Şule Toktaş

Open full text 1 citations

Abstract

The theory on patnarchy conceptualizes the position of women by oppression and regards women as objects of some exclusive form of hegemonic system. Accordingly women are manipulatèd and controlled. Such a paradigm that places women in the margins of economic, social and political life is questionable, for the experiences of women in patriarchy are not only constitutive of oppression but of reproduction, resistance and negotiation as well. In this sense, a paradigmatic shift on the theory of patriarchy is necessary by which women are subjectified with placement at the center. Subjectification refers to the treatment of women in patriarchy as active agents who are not totally powerless but have their own resources and spheres of power. How women manipulate the manipulation of them selves is central to this subjectification and so the paradigmatic shift
