Patriarchal Structures And Practices In Turkey: The Case Of Social Realist And National Films Of 1960s

This thesis highlights the significance of patriarchal structures and their reproduction in women&rsquo / s social position through the feminist perspective. Patriarchy is a dominant structure both on production and reproduction sphere. Patriarchy, which is a dominant structure in every sphere of social life has material basis and controls both women&rsquo / s labour and sexuality. With this framework some concepts such as the types of women&rsquo / s labour, paid and domestic labour, family, honour, violence and masculinity are used in order to understand patriarchy. Patriarchy is not a fixed structure / on the contrary it has been changed according to the different mode of production and different social and cultural structures in which it takes place. In the scope of this thesis, the examples of &lsquo / social realist&rsquo / and &lsquo / national cinema&rsquo / are analysed sociologically. The social, economic and political structure of Turkey in between 1960-70 has some special importance. In addition to that, the institution of cinema had some important changes at the same period. Meantime, it is important that not many studies were done in woman&rsquo / s subordination for this period in Turkey. Not only woman&rsquo / s subordination in the scope of patriarchy, but also mutual relations of men and the role of men in reproduction of patriarchy were analysed in the film analysis.
