Özet:

In the social gender concept, power produces the female body that the paternal society needs by means of "surveillance" and "look" (gaze), which are the basic mechanisms of power. The achievements of this mechanism are as follows: the female body is used to external arrangements, these arrangements optimize the female body’s abilities, waste its strengths, increases its usefulness and consistency, and integrates it into the system. As a result, a female body is created far from individuality. However, as Foucault also pointed out, the power, as it is generally known, does not only operate by pushing or pressure, but also works effectively with the experience of resistance. In other words, power "creates new possibilities and produces new things, ideas and relationships. This is also a close expression of the concept that feminists express as “powerment”. This article examines the relationship of power with the body around the body – especially the female body – and the reflection of it to the literary texts (romans) written by Turkish female writers. In general, the answers to the following questions are sought: How does power remove a woman’s body from individuality? In other words, what kind of disciplinary mechanisms the power produces to remove the female body from individuality? What kind of strength do women demonstrate through literature? Can female writers create a free/fortified female body and what narrative techniques do they use for this?
