Özet
In the context of a highly competitive and knowledge-intensive academic life, the role of the “performativity” of the academics in their success has become an increasingly important issue. Pierre Bourdieu, in his 1988 dated work Homo Academicus seeks sui generis characteristics of academics in 1950’s French intellectual arena. In that book, he proposes the notion of “academic habitus”, which emphasizes the scholar’s family origin, gender, class and religion possesses a reflexive impact on his/her intellectual research and everyday life. On the other hand, as feminist and queer theorist Judith Butler brings the very notion of “performativity” forward, which she believes is internalizing the “ritualized” repetition of cultural acts, empiercing outer space of the body and personality. This paper is an attempt to find out a common ground of Bourdieu’s concept of “habitus” and Judith Butler’s “performativity”. We aim to achieve this attempt through a brief investigation on four academic texts on the notion of female academics in Turkey in order to understand the floating role of women in scientific community with a special interest in the universities in Turkey.
