Türkiye'de yayın yapmakta olan Vogue ve Ala dergileri üzerinden bir toplumsal cinsiyet okuması yapan Sydney Alfonso, "A 'White' Tie Affair?" makalesinde "beyaz" ve "siyah" olarak adlandırdığı seküler ve muhafazakar elitlerin modayla ilişkilerini ortaya koyuyor. Farklı ideolojilerden beslenmelerine rağmen iki derginin de tüketim kültüründen ve yerleşik kadın-erkek rollerinden beslendiğinin altını çiziyor.
A “White” Tie Affair? The Nationalist Discourse of “Black and White” Females in Turkish Fashion Magazines, Sydney Alfonso, 2012.
While most research on the discourses of globalization is consistently western and masculine, feminist geography is about grounding, locating, mapping and linking empirical realities that maintain female personal identities (Nagar et al. 2002; Hyndman). It is important to note that feminist geography does not simply concentrate on the differences between women and men but on how these identities impact individual women. By analyzing the nationalist discourse of Vogue and Alá through a feminist geographic lens, I hope to highlight how both magazines silence and conflate women’s personal identities within Turkey’s geopolitical sphere.
