Abstract

Gender roles, which are specific to a traditional family structure and accepted as a societal norm, are transforming in Turkey and all over the world. The father role of a man is affected by this transformation on both individual and societal levels. Today, the internet and communication technologies serve as a medium for the realization, representation, and propagation of transformations experienced in the perception of fatherhood through online domains where fatherhood performances are exhibited. Given this, the study focuses on online and public sharing practices on blogs according to the meanings attributed to gender roles by blogger fathers in Turkey. Based on this focus, the study addresses how men, who choose to publicly discuss fatherhood as a role associated with masculinity, perceive it, and why and how they use blogs for the exhibition of their fatherhood experiences and performances. As a result, it was found that fathers adopt the relevant fatherhood model, consider that traditional masculinity roles constitute an obstacle to their participation in fatherhood, and they have motivations such as questioning certain norms related to fatherhood and gender roles, or becoming agents to behavioral changes as well as keeping records of memories of child’s development with posts shared on blogs.

Özet

Geleneksel aile yapısına özgü, toplumca norm kabul edilmiş cinsiyet rolleri, tüm dünyada olduğu gibi Türkiye’de de bir tür dönüşüm sürecindedir. Erkeğin, aile temelli cinsiyet rollerinden biri olarak babalık rolü ve bu role dair algı da hem bireysel hem de toplumsal düzeyde bu dönüşümden etkilenmektedir. 1990’lı yılların sonlarından itibaren babalık performansının sergilenebilmesi için kullanıcıya önemli fırsatlar sunan çevrimiçi alanlar, babalık algısındaki dönüşümün gerçekleşmesine, temsiline ve yaygınlaşmasına aracılık etmektedir. Bu kapsamda gerçekleştirilen çalışma, Türkiye’deki blogger babaların cinsiyet rollerine atfettikleri anlama bağlı olarak, bloglar üzerinden gerçekleşen çevrimiçi ve kamusal paylaşım pratiklerine odaklanmaktadır. Bu odak noktasından yola çıkan çalışmada, Türkiye’deki blogger babalarla gerçekleştirilen derinlemesine görüşmeler üzerinden, babalığı kamusal olarak tartışan bu erkeklerin babalığı nasıl tanımladıkları, babalık deneyim ve performanslarının sergilenmesinde blogları neden ve nasıl kullandıkları ele alınmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, blogger babaların ilgili babalık modelini benimsediği, geleneksel erkeklik rolünün babalığa katılımlarının önünde bir engel teşkil ettiğini düşündükleri, blog paylaşımlarında çocukla ilgili anıların kaydını tutmanın yanı sıra, babalık ve toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine dair bir takım genel kabulleri sorgulatmak ya da davranış değişikliğine aracı olmak gibi motivasyonlara sahip oldukları bulgulanmıştır.
