Stranger at home: The everyday life struggle and tactics of the georgian female domestic workers in Ankara

This research, which is based on the idea of identifying the aspects of the complex relationship between Georgian female domestic workers who live in Ankara and their householders who are also their employers, uses the subaltern studies and the critical theory written on everyday life. The data acquired thanks to the experiences which were told during the face-to-face interviews that I conducted with the agency officials, householders-employers and female domestic workers, were analyzed by the discourse analysis method by associating them with the concept of tactics of Michel de Certeau. This research, which aims in the first place to offer an analysis of the personal space struggle of the female domestic workers corresponding to only a certain dimension in the dynamism of everyday life and the space defence of the householders in return, ultimately shed light on the stereotype construction, the principle of reciprocity and the existence of the tactical outputs. Key words: Migrant Female Domestic Workers, Tactics, Subalternity, Everyday Life
