New social movements in the context of postmodern women's movement in the Turkey

The aim of the thesis is to show how the identities of the women actors who participate in the environmental struggle in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey are involved in a social movement and how the social movement is formed in the context of the convergence of the identities of the women actors who participate in the environmental struggle. The social and political change created by the postmodern situation has also changed the role and position of the actors. Postmodern thinkers developed their political theories, especially by referring to differences, pluralism and a heterogeneous structure. Therefore, problems such as identity and locality are constantly on the agenda. After all, postmodern politics approves a policy through new social movements. This political approach emphasizes a cultural pluralistic understanding created by the postmodern environment and an understanding that allows new social movements to freely express and organize their own demands. The location of each subject that augmenting the collectivity which focuses on new social movements, postmodern thought, by improving the perception of a new subject, a new identity and the transformation of care within the fiction of the individual to the fluidity, multi-piece, flexible in character and indicate that the same individual is located within a fluidized state. In this thesis, considering the new social movements paradigm of the Eastern Black Sea environmental struggle, the female actors are examined from within the postmodern feminism. The multi-identitie of these female actors with postmodern character show that they are converging at different points in the dimension of the struggle for the environment and forming a hegemonic political field.
