What positioning spaces does the gender regime of school open and close, and how do students deal with this? Monika Jäckle, Sandra Eck, Meta Schnell, and Kyra Schneider explore these questions and demonstrate how Judith Butler's theoretical elaborations on subjectivation and recognition can be translated into concrete qualitative research practices. The research findings illuminate which gender figures are conceivable for the students and how these are processed, what positioning the respondents take regarding these gender figures, and what subjective significances school assumes for girls and boys.
