Abstract
The chapter focuses on a speech by the Turkish President Erdoğan, a letter by the Kurdish leader Abdullah Öcalan, a wedding, and a funeral to highlight the different understandings of peace that the Turkish state and the Kurdish Movement promote and how women figure into these understandings. It argues that for the Turkish state the future that is envisioned for Kurdish women is either death or a complete alliance with patriarchy through marriage. Hence, the figure of the public mother, woman politician, and woman guerilla must be transformed into corpses and corpse images.
