural anthropology. Numerous studies have been carried out on this subject in order to illustrate the impacts of social forces and cultural notions on the development and perception of this concept. Thus, the present study focuses on the approaches to the issue of gender within the Turkish context by means of the comparison of examples from the Turkish culture with the examples selected from American culture. In the first place, anthropological perspective has been enriched through theoretical background information on sex and gender. Then the specific examples selected from the Turkish culture have been compared to the equivalent or similar practices in the American culture. By means of this analysis, it is aimed to demonstrate the general tendencies and preferences of Turkish people in the acknowledgement of the role assignments between two genders. At the end of the study, it has been concluded that the notions of sex and gender cannot be alienated from the culture and tradition of societies. Through the analysis of the examples provided in the study, it has been seen that negative discrimination is still practiced against women in Turkish society. Accordingly, it has been emphasized that discriminating actions against female gender should be eliminated regardless of their positions in Turkish society since human rights and freedoms are much more significant than strict beliefs and traditions.
