ABSTRACT

Numerous studies have analyzed Turkey’s Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) under the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government. This article focuses on the Diyanet’s new role in the politics of the family and argues that this role constitutes the main channel for its institutional expansion. By discussing the female preachers employed to reach more women and the Family Guidance Bureaus established to strengthen the family through religious guidance, the article looks at the ways in which both have expanded Diyanet’s institutional capacity to reshape gender and family relations along state-sanctioned religious lines. It also suggests that desecularization may offer a conceptual framework with which the implications of Diyanet’s expansion through familialist policies can be analyzed.

抽象的

大量研究已经分析了正义与发展党（AKP）政府领导下的土耳其宗教事务总统（Diyanet）。本文重点介绍Diyanet在家庭政治中的新角色，并认为该角色构成了其机构扩张的主要渠道。通过讨论雇用更多女性的女传教士以及通过宗教指导建立的旨在加强家庭的家庭指导局，本文探讨了这两种方式都扩大了Diyanet的机构能力，以沿着国家认可的宗教路线重塑性别和家庭关系。它还暗示非世俗化可能提供一个概念框架，通过该框架可以分析迪亚内特通过家族主义政策扩张的影响。
