Reiteration of the hegemonic relationship between power, masculinity and violence for the reassertion of political rule is the central feature of state of emergency regimes. In Turkey, we experience sharp and sudden shifts of power within the political and legal sphere, and these shifts impact on gender norms and gender policies. This article aims to present the effects of the security state on women’s and LGBTI individuals’ life spaces, in order to gender Turkey’s state of emergency rule. It will discuss how the weakening of the separation of powers, and the granting of extreme powers to the executive, almost completely prevent any opportunities for advancing the women and LGBTI movements’ agenda through different modalities of the three branches of the state. The emergency measures ravage many of the women and LGBTI movement’s long-term struggles and achievements. The article will also discuss the government’s interventions in Kurdish municipalities and the closing down of women’s organizations, shelters and solidarity centers; such interventions meant the violent interruption of the institutional solidarity networks that had gained women’s trust with their long-term work. Moreover, public spaces are becoming extremely insecure for women and LGBTI individuals under the regime of the security state. The conservative and militarist individuals and groups that took over public spaces are supported by the sexist rhetoric of government officials. Encouraged by their new powers, conferred to them by the state of emergency regime, the police use extensive physical violence against women during gatherings and demonstrations. Sexual harassments and torture while under custody, against female and male detainees, are widespread.The article aims to analyze the state of emergency as a mechanism that works against all kinds of anti-oppression solidarities and alliances. However, I also establish that despite all of the draconian governmental measures, and the rising sexist violence in all segments of society, women and LGBTI groups resist the state of emergency regime in solidarity.","PeriodicalId":311457,"journal":{"name":"Les cahiers du CEDREF","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125428197","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Transforming the Gendered Regime Through Reproductive Politics: Neoliberal Health Restructuring, The Debt Economy and Reproductive Rights in Turkey","authors":"Ayşe Dayı, Eylem Karakaya","doi":"10.4000/cedref.1150","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/cedref.1150","url":null,"abstract":"The “Health Transformation Program,” started by the AKP (Justice and Development Party) in 2003 in Turkey, is part of the global neoliberal “Health Sector Reforms-HSRs” which have been undertaken since the late 1980s and early 1990s with the support of World Bank advisers and reports, in various ‘developing’ countries such as Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, always with the rationale of a “health crisis” (increasing costs of health care), a need to prevent public corruption and bring “efficiency.” Similar to these other contexts, the Turkish health reform or health restructuring as we call it, comprised changes to finance mechanisms and provision of care and introduced a premium-based compulsory health coverage system. Alongside the neoliberal policies, there has also been a rise in the New Right under the AKP regime, which had at its center anti-women discourses, policies and implementations, including a pronatalist discourse and implementations and statements equating abortion with murder. To contribute to the existing feminist literature that analyzes the intricate links between capitalism, neoliberalism and gender, especially on connecting the latest stage of neoliberalism–the debt economy- to reproductive rights, we designed a multisite feminist research to investigate the effects of neoliberal health-structuring on reproductive rights in Turkey, France and the U.S. Our theoretical groundings are in transnational feminist theory and writings on the state of neoliberalism and the debt economy, especially those of Lazaratto and Berardi. In this paper, we discuss our findings in Turkey, especially the focus-group interviews with healthcare providers working in family health centers, in order to reveal how the gender regime in Turkey is being transformed via reproductive and body politics. Analyzing our existent data on Turkey in light of the writings on the debt economy, we observed the neoliberal mechanisms of the dismantling of the public/privatization and the creation of individual debt and quantification of care (as related to mathematization of life and language). We witnessed how these neoliberal mechanisms interact with the conservative discourse leading to the erosion of women’s rights to access contraceptive and abortion care in Turkey and a transformation of the gender regime through the alteration of its reproductive politics.","PeriodicalId":311457,"journal":{"name":"Les cahiers du CEDREF","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133800775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since feminist counter discourses are considered an interactive part of the public opinion-building process, instead of focusing only on the arguments of feminist intellectuals and activists, critical discourses of different oppositional groups, including feminist ones, are analysed in relational and historical terms. In this paper, the AKP’s long lasting hegemony will be analysed in two different phases. In each phase, there are important changes in the discursive framework of oppositional groups, as the AKP’s governmentality or governmental rationality (strategy to construct social consensus) shifts from conservative-neoliberal to a more authoritarian neoliberal mode. The paper argues that despite their success in scrutinising the Kemalist nationalism and modernisation project, any of those counter-critical positions, including feminist opposition, could be effective against the AKP’s hegemonic rule based on neoliberalism. This argument resonates with Fraser’s* historical analysis of second-wave feminism’s failure against neoliberalism in the West, in respect to the transformation to a post-Fordist, transnational, and neoliberal capitalism. Despite being critical of Fraser’s approach, I find the following question very relevant: has there been a subterranean elective affinity between second-wave feminism conjointly with its New Left counterpart, and neoliberalism? This is a hot topic of discussion for feminists in the AKP’s second period. The paper finally analyses different theoretical-political positions and discursive limits of this debate, which seems very productive for any oppositional group to develop a more comprehensive and sophisticated theoretical analysis of noeliberalism. Providing an alternative theoretical framework that bypasses the failures of the above-mentioned positions is another issue going beyond the limits of this paper.* Fraser, Nancy; Henry A. and Louise Loeb, (2007) “Feminist Politics in the Age of Recognition: A Two-Dimensional Approach to Gender Justice”, Studies in Social Justice, Volume 1, Number 1, Winter 2007; Fraser, Nancy (2009), “Feminism, Capitalism and the Cunning of History”, New Left Review, Mart-April, p. 97-117; Fraser, Nancy (2013), Fortunes of Feminism: From State-Managed Capitalism to Neoliberal Crisis, London and New York: Verso.","PeriodicalId":311457,"journal":{"name":"Les cahiers du CEDREF","volume":"169 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128352604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
