Abstract:

Individuals’ gender identities and their roles ascribed to these identities are not the natural result of biological sex, but are culturally constructed by the sociocultural structure. In order to explain the construction of social identities, in this study, using Schutz’s concept of “Stock of Knowledge”, it has been tried to reveal how negative descriptions of female identity stigmatize women’s identity within the concept of culture. The study is limited to the example of proverbs because it consists of culture, social ethics and values, customs and traditions, language and belief elements and is comprehensive. For data analysis in the context of proverbs in the study; The Proverbs and Idioms Dictionary, which is the work of Ömer Asım Aksoy published by the Turkish Language Association, and the Proverbs and Idioms in the Dialects of the Region published by the Turkish Language Association were used. Among the 7898 proverbs found in the related works, 66 proverbs containing stigmatizing descriptions of the identity of women were identified. 66 proverbs determined were subjected to “Interpretative Phenomenological” analysis by using the computer-aided qualitative data analysis program. As a result of the analysis, three different themes, namely “Woman’s Character Traits”, “Man’s View of Woman”, “Woman’s Relationships with Man”, about female identity have emerged in the relevant proverbs. It was concluded that he was stigmatized as “Unreliable”, “Deceitful”, “Spiteful”, “Ungrateful”, “Wasteful”, “Worthless” and “Incompetent”.
