This study is about "transness" in contemporary Istanbul. As this thesis demonstrates, transness is an urban phenomenon, an identity specific to time and space. In Istanbul, it is a subculture, defined by sex, gender, sexuality, class, and ethnicity. "Transness: An Urban Phenomenon in Istanbul" situates itself as part of a conversation about marginal subcultures in Gender Studies, Queer Theory, and especially Transgender Studies. This study fills two gaps: the temporal gap between the early Turkish scholarship on trans issues and the contemporary trans world of Istanbul; and the conceptual gap between trans words -- transvestite, transsexual, and transgender -- and trans identities in Istanbul. Furthermore, this study brings the current issues and discussions of US-based queer scholarship into the Turkish context and does so by discussing recent Turkish examples of media representations ranging from a documentary to a movie, and to a newspaper article; and by analyzing certain drag performances. All these examples discussed in this work exemplify the temporality and spatiality of transness, its relation to heteronormativity, and its publicness as a subculture. As is suggested by my examples, transness is 'out-of-time' and 'out-of-place,' always already public, and, as a performance, it asserts individual identity. Moreover, it is also always a public performance. All the examples point to the complex relationship between queerness and transness, and claim that the queerness of transness is always contextual. Combining the detailed analysis of these examples with the ethnographic work on Istanbul's trans world, "Transness: An Urban Phenomenon in Istanbul" provides answers to the following questions: "What is transness?" "What is the impact time and space have on transness within the urban structure of Istanbul?" "What is the relationship between dominant normativity and transness?" Finally, this MA thesis offers new perspectives and opens new paths for further research on the topic intended to help imagining new futures for trans folk in Istanbul. / text

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo general determinar cuál es la influencia de la subcultura urbana de los skaters en la moda streetwear producida por la marca Perro Loco durante el periodo 2013-2019 en Lima. La problemática surgió al percibir que, la moda streetwear ha ganado notoriedad en el mercado internacional y en el mercado de lujo, así como también, la ciudad de Lima no es ajena a dicho fenómeno pues se ha registrado la presencia de esta moda, pero en menor escala. Al comenzar la investigación bibliográfica, se descubrió que el streetwear se originó al fusionar subculturas juveniles, entre ellas destaca la subcultura urbana de los skaters. A su vez, se ha observado que la identidad y forma de vestir de esta subcultura se ve reflejada en la indumentaria streetwear y viceversa. Por ello, la investigación bibliográfica buscará examinar y comprender las características de ambas variables, para luego complementar dicha información con la investigación cualitativa a través del estudio de caso de una marca representativa de esta moda que pueda explicar dicho fenómeno en el contexto peruano. / The present research has as general objective to determine what is the influence of the urban subculture of skaters in the streetwear fashion produced by the brand Perro Loco during the period 2013-2019 in Lima. The problem arose when perceiving that streetwear fashion has gained notoriety in the international market and in the luxury market, as well as, the city of Lima is not unaware of this phenomenon because the presence of this fashion has been recorded, but on a smaller scale. At the beginning of the literature research, it was discovered that streetwear originated by merging juvenile subcultures, among them the urban subculture of skaters. In turn, it has been observed that the identity and manner of dress of this subculture is reflected in the clothing streetwear and vice versa. Therefore, the bibliographic research will seek to examine and understand the characteristics of both variables, and then complement said information with qualitative research through the case study of a brand that can explain said phenomenon in the Peruvian context. / Trabajo de investigación
