Making Woman’s Labour Visible Through Documantary: We are not Cinderella!

Abstract

This article aims to highlight the role of documentaries on the visibility of women’s labour. It has thus been shown that documentaries of Turkish cinema after the 2000s have a positive influence on the visibility of women’s labour. Therefore, it examined the causes and reasons of the invisibility of women’s labour based on the concept of gender and patriarchy. In this context, we argue that documentaries can be a tool that helps increase the visibility of women’s work. We have chosen the documentary to study for this question because it allows us to create a consciousness through its relation to reality and through its responsibility to society. Finally, in order to pursue the aim of this article, we conduct a discourse analysis of the documentary Külkedisi Değiliz! (Çelebi, 2014). We stress consequently that this film made a contribution to the visibility of women’s work through its language.
