Könsförvirring : En narrativ studie av normbrytande genus i barndomen

Sammanfattning: This essay deals with non-normative gender expressions during childhood. I’m using narrative theory and methods to analyze autobiographical narratives. My questions are: What strategies does the non-normative person use to deal with his otherness? Using the methodological analysis tool ”turning point”, where are the turning points in the narratives? Are their any common turning points in the various narratives? Where is the responsibility placed in the narratives for that someone does not fit in by the adults/ staff at the school/kindergarten- on the non-normative person or at the surroundings? The experiences are interpreted through theories and concepts from queer theory and gender theory. The study reflects the importance of an anti-oppressive pedagogy in school.
