Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper implements a feminist new material lens to illuminate how the spaces and objects of play are actively involved in the enactment and normalisation of gender violence in kindergarten. Findings from data collected in two Canadian kindergartens show how the familiar and mundane spatial-material arrangements of play, namely the use of blocks, implicitly propagated hierarchal gender divisions in children’s play and facilitated explicit acts of material violence by boys against girls. Drawing on Blaise’s (Blaise, M. 2005. Playing it Straight: Uncovering Gender Discourses in the Early Childhood Classroom. New York: Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, Blaise, M. 2014. “Interfering with Gendered Development: A Timely Intervention.” International Journal of Early Childhood 46: 317–326.) concept of post-developmentalism, the author concludes with a discussion on the possibilities of feminist new material frameworks in early learning and for re-thinking current play-based practices.

期刊介绍： Gender and Education grew out of feminist politics and a social justice agenda and is committed to developing multi-disciplinary and critical discussions of gender and education. The journal is particularly interested in the place of gender in relation to other key differences and seeks to further feminist knowledge, philosophies, theory, action and debate. The Editors are actively committed to making the journal an interactive platform that includes global perspectives on education, gender and culture. Submissions to the journal should examine and theorize the interrelated experiences of gendered subjects including women, girls, men, boys, and gender-diverse individuals. Papers should consider how gender shapes and is shaped by other social, cultural, discursive, affective and material dimensions of difference. Gender and Education expects articles to engage in feminist debate, to draw upon a range of theoretical frameworks and to go beyond simple descriptions. Education is interpreted in a broad sense to cover both formal and informal aspects, including pre-school, primary, and secondary education; families and youth cultures inside and outside schools; adult, community, further and higher education; vocational education and training; media education; and parental education.
