Abstract/Notes: Dès les années 1960, et de manière accentuée depuis 1990, les musulmans de Suisse tendent à s’organiser au sein du paysage associatif local. Leurs pratiques mettent en lumière la manière dont les normes et prescriptions religieuses transmises dans le cadre d’écoles et d’associations féminines musulmanes actives dans le canton de Genève conduisent les actrices à émerger sur la scène publique, et à inventer des trajectoires alternatives de modernité et d’engagement citoyen. Orientant leurs actions tantôt vers une transformation de soi, tantôt vers une transformation du monde, les actrices allient le genre et le religieux au sein d’un système d’intervention et de subjectivation spécifique. En cultivant un lien de « sororité vertueuse » au sein de leur groupe et en adoptant les principes de la pédagogie Montessori, ces jeunes femmes créent une discordance avec, d’une part, les valeurs séculières libérales et avec, d’autre part, la normativité musulmane. [Starting in the 1960s, Muslims in Switzerland have tended to organize themselves in the local community landscape. Their practices shed light on the way in which religious norms and prescriptions are transmitted in the context of schools and Muslim women's associations active in the Canton of Geneva. These practices encourage actresses to emerge on the public stage and propose alternative trajectories of modernity and citizen engagement. Oriented sometimes to a transformation of the self, sometimes to a status of world changer, actresses combine gender and religion in a system of intervention and specific subjectivation. By cultivating a "virtuous sorority" bond within their group and embracing the principles of Montessori pedagogy, these young women create a mismatch with both secular liberal values that "the ability to act" would require breaking with belief and with Muslim normativity based on the learning of texts. / Desde los años ’60, y de manera acentuada desde 1990, los musulmanes de Suiza tienden a organizarse en el paisaje asociativo local. Sus prácticas destacan la manera en que las normas y prescripciones religiosas transmitidas en el marco de escuelas y de asociaciones femeninas musulmanas activas en el cantón de Ginebra conducen a las actrices a emerger a la escena pública, y a inventar trayectorias alternativas de modernidad y de compromiso ciudadano. Orientándose sea hacia la transformación de sí, sea hacia la transformación del mundo, las actrices asocian el género y lo religioso en un sistema de intervención y de subjetivación específica. Cultivando un lazo de “sororidad virtuosa” en su grupo y adoptando principios de la pedagogía Montesori, estas jóvenes mujeres crean discordancias a la vez con los valores seculares liberales según los cuales la “capacidad de actuar” necesitaría la ruptura con la creencia y con la normatividad musulmana fundada en el aprendizaje de los textos.]

Abstract/Notes: A. Šiame straipsnyje Kauno seserys benediktinės pristatomos kaip visuomenės ugdytojos. Jų ugdomoji veikla suklestėjo 1918–1940 m. Lietuvoje. Kauno visuomenė vertino seserų benediktinių ugdomąją veiklą, kurioje buvo taikoma tuo metu nauja ir moderni M. Montessori pedagogikos sistema. Atliekant tyrimą, naudotasi dar niekur nepublikuotais šaltiniais, padėjusiais atskleisti seserų benediktinių ugdomąją veiklą ne tik Kaune, bet ir įvairiose Lietuvos vietovėse: Joniškyje, Pasvalyje, Čiobiškyje, Prienuose, Ariogaloje, Čekiškėje, Šiluvoje, Vilniuje ir Pernavoje. Ši veikla buvo susijusi su vienuolyno plėtra, naujų skyrių steigimu. Seserys ne tik prisidėjo prie visuomenės ugdymo nuoširdžia apaštališkąja veikla, taip atsiliepdamos į to laiko reikmes, bet ir atrado dirbdamos ugdomąjį darbą naujas benediktiniškojo gyvenimo formas. [This paper presents the Sisters Benedictines of Kaunas as educators of the society, whose educational activities flourished from 1918 to 1940 in Lithuania. Kaunas society appreciated the educational activities of the Benedictine Sisters, which used the new and modern pedagogical system of M. Montessori at that time. During the research, unpublished sources were used, which helped to compile and present, in order to achieve the set aim, educational activities in Kaunas and, based on the development of the monastery, the establishment of new departments, to highlight educational activities in various areas of Lithuania. The Benedictine Sisters were sent everywhere as educators and educators who applied the most upto-date and modern Montessori pedagogical system of the time. Having the necessary preparation, this pedagogical system was applied by the Benedictine Sisters working with children not only in Kaunas as the first nun educators, to whom the first state primary school was opened at the request of the monastery society, but also in the kindergartens established by them in Joniskis, Pasvalys, Zasliai, as well as in the transferred to lead children’s shelter in Ciobiškis, and a kindergarten in Prienai. Most of the sisters worked in different kindergartens: educators and leaders, there were sr. Gabriele Spokaite and sr. Apolonija Salčiute. Non-formal education was provided in other established sections of the monastery. The Sisters prepared children for the First Confession and Communion in Ariogala and the Cekiškes. The Benedictine Sisters cared of the church and took care of the old people in Siluva. The Sisters engaged in self-education or educated others in Vilnius. And there is no knowledge about any educational activity in Pernava, but during the ten years of the opening of this monastery branch, one or another educational activity had to be carried out.]
