Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
This is a course targeted for graduate students in the area of social history or social sciences, especially for those students who are interested in intercultural studies. The course will be designed as lecture series of 12 weeks, an hour long lecture by the instructor, followed by a discussion of half an hour at each meeting. The aim is to discuss the issues of modernization, nationalism, nation-building and women’s rights in relation to each other, focusing on the case of the foundation of the Turkish Republic in 1923. The history of modernization movements in the Ottoman Empire and political developments in the Balkans as well as Middle Eastern societies in the process of dissolution of the Empire will be briefly set as background information to comprehend the historical heritage of the Republic and to enable the students to develop a comparative historical perspective. Modernization movements in the late Ottoman period (especially in the 2nd Constitutional period 1908-1918) and the gender ideologies included in the political ideologies of Ottoman and later Turkish nationalism and patriotism will be discussed within a framework of interrelated ideas such as motherland, nationhood, mobilization of men and women in the nation-building process both as soldiers and as functionaries of the nation-state and perhaps also as “equal citizens”. The history of the Ottoman women’s movement and the reforms about women’s rights after the culmination of the Republic, advocated by the founding father Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, will be discussed within such a framework of “national feminism”. The official ideology, namely Kemalism, the principles of which were defined by Mustafa Kemal as the founding principles of the Republic as well as the founding political party, Republican People’s Party, will be critically evaluated with its assets and liabilities for the type of political culture and gender regime established in early Republican Period till about 1950’s and also with some of its continuing effects in the later years. Apart from Kemalist feminism, which is basically engaged in the celebration and furthering of Kemalist reforms about women’s rights, the rise of a second-wave feminism in the midst of 1980s and a growing Islamicist women’s movement in connection to the Islamicist parties getting empowered from the 1990s onward and with the final success of Justice and Development Party in 2002 will also be included in the topics for discussion. That is, in the final sessions, the different veins of discourse within the current public discussions will be analyzed in relation to each other with the references to the offered gender regimes and with connection to the histories of modernization under construction by Islamicist and secular parties today.
