Falls Women and Conflict: the Effects of the Northern Irish Conflict (1969-1998) and Peace-Process on Women's Social Identity in a Catholic-Nationalist Belfast Neighborhood.
This research focuses on the relationship between identity-formation and conflict, as seen from a gender perspective. Its aim is to investigate the effects of the conflict in Northern Ireland on the construction of women's collective identity in the Falls, a Catholic-nationalist working-class area in West Belfast (by the term "conflict" I refer here to the period of political and ethnic conflict also known as the Troubles, dating from 1969 to 1998). The project focuses both on women who became involved in armed struggle and on women who did not participate actively in the conflict. My claim is that the construction of gender identities can be analyzed using anthropological models of ethnicity. My approach to the object of investigation is therefore mainly anthropological.
