Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Paradigm Shifts Within and Between the Women’s and Gender Studies Centres at Universities in Turkey: Modernist, Feminist, and Neo-Conservative ApproachesFollowing the feminist movement of the 1980s, Women’s Studies as an independent academic discipline was established in the early 1990s at Turkish universities. By the year 2017, about 100 Women’s and Gender Studies Centres (WGSCs) existed at universities in Turkey. A research project at the University of Bremen has analysed the institutionalisation and transformation processes of these centres in their relation to academia, state, and civil society based on expert interviews and document collections. This article discusses how six selected WGSCs were shaped differently over the decades by diverse WGS scholars’ political-ideological stances and various scientific paradigms, such as modernist, feminist, or neo-conservative. It also investigates in how far centres’ names, topics, and terms such as ‘gen-der equality’ versus ‘gender justice’ can be identified as indicators of their different academic concepts of women and/or gender. The analysis suggests that the paradigm shifts can be explained, by considering the influential factors of generational belonging, academic feminism, and international WGS debates, as well as recognising the impacts of the relations between the civil society and the state in Turkey that undergo changes due to recent political developments.BerichtBand:3/2021363 171 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item-typ:Veröffentlichung, Der Internationale Frauentag nach der Dekonstruktion von Geschlecht : eine empirisch-qualitative Vergleichsstudie zu Bündnispolitiken im Rahmen des 8. März in Berlin und in Istanbul.(2017-01-11); ; ; This doctoral dissertation project aims to compare the (im-)possibility of building coalitions between political actors of diverse women's and gender-based scenes and movements in Berlin and in Istanbul with an empirical-qualitative approach. International Women's Day (IWD) was chosen as an object of research because it involves thorough discussions on women's movement(s) and feminism, as well as sex and gender. The controversial assessment of IWD paved the way for field research in Berlin (2012) and in Istanbul (2013). Data was collected by means of documents, participant observation during the preparation for and celebration of IWD, and 40 interviews with experts from civil society organizations and political institutions. The empirical data were analyzed with an approach based on Meuser and Nagel's adaptation of Grounded Theory. Due to globalization and transnationalization processes, neoliberal restructuring and debates on identity politics, researchers focusing on women and gender have observed a crisis in feminist movements, especially in the 'Western' societies since the 1990s. The strength of aimed comparison lies in the fact that in today's Turkey - unlike Germany - women's movements work towards common goals and criticize publicly. Based on a 'deep description' of IWD - while focusing on coalition building in the context of the event - the following research question ought to be answered: After the unifying collective subject of 'we women' has been decentered and deconstructed in the context of (post)structuralist, postcolonial and queerfeminist scientific discourses, how can the categories of sex and gender still function as a focal point for social movements? Thus, this dissertation deals with coalition politics among diverse women on the occasion of this transnational event.Dissertation606 206
