摘要

对于爱尔兰抹大拉洗衣店的幸存者来说，食物是他们在机构中所经历的惩罚和无能为力的感官体现。作为爱尔兰自由邦(Irish Free State)遏制体系的一部分，洗衣店与国家之间的关系是独一无二的:天主教管理的机构在国家官僚机构之外运作，但作为一个羽翼未丰的国家，它们在巩固主权的努力中发挥了核心作用。对于历史学家来说，感应体是理解抹大拉制度及其在二十世纪爱尔兰历史中的地位的少数途径之一。这篇文章将食物的记忆作为幸存者主体性的切入点，这样做揭示了制度权力对具体化经验的情感印记。

‘The Whole Thing was Numbingly Bland and it was Deliberately So’: Food and Power in Ireland's Magdalene Laundries, 1922–1996

For survivors of Ireland's Magdalene Laundries, food is a sensory embodiment of the punishment and powerlessness they experienced while contained within the institutions. As part of the Irish Free State's architecture of containment, the relationship between the Laundries and the state is unique: the Catholic-run institutions operated outside of state bureaucracy, yet they were central to its attempts to consolidate sovereignty as a fledgling nation. For historians, the sensing body is one of the few avenues to understanding the Magdalene institutions and their place in twentieth-century Irish history. This article uses memories of food as a point of access to the subjectivities of survivors, and in doing so reveals the affective imprint of institutional power on embodied experience.

Spanning epochs and continents, Gender & History examines changing conceptions of gender, and maps the dialogue between femininities, masculinities and their historical contexts. The journal publishes rigorous and readable articles both on particular episodes in gender history and on broader methodological questions which have ramifications for the discipline as a whole.
