This study aims to formulate an understanding of the structuring of informal home-based work at the plane of interrelations between capitalism and patriarchy. It examines informal home-based work with an understanding based on two foci, which are market relations and traditional gender roles. It develops its own suggestions of conceptualisations, namely deliberate concealment and devalorisation by obscuring, building up these concepts abstractly in the theoretical sections and concretely the analyses.

The changing perceptions of gender roles among two cohorts of women : a study in Ankara
Eke, Deniz Coşan; Hoşgör, Hatice Ayşe; Department of Sociology (2006)
The purpose of the thesis is to try to examine whether there is change in the perception of gender roles between two cohorts. The focus point of this study is what the difference between old women and young women is; how these women define their gender roles in the public and private spheres and how they describe their relations with their husbands and their children. The main argument in this thesis is that altering the perception of gender roles might be a way to create different policies regarding the pr...
Globalization, transnationalization and imperialism : evaluation of sociology of agriculture and food in the case of Turkey
Büke, Atakan; Ecevit, Mehmet Cihan; Department of Sociology (2008)

Although the history of the literature can be traced back to mid-1970s, its development corresponds to 1990s which is also the period that witnessed the hegemony of the concept of globalization in social sciences. This study argues that the claim on transnationalization reflects th...

Working street children in Turkey and Romania: a comparative historical analysis in the context of new poverty
Bilgin, Hasret Dikici; Hoşgör, Hatice Ayşe; Department of Sociology (2006)
This study aims to explore the dynamics behind the emergence and expansion of working street children since 1990s in Turkey and Romania, in the context of New Poverty. Poverty is not a new concept, it is a dynamic process, accommodating to new circumstances, its scope shrinking from time to time, but surviving ages. Children, on the other hand, are among the groups that are first and foremost affected from the course of poverty. Nevertheless, working street children is a new notion different from traditiona...
The making of a 'city of culture' : restructuring Antalya
Varlı-Görk, Reyhan; Nalbantoğlu, Hasan Ünal; Department of Sociology (2010)
This study tries to identify agencies’ strategies in the ‘urban restructuring’ of Antalya into a ‘city of culture’ by examining the underlying relation between urban cultural policies and global capitalism. Pursuing the relational thinking of the Marxist urban political economy paradigm, the theoretical frames for the concepts of ‘restructuring’ and ‘city of culture’ were investigated using multi-dimensional approaches of existing scholarly literature. Since the concept ‘city of culture’ involves growth ori...
