ISLAMIC HAJJ IN TERMS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN IDENTITY AND SPACE A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF THE STATUS VALUE OF WOMEN

Summary/Abstract: Approaches to the representation of women's identity in prehistoric times and modern times have been evaluated in the presence of different paradigms, and the intellectual framework that the phenomenon of sacred space reveals about the ontological status of women needs to be sufficiently emphasized. In this study, the relationship between woman and space is grounded on the "human-space interaction" on the axis of sacred spaces. For this purpose, the pilgrimage, which has a deep sociological meaning along with symbolic meanings and connotations, has been examined on the axis of Islamic codes, and the concrete structure and symbolic aspects of the Islamic pilgrimage on the ontological existence and social status of women have been analyzed in different dimensions. In this context, first of all, the comprehensiveness of the conceptual framework is analyzed. On the other hand, anonymizing the interpretation style that stands out in the ideal plan regarding the typological appearances of the female identity, which is placed on an ideal intellectual ground with the pilgrimage places and rituals, has been emphasized over time. The study is based on the theoretical survey method and a complementary analysis of the sources on the subject; the intellectual context of the research is based on multidisciplinary literature in which Islamic, philological, and sociological sources are used together. In addition, the theoretical background of the subject was enriched with references to personal pilgrimage memoirs written by some women thinkers and writers. As a result, the discussion of Islamic sources and indicators related to the social identity of women, both pro and con, has drawn attention to the fact that the pilgrimage, which coincides with a sacred journey defined as the fulfillment of servitude in Islam, has a unique ground of thought. The visible female identity of Hagar as a founding actor in the Islamic pilgrimage and the symbolic richness that glorifies the identity value of women within this framework has been delayed to take its place among alternative interpretation mechanisms as it offers a deep intellectual repertoire.
