Abstract

This article aims to understand the relations of power, resistance and gender in a public high school in Turkey by means of a critical ethnographic research conducted in 2005. It suggests that the neo-liberal transformation of Turkey within last twenty years resulted in a structural crisis of education whereby public schools have been reduced to function like a 'correction house' taming the 'unruly' young people. This constitutes the root cause of the acute crisis of authority and resistance in high schools. As we concluded from our research, this resistance culture is mainly of masculine character. Consequently, the role of the school in the reproduction of gender identities is principally realised through provoking a masculine resistance culture, the 'emancipatory' dimension of which is overwhelmed by its oppressive character.
