This thesis assesses 5harfliler.com, a feminist alternative new media product, in terms of its construction of a collective identity. The focus will be on the construction of the collective identity in the feminist alternative new media opposing the major discourses in power and the property of the collective identity being positioned in a discursive framework. This research indicates the applicability of the theories on collective identity construction to the feminist alternative new media. It raises the question of whether 5harfliler fosters an identity construction in its challenge to dominant discourses of patriarchal power through discursive productions. Thus, the study deploys a discourse analysis of the articles on the website’s prominent topics. As a result of the discourse analysis, it is seen that 5harfliler is a place of problematization in which patriarchal codes are contested through discursive productions, yet these productions do not meet the factors for the construction of a collective identity.

THE STUDY OF TERF DEBATE IN THE CONTEXTS OF US, UK & TURKEY & THE EMBRACEMENT OF INTERSECTIONAL FEMINISM FOR RECONCILIATION PROPOSAL
Tanrıver, Pınar; Alpan, Başak Zeynep; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2022-7-18)
This study examines the relationality of the trans-exclusionary radical feminism (TERF) debate, which has become the focus of contemporary feminist literature with intersectional feminism. After the introduction of the term, “TERF” in 2008, the debate on trans-exclusion has flared up and pushed feminist actors into a significant polarisation. At the same time, the trans-exclusionary legal and structural changes made by states, institutions and organisations worldwide caused the gap between the parties to wi...

Gülçiçek, Demet; Mücen, Barış; Department of Sociology (2015)
This thesis analyses the second wave feminist movement of late 1980s in Turkey with the poststructuralist feminist methodology.

During the resignification of the term “woman”, new ways of doing politics and new themes of politics are analysed as simultaneous effects of this p...

Contemporary accounts of feminist solidarity are investigated in order to find a way out for establishing solidarity across difference. However, it is seen that these contemporary approaches are far from designating a driving for...

Gender, Technology, and the Designer's Work: A Feminist Review
Kaygan, Pınar (Informa UK Limited, 2016-01-01)
This article presents a critical review of the feminist design studies that have been concerned with women's disadvantaged position in technology-related fields of design. It explores these studies under two main research strands, the first of which is focused on revealing the contributions of the "exceptional" women hidden from the history of design, and the second is based on the assumption that women designers have a unique perspective that would enable them to understand better and satisfy the needs and...
