Ruh ve Beden dosyasında Güler Cansu Ağören Depresyonun bireysel-sosyal, içsel-dışsal, özsel- etkilenimsel, bedensel-zihinsel gibi eril dikotomilerle çerçevelendirildiğini söylüyor ve biyomedikal depresyon anlayışının altında yatan ontolojik zemini feminist bir sorgulamaya tabii tutuyor. Binaz Bozkur ise psikolojinin kadınların güçlendirilmesi konusunun önemi bir parçası olduğunu söylüyor ve kadınlarda psikolojik güçlenmeyi ölçecek Türkçe geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirmeyi hedefliyor. Özlem Aydoğmuş Ördem ise Foucault’nun biyo-iktidar ve biyo-politika kavramları ve Turner’ın beden sosyolojisi kuramı çerçevesinde düzenleyici iktidarın söylemlerinin kadın bedenini ve makro düzeyde nüfusu nasıl etkilediğini inceliyor.

  • Engagement: Coptic Christian Revival and the Performative Politics of Song
    THE POLITICS OF (DIS)ENGAGEMENT: COPTIC CHRISTIAN REVIVAL AND THE PERFORMATIVE POLITICS OF SONG by CAROLYN M. RAMZY A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Carolyn Ramzy (2014) Abstract The Performative Politics of (Dis)Engagment: Coptic Christian Revival and the Performative Politics of Song Carolyn M. Ramzy A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Music, University of Toronto 2014 This dissertation explores Coptic Orthodox political (dis)engagement through song, particularly as it is expressed through the colloquial Arabic genre of taratil. Through ethnographic and archival research, I assess the genre's recurring tropes of martyrdom, sacrifice, willful withdrawal, and death as emerging markers of community legitimacy and agency in Egypt's political landscape before and following the January 25th uprising in 2011. Specifically, I explore how Copts actively perform as well as sing a pious and modern citizenry through negations of death and a heavenly afterlife. How do they navigate the convergences and contradictions of belonging to a nation as minority Christian citizens among a Muslim majority while feeling that they have little real civic agency? Through a number of case studies, I trace the discursive logics of “modernizing” religion into easily tangible practices of belonging to possess a heavenly as well as an earthly nation. I begin with Sunday Schools in the predominately Christian and middle-class neighborhood of Shubra where educators made the poetry of the late Coptic Patriarch, Pope Shenouda III, into taratil and drew on their potentials of death and withdrawal to reform a Christian moral interiority and to teach a modern and pious Coptic citizenry.
