The coal mining can be define as the most visible form of masculinity. Both
of them are based on muscle strength and defined masculine and seerı a "marı's
job" in Turkey; behavioral codes have been accompanied with ' capitalist
production processes. At the same time the coal miners' experience of class and
politics has shaped by constructions of sexuality. This point is the critique as
being aman with muscle strenght, existing as paterfamilias and enduring the life
as a part of capitalist production processes by conservative man image. This
study locates the construction of working-class masculinity of mine workers in
Soma and the tensions and antagonisms produced by the transformation of the
tradition into a serni-skilled industrial working class. Miners' masculinized class
identity is important as well as capitalist instrumentalisatiorı and it has some
obstacles to struggle against bruta! working conditions
