abstract:High rates of gender-based violence and sexist political rhetoric are central features of contemporary Turkey. This article explores the complex relationship between the two by drawing on the literature that investigates the (re)making of the category of “woman” in the Middle East and the scholarship on femicide/feminicide. The article employs critical discourse analysis of ruling politicians’ gender-normative statements and shows how they reconstruct the category of “proper woman” as one with institutional and social consequences that compromise women’s safety. Using John L. Austin’s theory of performative speech acts, the article develops a theory of the speaking state to explain the effects of political speech. Ultimately it argues that the politics of “woman making” is central to “the politics of woman killing.”

杀戮女性和说话状态

摘要：基于性别的暴力和性别歧视的政治言论的高发率是当代土耳其的核心特征。本文通过借鉴研究中东“女性”类别（重新）制定的文献和杀害女性/杀害女性的学术研究，探讨两者之间的复杂关系。这篇文章对执政的政治家的性别规范声明进行了批判性话语分析，并展示了他们如何将“正统女性”这一类别重构为具有损害女性安全的制度和社会后果的类别。使用约翰 L. 奥斯汀的表演性言语行为理论，文章发展了一种言语状态理论来解释政治演讲的影响。最终，它认为“制造女人”的政治是“杀害女人的政治”的核心。
