Master Thesis The Presentation of Women in Blues and Arabesk Song Lyrics(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2008) Oral, Gülrenk; Endres, Clifford W.The Presentation of Women in Blues and Arabesk Song Lyrics mainly tries to bring light to the images of woman in the so called mens music. This thesis explores the representation of women in both blues and arabesk music lyrics to show how both music forms portray the female character and the reasons why she is presented in that way. The overall type and the most compelling images that emerge from both blues and arabesk lyrics are negative: the unfaithful women the deserting women and the gold-digger women. However the larger implication of this thesis is the reason why men depict her as evil: it is the wish to control her. -- Abstrac'tan.
