“Ulus”un Makbul Kadınları: Rövanşist Kent Politikaları Bağlamında Bir Değerlendirme**

Bu çalışma “rövanşist kent” kavramını analitik bir lens olarak kullanarak Ulus bölgesindeki neoliberal kentsel yenileme sürecinin“makbul” kadın kurgusuna etkilerini tartışmaktadır. Ulus bölgesinde bulunan Bentderesi genelevinin yıkılması sonrasında seks işçileribu bölgeden çeşitli şekillerde uzaklaştırıldı. Ulus bölgesi Ankara’nın manevi merkezi olarak pazarlanmaya başlandı ve muhafazakâraile odaklı bir mekân haline geldi. Radikal modernite ve neoliberal rövanşist dönem olarak tanımladığım iki dönemde seks işçilerineyönelik uygulamaları ve “makbul” kadının tanımının değişimine etkisini tartışacağım. “Üçlü ikilik” kavramını kullanarak “makbul”kadının tanımı değişirken seks işçilerinin her daim bir “öteki” olarak kurgulandığına değinecek ve dolayısıyla ataerkilliğin süreklilikve kopuşlarını analiz edeceğim.

In Search for Femina Grata: Revanchist UrbanPolicies in a Historical District of Turkey

This study uses the analytical lens of the “revanchist city” to examine the neoliberal urban renewal processes in Ulus, a historicaldistrict in Ankara, Turkey’s capital city, in which prostitutes work. This study takes a comparative approach to examine theconstruction of femina grata by analyzing the law, practices, and political projects in relation to women in the radical modernityperiod of Turkey. It also analyzes current neoliberal revanchist interventions that have taken place in Ulus and looks at their gendered meanings in accordance with implemented urban renewal strategies. I mainly argue that neoliberal revanchist policiescarried out in Ulus aim to cultivate city spaces for capital and attract families who engage in pious activities, and thus do not includethose women and families who remain secular through the creation of a moment of “triple dualism.”
