Abstract :Women’s seclusion and hegemonic oppression on the subjugation of women can alternatively be well understood in contrastive analysis of how masculinities and femininities come in a clash in public spheres and urban spaces. In this regard, this text will provide a sequence of ethnographic analyses on urban events and celebrations, public spaces and gendered interactions through non-verbal marks so that what’s deemed as socially appropriate or improper are vividly presented. The main objective of this compact ethnographic analysis is that the subordinate femininities must be unearthed so that there could be a hope for a social cessation of internalization of both the seclusion and subjugation of female members of the subject society. The case instances are drawn from such a society, Turkey, which has a fluctuant politics of gender and where the society is stigmatized with the ongoing repercussions of post-colonial identity collision.
