Perspectives on Fatherhood and Manhood in New Media: A Narration Analysis of Polish, Turkish and British ‘Daddy Blogs’

Öz:
Blogs can be analysed as a tool for information, identity, and building and maintaining relationships. This study examines the phenomenon of “daddy blogs” and aims to identify the construction of masculinity and fatherhood in these blogs. The paper presents results of the qualitative research on the most popular parental blogs, written by men from Poland, United Kingdom, and Turkey (three from each country). Study sample contains 90 blog posts, which have been analysed qualitatively using MAXQDA Software.As the result of the study, three common patterns of constructing/expressing manhood and fatherhood have been found. Firstly, manhood and fatherhood are presented in the wider, social context. In the blog posts, the role of a father in society, as well as gender norms are negotiated. Secondly, fatherhood is presented in the relations to children and duties regarding bringing them up, with visible differences in describing father – daughter and father – son relations. The authors often write about health, children’s development, psychology, bullying and cyber-bullying, which can be understood as motivation to share information rather than just express themselves. Lastly, manhood and fatherhood are presented from the perspective of an individual, which is mostly expressed in texts about self-development, happiness and wellbeing. The most common motives in these categories were: the role of a family and relationships in life, life-work balance, time management, and spending quality time with family. These three perspectives complement each other, creating a complex construction of a man and a father, balancing between traditional and modern roles.

Perspectives sur la paternité et la virilité: analyse narrative des «blogs paternels» Polonais, Turcs et Britanniques

Öz:
Les blogs peuvent être analysés comme un outil de création et de maintien de relations d’information et d’identité. Cette étude examine le phénomène des «blogs des pères» et vise à identifier la construction de la masculinité et de la pa-ternité présentées sur ces blogs. L’article présente les résultats des recherches qualitatives sur les blogs parentaux les plus populaires, rédigés par des hommes de Pologne, du Royaume-Uni et de la Turquie (trois de chaque pays). L’échan-tillon de l’étude contient 90 articles de blog analysés qualitativement à l’aide du logiciel MAXQDA. Trois modèles communs de construction et d’expression de la virilité et de la paternité ont été trouvés. Premièrement, la virilité et la paternité sont présentées dans un contexte social plus large. Dans les articles de blog, le rôle d’un père dans la société, ainsi que les normes de genre, sont négociés. Deuxièmement, la construction de la paternité est basée sur l’accomplissement de ses devoirs envers ses enfants, avec des différences visibles dans la descrip-tion des relations père-fille et père-fils. Les auteurs écrivent souvent à propos de la santé, du développement des enfants, de la psychologie, de l’intimidation et du cyber intimidation, ce qui peut être compris comme une motivation pour partager des informations plutôt que de simplement s’exprimer. Enfin, la virilité et la paternité sont présentées du point de vue de l’individu qui est principale-ment exprimé dans des textes sur le développement personnel, le bonheur et le bien-être. Les motifs les plus fréquents dans ces catégories étaient les suivants: rôle de la famille et des relations dans la vie, équilibre de la vie personnelle et de la vie professionnelle, gestion du temps et passer du temps de qualité en fa-mille. Ces trois perspectives se complètent en équilibrant les rôles traditionnels et modernes, ainsi créent la construction complexe d’un homme et d’un père.

Babalık ve Erkeklik Perspektifleri: Polonyalı, Türk ve İngiliz ‘Baba Bloglarındaki Anlatıların Analizi

Öz:
Bloglar bilgi, kimlik, ilişki kurma ve sürdürme için bir araç olarak analiz edile-bilir. Bu çalışma “babalık blogları” olgusunu incelemekte ve bu bloglarda erkeklik ve babalık yapısını tanımlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Makale, Polonya, İngiltere ve Türkiye’den (her ülkeden üç olmak üzere) erkekler tarafından yazılan en popüler ebeveyn blogları hakkındaki nitel araştırmaların sonuçlarını sunmaktadır. Çalışma örneği, MAXQDA Yazılımı kullanılarak niteliksel olarak analiz edilen 90 blog yazısı içermektedir. Çalışmanın sonucunda erkeklik ve babalığın inşasında ve bunu if-ade etme biçiminde üç ortak model bulunmuştur. İlk olarak, erkeklik ve babalık oldukça geniş bir çerçevede ve sosyal bağlamda sunulmaktadır. Bloglarda, bir babanın toplumdaki rolü ve cinsiyet normları müzakere edilmektedir. İkincisi babalık inşası çocuklara yönelik görevleri yerine getirmek üzerine yapılmakta ve ayrıca baba-kız ile baba-oğul ilişkilerini betimlemede gözle görülür farklılıklar ile sunulmaktadır. Yazarlar genellikle sağlık, çocuk gelişimi, psikoloji, zorbalık ve si-ber zorbalık hakkında yazmaktadırlar. Bu durum kendini ifade etmekten ziyade bilgi paylaşma motivasyonu olarak ele alınabilir. Son olarak, erkeklik ve babalık kavramı, kendini geliştirme, mutluluk ve refah ile ilgili metinlerde bireysel pers-pektiften sunulmaktadır. Bu kategorilerdeki en yaygın motifler şunlardı: ailenin rolü ve hayattaki ilişkiler, yaşam-iş dengesi, zaman yönetimi ve aile ile kaliteli zaman geçirme. Bu üç perspektif geleneksel ve modern roller arasında denge kurarak birbirini tamamlamakta, erkekliğin ve babalığın karmaşık inşasını oluştur-maktadır.
