Abstract:

Women’s work increased especially after the Second World War, and these studies have developed many critical views on the top stories that are dominant in the modernity paradigm. It must be addressed in a historical and simultaneous continuity of how women are represented and how they represent themselves. From the verbal culture to the modern new media culture, because the dominant culture of men has left women out of the socio-political sphere and has become representatives of popular culture. This study addressed the historical representation of women involved in the oral culture and a sociological perspective of how women in the new media represent themselves from a socio-political perspective. The study examined the representative characteristics of 10 women represented in oral culture and 10 women represented in the new media phenomenon Instagram. The data of the study is interpreted in the quality design thematically by the tube-created content analysis. The results of the study show that the woman is sociopolitically suppressed in the oral culture and is also represented by her fertility, beauty, attraction and emotional characteristics. In the new media, it appears that the woman does not share socio-political issues and is on the forefront in non-risk issues such as beauty, attractiveness, travel, intelligence, fashion and social responsibility. The study shows that women in the new media generally do not share social-political issues such as inequality, injustice, discrimination and violence against women. It is believed that women will have a significant impact on the transformation of society by discussing socio-political issues within the framework of the post-productive paradigm that does not rely on the new media and the subjective categories.
