In this thesis, Women and Tradition in Turkish Television culture-The modern day representation of rape and pre-marital sexuality looks into how rape and pre-marital sexuality is represented under traditional gender roles. This is a cultural study that tries to understand the sexual identity of women trying to be represented on television series in Turkey. Two television serials “Fatmagülün Suçu Ne?” and “Hayat Devam Ediyor” are selected as case studies. The two main characters “Fatmagül” and “Hayat” are analyzed in both television serials. The main research question presented in the thesis, “With a particular focus on gender representation, how are the issues of rape and extra-marital sex addressed in the Turkish television serials “Hayat Devam diyor” and “Fatmagül’ün suçu ne?” The particular of representation of gender sexuality is in the traditional and social sphere. The theoretical framework is mainly based on theories based on “Feminism” with a focus on “Radical Feminism” and “Patriarchy”. The main methodological framework used is “critical discourse analysis”.  The findings in the thesis through the analysis of episodes dealing with rape and pre-marital sexuality the representations of the main female characters are more negatively in their social spheres. They are excluded from society and represented as the second-class citizen. With this study my aim is to look into the relationship of representations of gender, which will bring more attention to the sensitive topics of oppression of gender sexuality and the representation through gendered realities in the television serials.

Guided by the analyst’s “theoretical free associations” during the process of analyzing a clinical case, several psychical aspects concerning these questions arouse. The main focus was the complexity of the weaving of the intrasubjective aspects of each partner with the same aspects of the other, resulting in an interpersonal reality specific of that couple in question. Research in the psychoanalytic bibliography shows very few studies developed about marital sexual relations. With the increasing demand for couples and family therapies, this lack of knowledge has to be considered. Using a case history and some clinical fragments, and the psychoanalytical clinical method of research, intrapsychic and interpersonal aspects of that sexual discrepancy, as well as its complex and dynamic interrelationships are discussed in this thesis / Na tentativa de melhor compreender situações de desconforto conjugal causadas pela discrepância entre a frequência de atividade sexual desejada pelo marido, em comparação com a menor frequência desejada pela companheira, e tendo como fio condutor as “associações livres teóricas” da analista no acompanhamento de um caso clínico, foram abordados vários fenômenos psíquicos referentes a esse tema. Procuramos colocar em evidência a complexidade do enredamento das tramas intrasubjetivas de um parceiro com as do outro, resultando numa realidade interpessoal específica do casal em questão. Esta pesquisa teve origem na constatação de que, em atendimentos de casais e famílias, muito frequentemente surgiam queixas, mais ou menos veladas, sobre a insatisfação masculina quanto ao espaço que a vida em comum dispunha para os momentos de intimidade sexual do casal. No processo de busca de uma melhor compreensão dessa temática na literatura psicanalítica verificamos uma surpreendente lacuna de produções sobre a sexualidade conjugal na psicanálise contemporânea, dando ensejo a uma reflexão sobre as possíveis causas desse fato. Diante da crescente procura de atendimento clínico por casais e famílias, torna-se premente a necessidade de mais pesquisas e discussões nessa área. Baseando-nos no relato de um caso e em algumas vinhetas clínicas e utilizando o método clínico psicanalítico, procuramos evidenciar a necessidade de uma compreensão de fenômenos, tanto intrapsíquicos quanto interpessoais e, especialmente, seu complexo e dinâmico inter-relacionamento
