Abstract

Patriarchal social structure constitutes an obstacle to women's participation in social life, and in this process, it becomesimpossible for women to establish a relationship with society and experience the city. This study focuses on young womenwho practice social participation via social media in the virtual space rather than the physical space. This study aims toinvestigate how home; the physical space, contributes to young women’s life and provides opportunities for social mediaparticipation. Gender inequality, social participation difficulties, and social participation in social media form thetheoretical structure of this study. In the case study designed afterward, a semi-structured in-depth interview wasconducted face-to-face with young women (n=23) between the ages of 18-24, with low education level and low-income,in the district of Bağcılar in Istanbul. The qualitative data obtained were evaluated by the content analysis method. Themeaning of the home in this social media participation process is presented with discourses and under themes. As a result,the home, which is a family-approved place, is also a back door to the world within the technological possibilities. Thisstudy contributes to the literature by showing that the intense social media participation, which is often hidden frommasculine family members, can be used as a tool in women's awareness and education. All of which may occur at youngwomen’s homes.

Özet

Ataerkil toplum yapısı kadının toplumsal hayata katılımının önünde engel teşkil etmekte, bu süreçte kadınlarıntoplumla ilişki kurması ve kenti tecrübe etmesi imkansız hale gelmektedir. Araştırmanın konusu olan genç kadınlar fizikmekânda sağlayamadıkları toplumsal katılımı, sanal mekânda sosyal medya aracılığı ile gerçekleştirmektedir. Buçalışmanın amacı genç kadınların yoğun olarak gerçekleştirdiği sosyal medya katılımının fizik mekânı olan evin bununneresinde olduğunu ortaya koymaktır. Cinsiyet eşitsizliği, toplumsal katılım güçlüğü ve sosyal medyada toplumsalkatılım bu çalışmanın kuramsal örgüsünü oluşturmaktadır. Ardından tasarlanan vaka çalışmasında İstanbul’un Bağcılarilçesinde 18-24 yaş arası, düşük eğitimli, alt gelir grubu, genç kadınlar (n=23) ile yarı-yapılandırılmış derinlemesinegörüşme yüz yüze gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen nitel veri içerik analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Sosyal medya katılımısürecinde evin kadınlar için anlamı söylemler eşliğinde ve temalar altında sunulmuştur. Sonuç olarak aile tarafındanonaylanmış bir mekân olan ev, aynı zamanda teknolojik imkanlar dahilinde dünyaya açılan bir arka kapı konumundadır.Çoğu zaman eril aile bireylerinden gizli olarak gerçekleşen bu katılım yöntemi ve konutun buna nasıl bir sahneoluşturduğu, yoğun sosyal medya katılımının kadınların bilinçlenmesinde ve eğitiminde bir araç olarak kullanılabileceğifırsatının ortaya konulması bu çalışmanın literatüre orijinal katkısıdır.
