Masculinity and friendship between male prisoners in KL Dachau, Mauthausen, and Sachsenhausen

项目摘要(请不超过4000个字符，包括空格)：我的研究着眼于达豪、莫托森和萨克森豪森集中营中男性囚犯之间的广泛友谊。我将从心理学、性别研究和情感史等领域的跨学科文献中获得灵感，分析男性囚犯之间的友谊在这些集中营中的囚犯社会中所起的作用。性别在我的研究中扮演着关键角色，因为我将强调男子气概在塑造这些男性友谊中的行为和情感方面的作用。在研究了这些友谊的性质和功能之后，我将继续评估这些关系在黑市和抵抗网络中所起的作用，以及囚犯等级制度和权力结构。最终，我的研究应该对集中营和其他拘留地点的历史学、极端情况下的性别行为以及友谊的历史都有价值。

Project Summary (Please do not exceed 4000 characters, including spaces): My research looks at friendships, broadly defined, between male prisoners in the Nazi concentration camps Dachau, Mauthausen, and Sachsenhausen. Taking inspiration from interdisciplinary literature from fields such as psychology, gender studies, and the history of emotions, I will analyse the role that friendships between male prisoners played in prisoner society within these camps. Gender plays a key role in my research as I will be highlighting the role of masculinity in shaping behaviours and sentiments within these male friendships. Having studied the nature and functions of these friendships I shall then go on to assess the role these relationships played within black market and resistance networks, and prisoner hierarchies and power structures.Ultimately my research should be of value to the historiography of concentration camps and other sites of detention, gendered behaviour in extreme situations, and the history of friendship.
