ABSTRACT Images of the ‘ideal’ Irish girl and woman were mobilized through a range of dominant discourses in Ireland from 1831 to 1931: biological, educational, religious and political. Female education was firmly located within the domestic sphere. This paper critically explores the interwoven gender discourses in education that were fashioned within the ideological, religious and political context of the period and then moves on to analyze gender subjectivities and gender agency in performativity. Methodologically, it draws on uncharted archival sources such as national school books, teacher manuals, medical and religious discourse and published journal articles.

女孩与现代爱尔兰的形成

摘要 1831 年至 1931 年期间，爱尔兰通过一系列主流话语动员了“理想”爱尔兰女孩和妇女的形象：生物学、教育、宗教和政治。女性教育牢牢地定位于家庭领域。本文批判性地探讨了在那个时期的意识形态、宗教和政治背景下形成的教育中相互交织的性别话语，然后进一步分析了性别主体性和施展性中的性别能动性。在方法上，它利用了未知的档案资源，如国家教科书、教师手册、医学和宗教话语以及已发表的期刊文章。
