چکیده

در شهرهای کم‌جمعیت، عرف نقش برجسته‌ای در امور زندگی ایفا می‌کند؛ زیرا همبستگی مکانیکی در این‌گونه مکان‌ها به‌وفور مشاهده می‌شود و هنجارها، ارزش‌ها و ارتباطات اجتماعی بین دو جنس را تحت تأثیر قرار می‌دهد. هدف پژوهش حاضر واکاوی سازوکارهای مشروعیت‌بخشی به قدرت جنسیتی از منظر زنان شهر ایوان در چارچوب خانواده است. این پژوهش براساس پارادایم تفسیری و رویکرد کیفی و با استفاده از مدل اشتراوس و کربن انجام شده است. میدان مطالعه شامل زنان شهر ایوان است. نمونه‌یابی به روش نمونه‌گیری هدفمند از نوع گلوله‌برفی انجام گرفت و نمونه‌گیری تا مرحلۀ اشباع نظری ادامه یافت. با 20 نفر مصاحبه به عمل آمد و از مصاحبۀ نیمه‌ساختاریافته برای گردآوری اطلاعات استفاده شد. فرمت داده‌ها در قالب متن بود و در تحلیل داده‌ها کدگذاری سه‌مرحله‌ای باز، محوری و گزینشی به‌کار گرفته شد. از عبارت‌های معنایی 233 مفهوم، 30 زیرمقوله و 13 مقولۀ اصلی به‌دست آمد. مقولۀ هسته «هم‌کناری گفتمان عرف و دین» نام‌گذاری شد. این مقوله به معنای همجواری دو نوع گفتمان عرف و دین است که وقتی در جامعه به‌عنوان مرجع تلقی می‌شوند می‌توانند مشروعیت‌بخشی قدرت جنسیتی را تحکیم و تقویت کنند. گرچه در همۀ جوامع این هم‌کناری به‌طور نسبی دیده می‌شود، با توجه به ایدئولوژیک‌شدن گفتمان دین در جامعۀ ایران (به‌مثابۀ ایدئولوژی سیاسی) این مشروعیت‌بخشی به قدرت جنسیتی دوچندان شده است.

چکیده [English]

In less densely populated cities, tradition significantly influences various aspects of life, as mechanical interactions are frequently observed in these environments. This dynamic impacts the norms, values, and social relationships between the two genders. The aim of this research is to analyze the mechanisms through which gender power is legitimized from the perspective of women residing in the townof Eyvan, within the framework of familial structures. This research is anchored in the interpretive paradigm and employs a qualitative approach, utilizing the grounded theory methodology. The research encompasses women residing in the town of Eyvan, employing a purposive snowball sampling method. This sampling process persisted until theoretical saturation was achieved, resulting in a total of 20 interviews conducted. A semi-structured interview methodology has been used to collect information, with the data presented in textual format. The analysis of the data has been conducted utilizing a three-stage coding process, comprising open, axial, and selective coding. From the semantic expressions, a total of 233 concepts, 30 subcategories, and 13 primary categories were obtained. The principal category was designated as “The coexistence of religious and customary discourse,” signifying the simultaneous presence of two forms of customary-religious discourses that, when regarded as societal references, have the potential to reinforce and legitimize gender power dynamics. Although this coexistence is observed across various societies, the ideological framing of religious discourse within Iranian society—as a political ideology—has significantly intensified the legitimization of gender power.
