Özet
Bu yazıda kadınların birer politik aktör olarak eşitlik ve özgürleşme ideallerine yönelik ne tür söylemsel ve stratejik araçlar kullandıklarına bakılmış ve Ortadoğu toplumlarında kadınların değişen rolleri bu çerçevede değerlendirilmiştir. Ortadoğu coğrafyası, genellikle kültürel ve dinsel referanslarla tanımlanagelmiştir. Özellikle kadınlar ve kadın hareketleri söz konusu olduğunda, bu eğilim daha da belirginleşir. Ortadoğulu kadınların İslam dininin ve Ortadoğu kültürünün bazı özgül nitelikleri nedeniyle Batılı hemcinslerinden daha dezavantajlı oldukları veri olarak kabul edilir. Oysa, dünyanın her yerinde olduğu gibi Ortadoğu’da da siyasal aktörler tarihsel gelişmeleri biçimlendirir ve yönlendirir. Bu aktörlerin başında, ulus-devletler gelir. Kadınlar ve kadın örgütleri de birer “kurban” değil, politik aktörler olarak sürecin parçasıdırlar.
Focusing on the changing political agency of women in the Middle East, this article examines women’s discursive and strategic tools in the Middle East as they work to realize their ideals of equality and freedom. The Middle East has frequently been identified with reference to its culturel and religous identity. Such an identification becomes clearly visible in the way women and their movements are analyzed in the literature. It is assumed that Middle Eastern women are more marginalized than their Western counterparts as a result of Islam and Middle Eastern culture. The article explains that it would be erroneous to maintain this assuption in interpreting women’s movements in the region. Much like in other places women’s movements in the Middle East are shaped by the historical trajactories of power relations and the way they are effected by nation states. Middle Eastern women and their political organizations cannot be regarded as mere victims. They are and have been active political agents who contribute to the making and dismantling of structures that limit them.
