Abstract: (17 Views) |
The aim of this descriptive -analytical research is to explore the feminist subject's narrative of religion and tradition. This critical - interpretative study has been done by thematic analysis and semi-in-depth interview technique with 37 women as feminist subjects. Based on the results, 14 sub-themes, 4 main themes and the overarching theme of " The decline of the legitimacy of religious authority" were obtained. The misogynistic approach of the institution of religion and tradition and the clarification of gender discrimination and inequalities with biased perceptions reproduces patriarchy. The narrative of the feminist subject reflects the ideological approach of the dominant political system and therefore reproduces the patriarchal tradition. The reactionary approach and role change of the clergy reduces their social credibility and legitimacy, although rationality causes activists criticize and protest to the structure and the feminist subject emerges. The conscious interpretation of the situation, has transformed women into transformative subjects. Women try to remove prohibitions and restrictions through deconstructive actions.
