Like femininity, there is not one type of masculinity. Since there are different kinds of masculinities, there are also various types of fatherhood. Historical, cultural, economic, and social factors can affect fatherhood experiences in different ways. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the fatherhood experiences of lower-middle class men who live in Eskişehir and have at least one son. Within this context men’s relations with their sons and their fathers will be the focus of this study. Issues such as early childhood experiences, maturity, work life, education life, and domestic division of labor will also be included with reference to the fatherhood experiences of the men in the sample.

The Function of the fantastic in the works of Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson Özyurt Kılıç, Mine; İçöz, Nursel; Department of English Literature (2005) This study sets out from the premise that the fantastic, in the hands of the women writers with feminist awareness,can be used as a tool to subvert patriarchal gender roles that are culturally constructed. The dissertation aims at analysing the fantastic novels by Angela Carter, The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman and Nights at the Circus, and by Jeannette Winterson, The Passion and The.PowerBook as examples in which the transgression of gender roles is achieved through the use of fantastic image...
Structural Validity of Turkish Versions of the Gender Role Conflict Scale and Male Role Norms Scale Lease, Suzanne H.; Ciftci, Ayse; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz; Boyraz, Gueler (American Psychological Association (APA), 2009-10-01) Masculinity ideologies are expected to vary by culture, yet the scales frequently used to measure masculinity and the related construct of gender role conflict were developed and normed in the United States and have not been validated for use in Middle Eastern cultures. This set of two studies examined the construct equivalence of translated and adapted versions of the Gender Role Conflict Scale (GRCS) and the Male Role Norms Scale (MRNS) with Turkish individuals. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used...
Platon’un Kadınlara Yönelik Tutumu Üzerine Bir İnceleme (A Study On Plato’s Attitude Towards Women) Işıkgil, Sena (2017-12-01) In Ancient Greece, especially in Classical Athens, women are generally identified as intellectually inferior beings compared to men. Women are not seen as self-sufficient individuals, and they do not have equal rights with the males of the city. Even though, during Plato’s time the place of women in society is considered inferior to that of men, Plato seems as if he exhibits an egalitarian attitude towards the position of women and men in socio-political life due to some statements about women in his dialog...
Discursive construction and linguistic representations of gender in political discourses: a critical discourse analysis of governmental public adresses in Turkey / Erdoğan, Yasemin; Işık Güler, Hale; Department of English Language Teaching (2014) The production, discursive reproduction, perpetuation of gender in social and cultural practices/discourses and its complex interrelation with power and ideology are the main concerns of gender research in linguistics. The political discourses constitute the most solid intersections where power, ideology and gender policies mutually interact. Therefore, this study focuses on investigating the discursive construction and linguistic representations of gender in political discourses at governmental level in Tu...
Sexual labour and the reproduction of capital in Northern Cyprus Kumi, Rebecca; Bryant, Rebecca; Political Science and International Relations (2012-8) The general purpose of this thesis is to provide a gendered analysis of the ways in which States use their power to facilitate and promote accumulation, specifically primitive accumulation. I will seek to demonstrate in this study that women, classed and racialised, and especially those migrating within the neo-liberal global political economy are exploited not only through the classical alienation of their labour, but from the application of the additional extra-economic power of patriarchy and the to...
