This presentation explores the forms of intimate autonomy in different configurations of cohabitation. In Turkey, family households have been constructed socio-historically as places where intimacy can take place exclusively in bedroom and between married heterosexual couples/parents. Depending on gender and class, children may have their own private spaces but they don’t usually have intimate spaces. This applies also to student dormitories where any display of intimacy is strictly prohibited. This presentation seeks to illustrate how the moral construction of these places is circumvented by the young women in the search of intimate autonomy who live with their families or in these student dormitories. Contrarily, the women who live in flats shared with friends or partners enjoy a greater intimate freedom, which is however not boundless. The visits made by the family to the flat share or the “neighborhood pressure” which stigmatize people who are deemed to be amoral can contribute to the resacralization of the household. It is thus relevant to compare the tactics deployed by young women who navigate between their desires and the sacralized values of authorities.
