Between Tradition and Modernity: The Recent Epoch Femicide in Turkey
Öz
This article aims to examine femicide which has increased within the last decade in Turkey in the contradiction of tradition and modernity. When the women murders in Turkey are examined, we see that a small proportion of them can be categorized as honour killing. According to the statistics that are collected by “We Will Stop Women Murder Platform” the reasons and actors of these kind of murders should be conceptualized in a new term. The article moves from a determination that recent femicides have unique features, thus it analyzes them by suggestion a new term which is revolt killing. In a debate about why they became more common in Turkey, as it is asserted in the article, it is argued that the new status of Turkish women which has developed as a result of some dynamics such as urbanization, participation in labor force and the visibility of women in the public and amendments in the judicial system plays a critical role. The most common reasons for femicide in Turkey, which are demanding the divorce or the break up of the relation, can be interpreted as an indicator for this individuation that is getting stronger among women. The article argues that the increased number of femicides are the result of the conflict that has become intensive between the woman who wants to go out of traditional codes and the man who tries to keep her within these codes. In this sense, in the article we assert that femicide in Turkey should go far beyond the term of honour killing, and it should be reconceptualized in the context of the contradiction between tradition and modernity which is arosen as a result of individualization and the new status of women
