Description
In this thesis project, I examine representations of female youth 'delinquency' during the post-Second World War period in Ontario (1945--1960). By examining particular cultural forms and practices in the print media and the law, my aims are two-fold: First, following the work of Sangster (2002), I seek to expose how representations of female youth delinquency were part of an organized symbolic culture that mediated social relations between young women and the legal system, particularly the Ontario Training School for Girls in Galt (OTSG-Galt). Second, drawing substantially upon the work of Hannah Arendt, I raise ethical questions about the ways in which female subjects are constituted through various representational forms, as well as highlight the need for a different kind of account of the female subject; one which leads to a critical consciousness of the law as well as to new forms of self/other relations.
