Att klä ut sig eller att bli utklädd : En motivstudie av kvinnor/flickor i manskläder i fiktion respektive reportage / Dressing up or being dressed upZamola, Taina January 2023 (has links)
This study compares how girls that are disguised as boys are portrayed in both fiction and reality. The analysis explores Maria Gripe's Shadow-tetralogy set in 1911-1914 and Jenny Nordberg's reportage book The Underground Girls of Kabul between 2011-2014. The study applies a feminist and queer theoretical perspective. Drawing on Judith Butler's concept of performativity, the analysis explores how gender is not a biological or natural characteristic but rather a social construction that is maintained through repeated actions and behaviors. Literature has used the motif of disguise to alienate gender, highlight structural imbalances and expose gender stereotypes. It has been a way to present strong, complex and active girl characters. In recent years, the genre of fantasy in particular has a similar function. However, in today's Afghanistan, the bacha posh is a survival strategy that gives unprivileged women an opportunity to gain access to education and freedom for a limited time. The results of the analysis indicate how in both fiction and reality, disguising as a boy is an opportunity for girls to live a freer life for a time, albeit for a limited period of time.
