In my research, I would like to focus on the Kurdish political movement and its emphasis on the women's movement and on gender-based equality in order to bring about societal (political, economic, social) changes (especially in Bakur and Rojava), contrasting it with the pursuit of capitalist and nation-state structures by Kurdish elites (Basur). This research is highly relevant and seeks to interrogate the dominant discourse of the experiences of the the brave Kurdish women fighting at the frontlines against the Islamic State (Daesh) in the Kurdish regions of Rojava and Basur. While portrayed as the ideal antithesis to Daesh, these women's experiences and lives are often romanticised and reduced to their fighting capabilities. This project would instead ethnographically examine their everyday experiences within the wider social and political context of the movement. This less sensationalised larger project is articulated by the declaration of Rojava as a confederate democracy, inspired by Abdullah Öcalan's (2015) and Murray Bookchin's (2016) ideas. Current analyses often overlook the holistic context that encompasses the history, geography, struggles, and (arguably) contradictions that are found in Kurdistan. My research intends to fill this gap, and Kurdistan offers an ethnographically and theoretically rich space to work with people who imagine and live, amongst others, in opposition to dominant political and economic systems.

在我的研究中，我想把重点放在库尔德政治运动及其对妇女运动和基于性别的平等的强调上，以实现社会（政治、经济、社会）变革（特别是在巴库尔和罗贾瓦），并将其与库尔德精英（Basur）对资本主义和民族国家结构的追求进行对比。这项研究是高度相关的，并试图质疑勇敢的库尔德妇女在罗贾瓦和巴苏尔库尔德地区对抗伊斯兰国（Daesh）前线的经历的主导话语。这些女性的经历和生活往往被浪漫化，并被贬低为她们的战斗能力。相反，这个项目将在更广泛的社会和政治背景下，从民族志的角度审视他们的日常经历。受Abdullah Öcalan（2015）和Murray Bookchin（2016）的启发，罗贾瓦宣布为邦联民主国家，这是一个不那么耸人听闻的大型项目。当前的分析往往忽略了库尔德斯坦的整体背景，包括历史、地理、斗争和（可以论证的）矛盾。我的研究旨在填补这一空白，库尔德斯坦提供了一个民族志和理论上丰富的空间，与那些想象和生活的人一起工作，除其他外，反对占主导地位的政治和经济制度。
