Feminism as a political act defines this world order as patriarchal and contemplates on deconstructing the ways in which women are oppressed through a series of socially-, culturally- and ideologically- constructed gender identities. Thus, speculative fiction, together with its thematic and narratological properties, may offer an opportunity for women writers to speculate on how patriarchal constructions of sex and gender can be eliminated and what alternatives can be suggested in return. Feminist speculative fiction begun to be produced in the West in the 1960s and 70s, roughly, whereas in Turkey, the production begun as late as the 1990s, which corresponds to the revival of women’s movement in Turkey after the 1980s.

Avrupa devletlerinin bu konudaki talepleri ve Osmanlı Devleti’nin buna karşı koymaya çalışması son derece ilgi çekici ve ibret alınması gereken bir süreçtir. Konunun yayınlarda ele alınışına bağlı olarak önce müzeciliğin dünyada nasıl ortaya çıktığına değineceğiz. Müze Kavramı ve Dünyada Müzeciliğin Başlaması Günümüzdeki anlam ve işleviyle müzeciliğin dünyada ne zaman başladığı konusunda değişik görüşler ileri sürülmüştür. Türkiye’de ilgili yayınlar bazıla- rı çelişkili, yetersiz bilgiler tekrarlanıp durmuştur. Yunan mitolojisindeki her biri güzel sanat dallarının koruyucusu olan, tanrı Zeus’un dokuz kızının ortak adı olan mousa kelimesinden geldiği, Atina’daki bir tepeye veya tepedeki bir odaya müze denildiği, Helenistik dönemde İskenderiye, Bergama, Antakya, Roma’da içinde kütüphaneler ve kıymetli eşyalar olan müzeler kurulduğu belirtilmiştir. Bu bilgilere doğrudan atıf da yapılmadığı için karmaşanın ana kaynaklardaki bilgi azlığından mı yoksa yorumların yetersizliğinden mi kay- naklandığını bilmiyoruz. Bu müzelerde toplanılan kıymetli eserlerin neler olduğu, kıymetlerinin madenlerinden dolayı mı yoksa işlevlerinden mi kay- naklandığı, bunların hangi amaçla buralara konulduğu açıklanmamıştır.

A great learning curve but I was more interested in the ...By Sandy FischerWell done Buket Uzuner, As a foreigner to Turkey this book is a must as it introduced the many religious, social and ethnic people of this land. A great learning curve but I was more interested in the sub characters than in the romantic main two characters apart from their descriptions of sexual intercourse which is of course enlightening for every women the world over.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. In transitBy John L MurphyThe conceit is promising. This novel begins and ends as if the city narrates "herself" to us. But this idea fades and only appears in the middle of the novel rarely. Instead, Buket Uzuner introduces, as so many writers who teach, a professor protagonist. She may be a biologist like the author, but except for a florid paean to lavender, which makes sculptor Ayhan fall for her, there's little hint of this.The bulk of this takes place in the Ataturk Airport.
