Abstract

Social daily events are shaped under the influence of various factors. However, among the most crucial factors is the state, formed by the society itself and tasked with maintaining order. The state can shape the routines in our daily lives with the rules and laws it establishes, direct through educational policies, and reinforce the intended messages through media channels. In this context, there exists an organic connection between the gendered state policies and the gendered society. This study originated from the idea of measuring how the state exerts an impact on social daily events through the judiciary and media. Proceeding from here, the aim is to examine how divorce, a phenomenon that could be considered a social daily event and concerns both genders (men and women) equally, is portrayed in judicial decisions and the media. In this way, by analyzing Supreme Court rulings, the intention is to seek answers to questions about what criteria are used to determine fault, and whether a gendered policy effect exists for the party deemed at fault. Similarly, by examining the news provided by the official broadcasting organ of the Republic of Turkey (TRT), using the keyword "divorce," the study aims to find answers to the research question. The study data covers the years 2018 to 2023, and due to the abundance of Supreme Court results, a random selection of 100 verdicts was made, and a thematic analysis was conducted. In the media image analysis, 135 news articles were obtained and all were examined. Headlines were analyzed thematically, and images were examined through visual analysis. In conclusion, the findings support the claim that in Turkey, regarding social daily events, the judiciary and media possess an indirect yet influential role in direction.

Özet

Sosyal günlük olaylar, çeşitli faktörlerin etkisi altında şekillenir. Bununla birlikte, en önemli faktörlerden biri, toplum tarafından oluşturulan ve düzeni koruma görevi üstlenen devlettir. Devlet, kurduğu kurallar ve yasalarla günlük yaşantımızdaki rutinleri şekillendirebilir, eğitim politikaları aracılığıyla yönlendirebilir ve medya kanalları aracılığıyla amaçlanan mesajları pekiştirebilir. Bu bağlamda, cinsiyet temelli devlet politikaları ile toplum arasında organik bir bağ bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, devletin yargı ve medya aracılığıyla sosyal günlük olaylar üzerinde nasıl bir etki yaptığını ölçme fikrinden ortaya çıkmıştır. Buradan hareketle, hem erkekleri hem de kadınları eşit şekilde ilgilendiren boşanma gibi toplumsal günlük bir olayın nasıl tasvir edildiğini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu şekilde Yargıtay kararlarını analiz ederek, kimin kusurlu olarak kabul edildiğini belirlemek için hangi kriterlerin kullanıldığına ve kusurlu/ağır kusurlu olarak kabul edilen taraf için cinsiyet temelli bir politika etkisinin olup olmadığı sorularına yanıt aranmaktadır. Benzer şekilde, bu çalışma, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin resmi yayın organı olan TRT tarafından sunulan haberleri inceleyerek, "boşanma" anahtar kelimesini kullanarak araştırma sorularına yanıt bulmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma verileri 2018’den 2023’e kadar olan yılları kapsamakta olup, Yargıtay kararlarının fazla olması nedeniyle 100 kararın rastgele seçimi yapılmış ve tematik bir analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Medya görüntü analizi kapsamında 135 haber makalesi elde edilmiş ve hepsi incelenmiştir. Başlıklar tematik olarak analiz edilmiş ve görsel analiz yoluyla görüntüler incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bulgular, Türkiye’de sosyal günlük olaylar konusunda yargının ve medyanın dolaylı ancak etkili bir yönlendirme rolüne sahip olduğu iddiasını desteklemektedir.
