There is a critical nexus between gendered bodies and successful political transformation through a convergence of religious conservatism and neoliberalism in contemporary politics of world. The discursive practices of this political transformation have developed on specific problematizations revolving around gendered sexualities. Tracing these problematisations, this lecture seeks to find out the questions as to how conservative virtues regarding female sexuality regulate heteronormative performances in the new gender regime and how conservative values construct the female body as inherently imbued with gendered roles and sexuality. Bringing these themes together, this lecture provides insights on the relationship between political transformation, anti-feminism and new conservative neoliberal female subjectivities.
This lecture points out an analytical framework for the heteronormative performances of ideal women within the past and present gender regimes. From this foundation, the lecture illustrates this through the new gender regime that has emerged in post-2002 Turkey, which is built on religiously conservative values that touch on traditional sensitivities too.
