Abstract

Neoliberalism is a concept is used to explain the changes in capitalism such as saving crisis and profitability in the early 1970s. While referring to the difference between government and governance, it also fortifies a state's influence on administrative processes by minimizing it. Namely, neoliberalism problematizes the state concept and delimits it by calling individual choices. On the other hand, it includes administrative forms which support normalizations of both institutions and individuals according to market. In this study, 600 K tweets sent under #sendeanlat (tellyourstory) hashtag in which women tell their personal violence experiences will be analyzed to inspect security, violence and woman subject from the point view of neoliberalism, and their positioning to each other. As a result, the question what kind of solutions could be producible against violence mechanisms which are both reason and result of neoliberal political economy. The method of this study includes both quantitative and qualitative techniques. For qualitative analysis 1200 ranked tweet and for quantitative analysis, 600K tweets are inspected. Tweets are archived by using R Statistical Software via Twitter Rest API and quantitative techniques are applied by using the same software environment.
