Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper looks at the relationship between the discourses of racism and sexism and the configuration of school space in an Australian high school. I argue that school space is proliferative of racialised and sexualised divisions. Divisions can be identified between groups of 'Asian' girls, between 'Asian' girls and 'Asian' boys, and between 'Asian' students and 'non-Asian' students. While these divisions are legislated by discourses of racism and sexism, this paper focuses attention on 'Asian' girls response to this situation. I argue that against the experience of social marginality 'Asian' girls tactically reproduce differences. By highlighting the changing dynamics of spatial-social divisions in school, I show how 'Asian' girls contest and rework racialising/sexualising discourses to recompose 'Asian'/femininity.

一面越南国旗和一碗澳大利亚花:重新定义种族主义和性别歧视

摘要:本文研究了澳大利亚一所高中的种族主义和性别主义话语与学校空间配置的关系。我认为，学校空间充斥着种族化和性别化的分裂。“亚洲”女孩、“亚洲”女孩和“亚洲”男孩，以及“亚洲”学生和“非亚洲”学生之间，都存在着分歧。虽然这些分歧是由种族主义和性别歧视的话语立法的，但本文关注的是“亚洲”女孩对这种情况的反应。我认为，与社会边缘的经历相反，“亚洲”女孩策略性地复制差异。通过强调学校中空间社会划分的变化动态，我展示了“亚洲”女孩如何竞争和重新设计种族化/性别化的话语，以重新构建“亚洲”/女性气质。
