Yayın Unnecessary bleeding, unnecessary suffering: normalcy and necessity of menstruation in promoting NovaSure (R)(Routledge, 2016-08) Erol Jamieson, MaralNovaSure (R) is an endometrial ablation procedure that destroys the inner lining of uterus to stop heavy bleeding. It is performed mostly on women entering menopause who are experiencing irregular and heavy bleeding. In this article, this biotechnology, promoted for women approaching the end of their reproductive life, is analyzed. The analysis is informed by a feminist science studies and medical anthropology background. The discourse of normal' menstruation and representations of menstruation in the promotional materials for NovaSure (R) are explored through a textual analysis of the NovaSure (R) website and patient brochure. The themes in the materials analyzed include the idea of getting back to life, normal' bleeding, and having a choice among different medical procedures and interventions. The possibility of getting rid of embarrassment that accompanies heavy bleeding is also emphasized. It will be argued that NovaSure (R) contributes to the redefinition of what is natural' and necessary' by combining the unnecessary period' idea of pills such as Seasonale (R), which is aimed toward women in their reproductive years, with the unnecessary suffering' idea related to menopausal complaints. While advertising the procedure, NovaSure (R) promotional materials co-construct the ideal user for the technology and reproduce the taboos and embarrassment that accompany menstruation.Yayın Secular but conservative? youth, gender, and intimacy in Turkey(Routledge, 2023-01-01) Özbay, Cenk; Erol Jamieson, Maral; Bağcı, Çiğdem; Özkaplan, NurcanThis article contributes to studies on youth in Turkey by exploring gender, sexuality, intimacy, and relationship practices among college students. Our findings show that there is change (a) towards greater gender equality; (b) about attitudes regarding family, sexuality, and romance; and (c) in understanding and experiencing gendered violence in the groups of students we examined. Progressive values appear to become more common among the participants despite the increasingly conservative tone of the political and cultural climate. However, traditional relationship patterns and norms, including the idealization of monogamous relationships, robust familial ties, and sensitivity for moral reputation, seem prevalent even though these were not associated with the ascendant politico-religious conservatism. By constituting ‘secular but conservative’ intimate selves and relations, our respondents approve the freedom and right to explore possibilities for others, and yet not immediately for themselves, as they preserve an unequivocal moral self.Yayın No andropause for gay men? The body, aging and sexuality in Turkey(Routledge, 2018-10-03) Erol Jamieson, Maral; Özbay, CenkThis article aims to contribute to the ongoing scholarly debate about the implications of andropause in the Gender Studies literature by decentring and complicating it further using the case of Turkish gay men. Aging gay men in Turkey struggle to remain young, healthy and cool' as they use their wittiness and emotional maturity towards younger men. All of these happen at the intersection of masculinity politics and homophobia within Turkish society and the profound ageism within the global gay culture. Our questions are shaped around andropause and its absence as gay men reject and disidentify with it: Is andropause a heteronormative concept? Through the active rejection of the external outcomes of aging and andropause, mid-life Turkish gay men present an idiosyncratic vantage point to explicate the relatively understudied intersection of masculinity, homosexuality and aging in the non-western contexts. Through interviews we contend that, unlike their heterosexual equivalents, mid-life gay men do not accept andropause, but instead they develop tactics to consolidate their socially capable, self-assured and well-integrated subjectivity within the fringes of the global gay culture. Looking closer at aging gay men and their multifactorial strategies provides us the chance to grasp the ubiquitous heteronormativity inscribed in the narratives of andropause.Yayın Suriyeli mülteci kadınların temsili: temsilde stereotipler ve zorluklar(Asos Yayınevi, 2018-10-12) Pandır, Müzeyyen; Keskin, HalitBu çalışma Türk gazetelerinde Suriyeli mülteci kadın temsillerini konu edinmektedir. Toplumsal cinsiyet ve etnisite faktörlerinin kesişmesini göz önünde bulundurarak çalışma, gazetelerdeki Suriyeli kadın temsilleri "çaresizlik" ve "edilgenlik" temaları etrafında stereotipik ve hegemonik kadın ve mülteci temsillerini yeniden mi üretiyor, yoksa çeşitli temalar etrafında mülteci kadınların koşullarını, durumlarını ve hikayelerini farklı yeni biçimlerde anlatarak konvansiyonel temsillere karşı mı çıkıyor sorularına cevap aramaktadır. Çalışmada kullanılan örneklem, 2011 ve 2015 yılları arasında beş Türk gazetesinde yayınlanmış 1272 Suriyeli mülteci fotoğrafından oluşmaktadır. Çalışma özellikle mülteci kadınların hangi temalar etrafında temsil edildiği ve hangi temsil pratiklerinin kullanımıyla ne tür anlamlarla ilişkilendirildikleri konularına vurgu yapmaktadır.
