    Anthropologies of men, masculinities, and reproduction
    (Wiley, 2023-09-21) Wentzell, Emily; Erol, Maral; Açıksöz, Salih Can
    In this chapter, the authors give an overview of key findings from the English language research on men, masculinities and reproduction in sociocultural anthropology and allied fields. This research spans the globe and the range of men's reproduction-related experience. Yet, it coheres around a set of three key theoretical approaches that are also fundamental to contemporary anthropological thinking more broadly. The authors review the ways that researchers have used these shared theoretical approaches to elucidate certain topics within the arena of men and reproduction: men's gendered experiences as fathers and parents (with a subsection that focuses on the burgeoning literature on gay and trans experiences); of infertility and artificial reproduction technologies (including intersections with the literature on disability); with birth control (specifically vasectomy, condoms, and abortion); and of male sexual/reproductive aging.

    Unpacking the discursive construction of heirloom seeds: discourses, contests, connections
    (Bursa Uludağ University, 2024-08-31) Pandır, Müzeyyen; Erol, Maral
    The 2006 Turkish Seed Law prohibited the selling of uncertified heirloom seeds, triggering heated debates on and around seeds. This paper examines the construction of discourses on heirloom seeds in Türkiye, focusing on the arguments of the key social actors in the field with a view to understand how knowledge production is taking place on seed. Conducting interviews with key state and non-state actors and analyzing their published documents related to heirloom seed through discourse-historical approach, we examined the argumentative perspectives shaping the discourse on seed. The results revealed a discursive dichotomy constructed between "heirloom seed" and "certified hybrid seeds." In particular, built on commercial and food security concerns, the state discourse frames heirloom seeds as low-yield and unable to feed the nation in comparison to certified hybrid seeds, whereas non-state discourse using the perspectives of agrobiodiversity and farmers’ sovereignty construct heirloom seeds with superior features, qualifying them as compatible with biodiversity and the current global and regional economic, environmental and climate problems. The study concludes that different perspectives and interests produced contradictory knowledge about seed (hence food) and caused different realities to exist simultaneously within this knowledge.
