The subversive femininity of the suburb : A narrative analysis of the theater performance Vem som hon (English)
Abstract [en]

This paper examines how femininity is negotiated in the play "Vem som hon" from an intersectional perspective based on five female characters. The narrative space is an unspoken suburb in Stockholm. The play deals with themes such as sisterhood, violence, poverty, racism and segregation. Through a narrative analysis of the script and the recording of the play, it examines how femininity is made in the place linked to race and class. The essay aims to answer how the characters negotiate femininity in the play and what boundaries they relate to and what role the place has in their creation of femininity. The essay wants to highlight the girls' voices and show a complex picture of the suburb as a place where people's identities are changing and multifaceted. The conclusion shows that the characters in different ways move across the boundaries of what is considered feminine and masculine and that they construct themselves through a sense of belonging to each other and the suburb as a place. Through ideals of chastity and religion, the characters try to gain respectability while their lives are characterized by violence and a rejection of normative feminine ideals.
