Özet:

 This study focuses on gender policies of Turkey, an EU candidate country, during the coronavirus pandemic. and examines the feminist movement as an epistemic struggle against the epistemic injustice created by male-dominated knowledge production. This struggle can be considered as an epistemic struggle to the extent that it includes a critique of the conservative patriarchys hierarchical perspective that prioritizes men over women and criticizes the normals constructed by the male-dominated perspective that relegate women to a secondary position. Following the literature that suggests that a gender perspective is needed to explain the success of conservative populism worldwide, this study argues that disasters such as pandemics are socially constructed by conservative populists in a way that increases their power and hegemony over society. This study will examine the forms and discourses of the feminist movement against the rising anti-gender policies in Turkey during the pandemic.

 Bu çalışma, ABye aday ülke olan Türkiyenin koronavirus pandemisi dönemindeki toplumsal cinsiyete ilişkin politikalarına odaklanır ve feminist hareketi erkek egemen bilgi üretiminin yarattığı epistemik adaletsizliğe karşı bir epistemik mücadele olarak inceler. Söz konusu mücadele, muhafazakâr patriyarkanın erkeği kadına önceleyen hiyerarşik bakış açısının eleştirisini içerdiği ve erkek-egemen bakış açısının inşa ettiği ve kadını ikincil konuma düşüren normalleri eleştirdiği ölçüde epistemik bir mücadele olarak ele alınabilir. Muhafazakâr popülizmin dünya çapındaki başarısını açıklayabilmek için toplumsal cinsiyet perspektifine ihtiyaç duyulduğunu öne süren literatürü takip ederek, bu çalışma pandemi gibi felaketlerin muhafazakâr popülistler tarafından toplum üzerindeki güç ve hegemonyalarını artıracak şekilde toplumsal olarak kurgulandığını öne sürer. Bu çalışmada, pandemi döneminde Türkiyede yükselen toplumsal cinsiyet karşıtı politikalara karşı feminist hareketin mücadele biçimleri ve söylemleri incelenecektir.
