| dc.description.abstract | The present study aims to investigate the Turkish people’s views regarding feminism through Twitter posts: The Case of the Turkish Context. It intends to reveal whether feminism is presented positively or negatively in Turkey, unveil the socio-cultural factors related to the issue and conduct a comparison between tweets written in Turkish and tweets written in English for the purpose of highlighting the differences concerning their perspectives. It is a qualitative research conducted on a bilingual corpus (English and Turkish). One hundred and sixty-two (162) Turkish and foreign English tweets have been extracted from the main three (3) hashtags: #Feminizm (feminism), #IstanbulSözleşmesi (Istanbul Convention), #PınarGültekinİçinAdalet (Justice for Pınar Gültekin). The study relies on Fairclough’s theoretical framework to Critical Discourse Analysis (Fairclough, 1989) focusing on Textual Analysis with its crucial elements: Referential and Nomination Strategies, Predicational Strategies, Discursive Practice. The outcomes of the study reveal a general negative view towards feminism in the Turkish tweets. It indicates that a set of social and cultural views concerning oppression against women are related to patriarchy. Furthermore, the comparison between tweets written in Turkish and others written in English by foreigners, outline that the difference between them is related to the diversified socio-cultural perspectives and their moral principles. | en |
