Özet:

Until the recent period, the woman, who had the passive character identity of male-dominated formations, was able to breathe as much as she was subject to a man and in the restricted atmosphere of the conditions offered by him. The patriarchal mindset that determines the social norms has tried to estrange her from individuality by depriving the woman of many humane qualities, except for certain roles that it recognizes. The most obvious instance of this in Turkey is village life. The realistic view of village life entered Turkish literature together with writers from the Village Institute and women were also taken part as an oppressed side in the works that the conflict of the oppressor and oppressed classes was perpetrated. While Fakir Baykurt, in his trilogy titled as Yılanların Öcü, Irazca’nın Dirliği and Kara Ahmet Destanı, gives the conflicts of Haceli and mukhtar who supports him and Irazca and her family within the framework of the oppressor and oppressed, he overtly presents the female life in the patriarchal atmosphere of village life. On the one hand, the life of a woman, which is limited both by men and poverty, is mirrored together with her wishes and expectations from the man and life, it is processed that a woman is indirectly a target of the man’s violence at any time with her passive position on the other. In this study, the situation of women in village life where patriarchal mindset preponderates within the framework of the patriarchal discourse, sexuality, violence-harassment-rape and motherhood will be examined.
