Med flicktionen som vägvisare. Teatrala skolflickor i en postfeministisk era

Abstract

This article is based on a study of the production of a play called “All about ADHD and A+ Children of
Noisy Village” (Ännu mer om alla vi ADHD- och MVG-barn i Bullerbyn) staged at one of Sweden’s most
prominent playhouses for children’s and youth theatre: Ung scen/öst. Within the familiar setting of the
classroom, the play takes on the challenging task of questioning and scrutinizing the complex and tangled situation where ideology is enacted in the contemporary Swedish school system. By using a theoretical framework primarily based in feminist cultural and political analysis, and more precisely the
concept of post-feminism, this article focus on the subject positions offered to girls within the realm of
a theatre play for youth.
