    “the Public Immoralist”: Discourses of Queer Subjectification in Contemporary Turkey
    (University of Southern California, 2020) Selen, Eser; Selen, Eser
    This study examines the forms of queer subjectification that have been molded through regular acts of gender- and sexuality-based violence against LGBTQ+ citizens as encouraged by the dominant religious and secular discourses in Turkey. Within that context, this article explicates the discursive mechanisms at work in the statements that were made by politicians and journalists between 2002 and 2018. In those discourses, the qualities attributed to nonheteronormative sexualities, such as perversion and disease, are perhaps the most widespread means of negating the existence of LGBTQ+ citizens and claiming that their lifestyles are “immoral.” Based on a case study that incorporates the existing historical and sociopolitical background, which props up a heteronormative patriarchal culture, this study critically analyzes the discourses that have emerged in a state of moral panic regarding queer in/visibilities, dis/appearances, and aversions/subversions in the Turkish sociopolitical sphere.

    Master Thesis
    Unsetting the Standards of Female Beauty: an Examination of Contemporary Images of Women in Advertisement
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2014) Zmiric, irma; Selen, Eser; Selen, Eser
    This study examines the representations of female beauty as a myth in print advertisements in contemporary popular culture. Within many different types of physical beauty that are made popular by mainstream advertisings this thesis explores the types of beauty myths as well as the models embodied by each. Through in depth analyses of select mass media advertisements the thesis intends to explain the myth of beauty. The thesis argues that the idea of beauty as a myth should be explored in a multilayered context affected by the patriarchal ideologies rather than just focusing on a single dimension of understanding beauty as a flattering attribute. While emphasising the similarities and differences in the types of beauty the thesis also aims to link particular types of beauty with the categories of product promoted in the selected advertisements. -- Abstract'tan.
