- ArticleAçık Erişim2020Woman in the Context of Existentialist Freedom: Simone de Beauvoir and The Second Sex
Aydinalp, Esra Basak
Simone de Beauvoir, the writer of The Second Sex, as an activist, philosopher and feminist who profoundly influenced cultural and literary studies in the twentieth century, is a crucial committed arid intellectual writer. The Second Sex, written during the Second World War in France, forced the intellectuals, not only in France but also those from all over the world, to reconsider the question of woman in details. In The Second Seal Beauvoir examines the positioning of woman as the other against the man who is the absolute. In her oeuvre, she not only scrutinises in detail the cultural, social and historical layers of this positioning of woman as Other against man who is the Absolute, but also, she explores the lack of self-consciousness of woman and the imposition of this othemese by men. In this study, the Woman/Man dialectics will be read from immanence/transcendence, freedom/responsibility dichotomies in the context of the existentialist philosophy.The aim is to demonstrate the degradation of woman in a secondary position in patriarchal societies, the social and cultural conceptualisation of woman's position. In this context, man defined the existence of woman freed from essential existential mechanisms. Nevertheless, in the existentialist philosophy, existence precedes essence. Beauvoir deciphers the reasons of woman to not reject the hegemony of man by revealing the status of the woman myth. The main objective is to search for the possibilities of woman existence founded on responsibility and freedom, and to retrace the reflections of these possibilities in today's world.

Aydinalp, Esra Basak
By deconstructing the phallogocentric occidental thinking with a new creativity and writing practice and the masculine domination, Luce Irigaray, Helene Cixous and Julia Kristeva developed a new dynamic of feminine criticism. They criticised the negligence of feminine writing in philosophical and literary texts. In this study, The researcher intends to do a comparative lecture of feminine writing of Zeynep Kacar's Kobuk and Helene Ckous' Inside based on the essays written by Cixous in 1975 entitled The Laugh of Medusa and Outways. By following the traces of Derrida's Grammatology, Helene Cixous develops feminine writing by deconstructing the perception of historical writing conquered by the masculine structure and rhetoric movement. By dissociating the law from the symbolic, she composes her ideas on feminine writing and sexual difference. The aim of this research is to investigate Kabuk and Inside on the dichotomies of body/ soul, woman/man, life/death, and writing/speech, I/other as it is stated as more than one language by Derrida. Thus, the researcher aims to trace the feminine creativity, aesthetics that is transferred, changed and disseminated continuously in Derrida's words. The aim is to read Gxous'auto-fictive book which reaches the dream of reality and the outside of the inside via an interior-writing and Kacar's book which tries to arrive from the soul to body via an interior-voice and to deconstruct the phallus-centered death, man, speech and self by life, woman, writing and other.
