Management and Power Relations In Written History: Where Are Women?

Abstract

History which is compiled and told by historians, enables us to make a certain judgement about management. In written history, men are subjects, rulers, and contemporary societies have emerged through the efforts of mail kings, commanders, heroes, prophets and scientists who have developed civilizations, religions, various disciplines. In this history, women exist as invisible objecs under the rule of men; they are marginal groups. Women's movement following the enlightenment era and women history studies starting with feminism are all attempts to make women visible in written history. The main question of the research which is based on an extensive literature survey is "how different would be the written history from the perspective of visibility of women if women were perceived as equal by men and their talents and management skills were evaluated objectively?". Other questions within the research are "What are the historical facts about women's life?", "How did women struggle with their invisibility in the management and power relations in written history?", "How did the women history emerge?" and " “If the whole historical truths about women's lives were included in writing history, what kind of management and world history would emerge?”

Yazılı Tarihte Yönetim ve İktidar İlişkileri: Kadın Bunun Neresinde?

Abstract

Tarihçiler tarafından derlenen ve anlatılan tarih yönetim ile ilgili belli bir yargıya varmamızı sağlamaktadır. Yazılı tarihte erkekler öznedir, yönetendir ve erkek krallar, kumandanlar, kahramanlar, peygamberler ve bilim adamlarının medeniyetleri, dinleri ve çeşitli disiplinleri geliştirmesiyle günümüzdeki çağdaş toplumlar ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu tarihte kadınlar görünmez, nesnel, yönetilen veya marjinal gruplar olarak yer almaktadırlar. Aydınlanma çağı sonrasında ortaya çıkan kadın hareketleri ve feminizm ile başlayan kadın tarihi çalışmaları yazılı tarihte kadını görünür kılma çabası içindedir. Kapsamlı bir literatür taramasına dayalı olan araştırmanın yanıt aradığı temel soru “Kadınlar erkekler tarafından eşit tür olarak kabul edilselerdi, kadınların yetenekleri ve yönetim becerileri objektif olarak değerlendirilmiş olsaydı, karşımıza kadının görünürlüğü açısından nasıl bir yazılı tarih çıkardı?” şeklindedir. Araştırmanın temel sorusu ekseninde yanıt aranan diğer sorular ise “Kadın yaşamına yönelik tarihsel gerçekler nelerdir?”, “Yönetim ve iktidar ilişkilerinde kadınlar yazılı tarihteki görünmezlikleri ile nasıl mücadele etmişlerdir?”, “Kadın tarihi nasıl ortaya çıkmıştır?” ve “Tarihin yazılmasında kadınların yaşamına ilişkin tüm tarihsel gerçeklere yer verilse idi, nasıl bir yönetim ve dünya tarihi ortaya çıkardı?” şeklindedir.
