KADIN VE ŞİDDET: MANVES CİTY’DE ŞİDDETİN TÜRLERİ (FİZİKSEL, EKONOMİK VE CİNSEL ŞİDDET)
WOMEN AND VIOLENCE: TYPES OF VIOLENCE IN MANVES CITY (PHYSICAL, ECONOMIC AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE)

Summary/Abstract: Latife Tekin has focused on the issue of women with a special sensitivity in almost all her works since her first work, Sevgili Arsız Ölüm (1983), and has dealt with women in the home, social life and working life. She focused on issues such as gender inequality, oppression of women in patriarchal society, gender-based acceptance of women, deprivation of women's rights to life, equality, freedom and security. On the other hand, it has also processed the phenomenon of violence, which turns the lives of women into a nightmare and is perceived as a "disease of the age", with its sources and consequences. In Manves City, published in the same year with her latest novel, Sürüklenme (2018), it is seen that the various aspects of violence are described in more dimensions than in other works of the author. Tekin draws attention to the phenomenon of violence, which is a "health problem" and "violation of human rights", with its forms reflected in the public and private sphere. She tried to raise awareness of the reader by emphasizing all physical, sexual, economic and psychological forms of violence, its causes and especially its negative and destructive consequences on women and girls. In Tekin's work, in which she examines the issues of violence against women and gender discrimination by developing different perspectives, violence is seen in all areas of life and in every layer of society. In her work, Tekin deals with the socio-psychological status of women in particular, revealing the theme of violence in a small neighborhood rather than the acts of violence in big cities, and explains the increasing violence in parallel with technological developments and environmental degradation. From this perspective, in this study, the phenomenon of violence in the novel Manves City and the types of violence, physical, sexual and economic, are examined through female identity.
