    The Work of Sacrifice: Framing Gender Politics, Racialization and the Significance of Islam in the Lives of Ajda Pekkan and Konca Kuris
    (2007) Selen E.
    This essay examines the roles of women's lives in contemporary Turkey as ‘the work of sacrifice’ wherein tragedy and irony take place simultaneously. I will present one of the major Turkish female singers, Ajda Pekkan, articulating her relationship to womanhood as an endpoint on the continuum that represents the ‘Turkish women’. In contrast, I will assess the case of Konca Kuris, a Turkish Muslim feminist, who stands at the other end of the continuum, and explore her tragic death as a primary sacrifice. Western discourse has framed the ‘woman question’ in a way that problematizes secularisms and Islamic practices. This problematization will serve as the initial momentum to assign sacrifice as a notion that lies in between the object—secular Islam—and the subject—Turkish women—of analysis. Thus, ‘sacrifice’ will be explored as a performative notion, in order to understand, mediate and measure gender performativity in contemporary Turkey. © 2007 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
