Local peoples’ perceptions on Syrian refugees in Turkey: the case of ‘gün’ groups
(2018-07) Mete, Hatice
This study mainly investigates the perceptions on Syrian refugees in Turkey, as one of the host countries. It does so by focusing on the case of the perceptions of the local population in Mersin, a city which received a substantial number of Syrian refugees in Turkey. The research is based on the analysis of data from five “gün” groups in Mersin, which consist of occasions of females of different age and socioeconomic backgrounds on a fairly regular basis. In the context of this study, the discourses of the ‘gün’ participants will be analyzed, and the common patterns revealed in the ‘gün’ groups’ discourses as prejudiced perceptions, stereotypes and hearsays, scapegoating, ‘us’ vs. ‘them’ and discriminative discourses will be emphasized. The study concludes that the discourses of the ‘gün’ members reveal marginalization and discursive exclusion of the Syrian refugees. It underlines the function of the ‘gün’ occasions as “building blocks of society” in identity (re)formation of the Syrian refugees in everyday life. The study also draws the conclusion that marginalization and exclusion are stemming from lack of interaction, cultural differences, language obstacle and lack of trust towards the Syrian refugees.

Overcome your anger if you are a man: silencing women's agency to voice violence against women
(Pergamon Press, 2016) Akyüz, S.; Sayan-Cengiz, F.
This study traces the relation between male violence and masculinist norms that attribute political agency exclusively to men. Through critical analysis of a recent campaign initiated as an effort to fight violence against women in Turkey by addressing men as the only agents endowed with agency to solve the problem, we explore the ways in which this discourse risks marginalizing women who seek empowerment through women's solidarity. We uncover three patterns: (1) the assumption of a "cultural particularity" in Turkey nested in the traditional family structure which should allegedly be left unquestioned; (2) glorification of values attributed to the masculine; (3) taking violence as an individual problem of "anger management." We argue that this campaign is inimical to the aim it declares because by marginalizing feminist efforts to question the social and structural patterns of male violence, it deprives women of political agency essential in the struggle against this problem. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
