Abstract

This paper is based on an ethnographic multi-method study, involving interviews, focus groups, diaries and observation. It explores some of the tales of thirteen-year-old female students who told about their experiences of growing up and making the transition from primary to secondary school. The paper argues that their experiences of growing up and changing schools were not a simple, linear process, but involved feelings of intense pleasure and tremendous pain. Building on a growing body of literature concerned with the experience of growing-up, this paper seeks to highlight the multiple ways in which these female students negotiated this phase of change and constructed identity. The paper suggests that school context fosters a sense of maturity upon which thirteen-year-old female students can build their various identities, individually and collectively as a peer group.
13岁女孩:学校转型和女性身份的故事
本文采用访谈法、焦点小组法、日记法、观察法等多方法对民族志进行研究。它探讨了一些13岁的女学生的故事,她们讲述了自己的成长经历和从小学到中学的过渡。论文认为,他们的成长和转学经历不是一个简单的线性过程,而是包含了强烈的快乐和巨大的痛苦。基于越来越多的关于成长经历的文献,本文试图突出这些女学生在这一变化阶段谈判和构建身份的多种方式。本文认为,学校环境培养了一种成熟感,在这种成熟感的基础上,13岁的女学生可以建立自己的各种身份,无论是个人还是集体,作为一个同伴群体。
