Toplumsal Cinsiyetin Aktarım Aracı Olarak Çocuk Kitapları: Zeyno Kitapları Serisi Örneği

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to reveal how gender roles are reflected in the Zeyno Series, one of Ahmet Büke’s children’s books. For this purpose, the research was designed with a case study, one of the qualitative research designs. Obtained data were collected by document analysis method. The object of study of the study is the Zeyno Books Series, which consists of Ahmet Büke’s works titled” Alas, My Father Writes Poetry, My Mother in Space, Joyful Days, My Mat is on My Top, Kapiş Paçamda”. The data obtained through document review were analyzed and interpreted through content analysis. According to the findings, the responsibilities, occupations, personal characteristics and linguistic expressions given to the male and female characters have taken them out of the ongoing perception of gender. Considering the professions of the characters, it is seen that stereotyped gender roles are not encountered, responsibilities are given more to the male character, and the female character is the one who is open and strong to the outside world. When the images reflecting the gender are examined, it is concluded that the occupational groups associated with gender, the choice of clothes and accessories attributed to gender, the objects and colors associated with the characters, the use of bodily power and the association with the outdoors are not supported by traditional gender roles.
