Ev İçi Teknolojileri ve Toplumsal Cinsiyet

Öz

Teknolojinin, yaşamın her alanında büyük etkilere sahip olduğu yadsınamaz bir gerçekliktir. Bu etkilerin toplumsal ilişkiler sistemi içinde nasıl kurgulandığı ise üzerinde dikkatle düşünülmesi gereken bir sorudur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, teknoloji ve toplumsal cinsiyet ilişkilerini, ev içi teknolojilerin gelişimi örneğinde inceleyerek, ev içi teknolojilerin toplumsal cinsiyetçi rolleri yeniden üretip, üretmediğini, bu konudaki yaklaşımlar ve yapılan araştırmalar temelinde, ortaya çıkarmaktır. Toplumsal cinsiyet ve teknoloji ilişkilerini konu alan teorik yaklaşımlar, ev içi teknolojilerin geleneksel cinsiyetçi roller çerçevesinde, sosyal olarak belirlendiğini ileri sürmektedir. Bu alana yönelik yapılan çalışmalar, söz konusu teknolojilerin toplumsal cinsiyetçi rolleri yeniden ürettiğini ve nadir olarak kadınların ücretsiz ev içi çalışma zamanını azalttığını göstermektedir.
