Türkiye örneğinde kritik Queer öznelliğin kesişimsel analizi

Considering the social movements as critical agents of change through challenging and subverting the authoritative legitimate values and norms by creating new subjectivities, and queer subjects as todays critical political agents, this thesis researches and discusses critical subversive agency of queer subjects against the class habitus as the normative structural constraint, from an intersectional perspective. The study analyses how queer subjects in Turkey experience the intersection of gender, sexuality, class, ethnicity and religion. The extent to which queer subjects in Turkey show the components of intersectionality is investigated. The study mainly discusses class habitus of Bourdieu as an unquestioned normative constraint and structural limit against the critical queer performativity of Butler. In other words, Bourdieu and Butler are argued in relation to one another in terms of opposing post-structuralism to constructivist structuralism. And the thesis suggests two types of habitus; critical and conservative. The study argues that the precondition of performing critical subjectivity is exhibiting critical habitus. In other words, it is claimed that the critical agency attributed to LGBTQ subjects requires critical habitus.
