- Abstract
Starting from the assumption that social, cultural and political structures shape the experience of motherhood, this study aims to conduct a discussion on the position of motherhood being reproduced and transformed in the focus of various discourses. In this sense, the main axis of this study to examine the debates carried out in the focus of motherhood from the historical and cultural contexts and to discuss the meanings attributed to motherhood in a theoretical framework. The reality that the economic, social and political discourses of each period mediate the emergence of different motherhoods, and the most prominent role of womanhood identity is the motherhood (regardless of age, class, education race) has made a critical sociological discussion necessary. Motherhood is always approached as a problematic topic in different thought practices, it is also seen as an important determinant of womanhood identity. It is tried to be formed a normative order of gender by shaping women's responsibilities, roles in the family and their relations in the public life. Thus, motherhood is one of the contradictions of feminist approach. On the one hand, approaches that perceive motherhood as a means of oppression for women, and on the other hand, the approaches affirming of motherhood by highlighting differences specific to woman, discuss the issue from two different perspectives within the feminist thought. With including of bio-political discourse pointing to the body's governmentality to these discussions, motherhood has become an important field of power.
