Sosyal bilimlerde göç ve toplumsal cinsiyet üzerine tartışmalar, giderek gelişen bir tartışma alandır. Göç ve erkeklikler arasındaki ilişkiler, erkekler ve erkeklikler üzerine eleştirel incelemeler alanının son yıllarda göçmen erkekleri de tartışmaya başlamasıyla son yıllarda gündeme gelmiştir. Ataerkil ilişkilerin hakimi konumunda olsalar da, erkekler ve erkeklikler bu konumlarını sarsıntıya uğratabilecek krizler yaşayabilirler. “Erkeklik krizleri” fikri, erkeklerin cinsiyet kimlikleriyle ilgili yaşadıkları yoğun kaygılara işaret etmek için kullanılmaktadır. Bu konu erkekler ve erkeklikler üzerine eleştirel incelemelerin başlangıcıyla birlikte bu alanda da tartışılmaya başlanmıştır. Alanın kurucu araştırmacıları genel bir erkeklik krizinin yaşandığından söz edilemeyeceğini, ancak belirli, gruplardan erkeklerin erkeklik krizi yaşadığının altını çizmişlerdir. İzleyen süreçte erkeklik krizleri, krize yol açan farklı bağlamlara ve kriz yaşayan farklı gruplara odaklanılarak ele alınmıştır. Erkeklik krizlerine yol açan dinamiklerden biri de göçtür. Göç ve erkeklikler üzerine çeşitli çalışmalarda, son yıllarda göçmen erkeklerin gittikleri farklı kültürlerde yaşadıkları gerilimler, güçsüzleşme, bağlamından kopma, pazarlık yapma gibi farklı yaklaşımlarla ele alınmaya başlanmıştır. Bu makale, sözkonusu çalışmalara odaklanarak, ataerkil erkekliklerin göçle birlikte iktidar, statü ve toplumsal meşruiyet kaybı gibi gerilimler ve kaygılar yaşadıkları durumları erkekliğin kaybı olarak yaşanan erkeklik krizleri olarak değerlendirmeyi önermektedir.
In social sciences, discussions on immigration and social gender are an increasingly developing area of discussion. Relationships between immigration and men, the field of critical studies on men and men have been debated in recent years as immigrant men have also begun to debate. Although they are in the position of judges of patriarchal relationships, men and men can experience crises that can shock their positions. The idea of "male crises" is used to point out the intense concerns that men experience about their gender identities. This issue has been discussed in this area as well as with the beginning of critical reviews on men and men. The founding researchers of the area have not been able to say that a general male crisis has occurred, but some groups have pointed out that men have experienced a male crisis. In the follow-up process, men’s crises were addressed by focusing on the different contexts that lead to the crisis and the different groups living in the crisis. One of the dynamics that lead to male crises is migration. In various studies on immigration and masculinity, in recent years, migrants have begun to deal with different approaches such as the tensions they experience in different cultures where they go, weakness, disconnection, negotiation. This article, focusing on the study, suggests to evaluate the situations in which atherical men, along with migration, experience tensions and concerns such as the loss of power, status and social legitimacy, as men’s crises as the loss of masculinity.
The debates on migration and gender in social sciences are a growing field. In recent years, the relations between migration and masculinities have come to the fore in these debates when the field of critical studies on men and masculinities had begun to discuss migrant men. Although they are in dominant positions in patriarchal relations, men and masculinities can experience crises that may undermine these positions. The notion of “masculinity crises” is used to point out the intense discontent in the gender identities of men. With the development of critical studies on men and masculinities, masculinity crises have begun to be discussed in this field. The founding researchers of this field emphasized that a general crisis of masculinity could not be mentioned, but rather certain groups of men experiencing certain crises of masculinity. In the following years, masculinity crises began to be investigated by focusing on different contexts that lead to the crisis, and different groups that experience crisis. One of the dynamics that lead to masculinity crises is migration. In various studies on migration and masculinity, the tensions that migrant men experience have begun to be considered in recent years, adopting different approaches such as dislocation, disempowerment and bargaining. Focusing on such researches, this article proposes considering the situations that produce the tensions and anxieties, which patriarchal masculinities experience, such as loss of power, status and social legitimacy as a result of migration, as masculinity crises experienced as a loss of masculinity.
