    A common value among religions in Hatay: Ilyahu-han Nebi, Mar George (Corcus) and Khidr (El-Khidr)
    (Cyprus International University, 2019) Eraslan, Aylin
    This study focuses on the reflection of the Khidr belief, a shared value among religions, on three monotheistic religions. Our aim is to understand the main aspects of the "Khidr belief" which is a common and rooted belief in Antakya where the societies of the three monotheistic religions live and to identify the Khidr traditions which are established in relation with the Khidr belief. The field study was conducted on December 2016/January 2017 in Antakya and Samandag Khidr belief has a deep-rooted history in Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities. According to some beliefs Khidr is a holy spirit and to others a prophet. But the common point of Khidr/Elijah or Mar Corcus in all beliefs is the belief that Khidr helps people in different ways (young, old etc.). Khidr belief is an important part of life which calms people down during crisis, impresses common sense upon people for the difficulties faced in the world that they live in, reinforces the feeling of being thankful etc. and ensures that people feel safe in this chaotic and insecure world. The calls "Ya İlyahu hannebi", "Ya Mar Corcus", "Ya Khidr", "Ya Khidr-il Ahdar" which rise up to the sky are prayers for the Khidr to mediate between the God and human beings and to put things in order in state of emergency. © 2019 Cyprus International University.

    Partiarchal discourses, poligamous lives: The Syrians living in Antakya
    (İNTAÇ EĞİTİM DANIŞMANLIK ORGANİZASYON ARAŞTIRMA İNŞAAT SANAYİ VE TİCARET LİMİTED ŞİRKETİ, 2019) Eraslan, Aylin
    The aim of this article is to understand and analyze the behaviors and attitudes of Syrian women under temporary protection of Turkey towards polygyny. Recent studies in Turkish cities on south-eastern border present the discomfort felt by the local women about Syrians. Local women stated that Syrian women affected their spouses and in relation with this, there was an increase in divorces and polygyny. In order to analyze the situation in these communities, in-depth interviews were held with 20 Syrian women in Antakya and Antakya Red Crescent Center between December 2018 and February 2019. Given that each society has developed different ways of adapting to life within the framework of its unique socio-cultural and economic conditions, women who experience everyday life differently are likely to develop different strategies to cope with the challenges they face.Even though personal care and giving importance to looking beautiful is expressed as cultural identity by Syrian women when analyzed in detail this tendency signalizes an area that is created constantly through patriarchal discourses. The transmitter, controller, judge of this area, which is created constantly through a masculine point of view, is women. In conclusion Syrian women do not tolerate polygyny and develop strategies to cope with this problem. Cultural codes stated by women in the study, such as giving effort to look well-groomed and beautiful under any circumstances, spoiling the husband determine the position of women in society and also support patriarchy. Because against a threat of a “cowife” prioritize all the wishes of husbands and continuously work to ‘satisfy’ males under any circumstances.
