Dizilerde Üretilen Kadın ve Erkek Rolleri: Ece Dizisi Örneği

Bu çalışma, mevcut toplumsal cinsiyet algılarına yabancı olan bir kadının gündelik yaşamındaki deneyimlerini etnometodolojik bir bakışla analiz etmeyi amaçlar. Ece dizisinin toplam 26 bölümü 6-8 ay gibi bir sürede söylem analizi üzerinden incelenmiş, sergilenen kadın ve erkek rollerinin arkasında yatan toplumsal algılar ve önyargılar açığa çıkarılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda televizyon dizisinde sunulan kadın ve erkek rollerinin, günlük hayatlarındaki sosyal rolleri içselleştirdikleri ve bu rollere uygun davranış kalıplarını sundukları görülmüştür. Ayrıca kadınlar için toplumda var olan klişeleşmiş fikirler bu çalışmada da geçerliliğini korumuştur. Ece dizisinde sunulan güçlü kadın imgesi, diğer dizilerden farklı olarak bir erkeğe karşı güçsüz, muhtaç ve savunmasız bir şekilde sunulmamaktadır. Bunun sebebi dizideki güçlü kadın imgesini sahneleyen kadının, senaryo gereği, halen bir erkek zihnine sahip olmasıdır. Çalışmanın bir diğer sonucu ise bireylerin cinsiyet değişimi gibi ciddi bir dönüşüm geçirmediği sürece, toplumdaki erkek ve kadın rollerinin üretilen imgeler olduğunu anlamalarının imkânsızlığında yatmaktadır. Bir erkeğin, kadının günlük yaşamında maruz kaldığı toplumsal önyargıları anlayabilmesi için kadın bedeninde yaşaması gerekmiştir.

Roles of Women and Men Produced on TV Series: The Sample of Ece (The Turkish Soap Opera Series)

This study aims to analyse the daily experiences of a woman who is strange to the existing social gender perceptions, with an ethnomethodologically point of view instead of looking for her role which needy and powerless against a man. A total of 26 chapters of the series were analysed by discourse analysis over a period of 6-8 months. As a result, it was observed that the men and women presented in the television series internalized the social roles in their daily lives and presented the behaviour patterns that were appropriate to these roles. Besides, the stereotyped ideas that existed in society for women remained valid in this study. Because of the reason for the existence of the strong woman presented in Ece, as different from other TV series, is still she has a male mind. In addition, the other result of the study is the impossibility of understanding how produced images are the male and female roles in society unless individuals undergo a serious transformation, such as gender transition.
