Abstract (EN)
This thesis analyzes two bildungsromans – Reşat Nuri Güntekin's Autobiography of a Turkish Girl and Alberto Moravia's Woman of Rome (both written by male authors, but narrated by female protagonists from a first-person perspective) – through the prism of a Japanese drag performance style josō buntai, the Madonna/whore dichotomy embodied in the two protagonists, and a transcivilizational emphasis on the construction of femininities in two different post-WWI nation-building settings (Atatürk's Turkey and Mussolini's Italy). Keywords: transvestite ventriloquism; male gaze; gender studies; Madonna/whore dichotomy; Reşat Nuri Güntekin; Alberto Moravia.
