Abstract

Abstract This paper focuses on the ideology and discourses of Tekstil İṣçileri Sendikası (the Textile Workers’ Union, Tekstil) in Turkey to highlight some of the specific visions of the organized labor for an emancipatory gender politics during the 1970s. This history of intersection between gender and working-class organizing has been overlooked by the Left scholarship on the one hand and liberal feminist scholarship on the other. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by highlighting gender and class concurrently throughout the history of the transformation of gender politics in labor organizations. The history of the simultaneous development of gender-related policies in Tekstil/DİSK and TEKSİF/Türk-İṣ reveals an unexplored aspect of the contentious dynamic between rival labor organizations. Between 1975–1980, the politics of gender became another pillar in trade union competition. Following the transnational influences in this transformation, this paper highlights a forgotten period of labor organizing and locates it within the history of labor and women's movements at the national and global scale.

土耳其的工人阶级妇女、性别和工会政治，1965-1980

摘要本文关注土耳其纺织工人工会İṣçileri sendikasyi(纺织工人工会，Tekstil)的意识形态和话语，以突出20世纪70年代有组织的工人解放性别政治的一些具体愿景。性别和工人阶级组织之间的交集历史被左派学者和自由主义女权学者所忽视。本文通过在整个劳工组织性别政治转型的历史中同时强调性别和阶级来解决文献中的这一差距。Tekstil/DİSK和TEKSİF/ t rk-İṣ同时发展性别相关政策的历史揭示了竞争劳工组织之间争议动态的一个未被探索的方面。1975年至1980年间，性别政治成为工会竞争的另一个支柱。随着这种转变的跨国影响，本文突出了一个被遗忘的劳工组织时期，并将其置于国家和全球范围内的劳工和妇女运动史中。
