Anaerkil Toplum Düzeni ve Seramik Sanatına Yansımaları

Abstract

The thesis report examined at the matriarchy center included examinations and research on ceramic art through the concepts of woman and mother. In Anatolia, the matriarchal lifestyle and the mother goddess cult include femininity, especially motherhood. Mother goddess figurines are known as the carrier symbol of feminine basic qualities. In the first chapter, it is emphasized that the social system in ancient times was examined with the qualitative research method and the ritual symbols were explained together with their similarities. In the second section, there are exemplary works of academic-contemporary female artists in Turkey that examine male power relations and norms, and works of international artists that include women's themes and feminine characteristics in their contemporary works of art. The entire thesis report includes various works of 12 artists from past to present within the scope of the thesis topic. In the third section, personal studies are included to draw attention to gender-based discrimination in social structures.
