The gendered experience of internment: Jewish and Gypsy women in French camps, 1940-1946

这篇论文将研究犹太人和吉普赛人妇女在占领期间在法国拘留营的经历。利用性别理论来调查大屠杀和吉普赛人遭受迫害的第一手经验，它将把被占领的法国研究中尚未充分探索的两个领域结合在一起。“吉普赛人”一词在这里被用作法语“Tsigane”一词的最接近的翻译，指的是罗姆人和辛提人。通过分析被拘留妇女的信件、个人作品和证词，我将阐明经常被忽视的犹太和吉普赛妇女的叙述，并试图回答以下问题：犹太和吉普赛妇女的性别在哪些方面构成了她们被拘留的经历？法国人的身份、国籍和“他者性”是如何影响他们的经历的？可用于研究她们的资料来源的差异如何影响我们对这些女性历史的理解？

This thesis will examine the experience of Jewish and Gypsy women in French internment camps during the Occupation.Using gender theory to investigate the Holocaust, and the first-hand experiences of persecution of the Gypsy people, itwill bring together two areas that remain underexplored in the study of Occupied France. The term "Gypsy" is employedhere as the closest translation of the French term "Tsigane" designating Roma and Sinti populations. Through analysingthe correspondence, personal writings and testimonies of interned women, I will illuminate the often-overlookednarratives of Jewish and Gypsy women, and seek to answer the following questions: In what ways did Jewish and Gypsywomen's gender underlie their experience of internment? How did notions of French identity, nationality and "otherness"impact their experiences? How do discrepancies in the sources available to study them shape our understanding of thehistory of these women?
