WOMEN PLAY/SING THE EARTH -
In gender relationships next to arguments of the dominant structure (patriarchal) gender-based othering brings with itself distinctive living practices. We can clearly observe extensions of the said living practices in idea and artistic productions just like in every area of social life. Since the 1970’s fight against insufficient information on women and social constructions produced by women that are at the center of the said gender othering found place in basic pursuits of ethnomusicology and performance arts just like all areas of social sciences with the influence of feminist movement. The requirement to make detections about women in every area is sourced from gender-based othering that is in traditional social structure as well as in modern and postmodern social structures while musical productions of women who became a disadvantageous group in social structure patterns reveal the need to approach their ways of appearance in daily and special rituals with their musical performances through various layers. “women identity in society” as one of the most important factors in genderbased research will be the main focus of this symposium. With the symposium we invite researchers, artists working in the area to come together, discuss, and share information in order to rewrite and construct history of art and thought in multiple layers while examining them with an interdisciplinary interaction and production.
