The narrative formation of identity revisited
This article revisits one of the more contentious debates in current studies of narrative: the claim that identities are, in some sense, fabricated by and in narratives, and the counter-claim that individuals have inherent capacities, such as a dynamic unconscious, that precede or are in excess of any identity-building work that narrative might do. The article approaches this debate via competing theories drawn from sociology and cultural studies…
Who cares about the psycho‐social? Masculinities, schooling and the unconscious
This brief article argues for the development of a stronger psycho‐social perspective in the broad field of the sociology of education and, in particular, in studies of masculinities and schooling. The article suggests that such studies have much to gain from an understanding of unconscious fantasy and the mutually constitutive nature of the unconscious and the social. By the same token, it also argues that a psycho‐social perspective has much to…
Private Girls and Public Worlds
This article draws upon data gathered from a research project entitled 'Children's Relationship Cultures in Years 5 and 6'. The project aims to explore the ways in which primary school age children understand emotional, caring and family relationships. This paper will focus upon the role of friendship in the cultures of girls, aged 9-10, in a primary school classroom. An ethnographic approach is adopted to illustrate the variety of interactions i…
Boys Bonding
This article aims to explore some of the ways in which the cultural meanings and practices of gender, sexuality and relationships intersect with and are reworked in the same-sex friendships of children aged nine to eleven. Using material from an ethnographic study, it focuses on two boys, Ben and Karl, who identified themselves as best friends. The article argues that, while the boys clearly knew, positioned themselves in and deployed heterosexua…
The Discipline of Love
This article draws on a small-scale qualitative study to explore the relationship between some of the more implicit disciplinary dimensions of schooling and a group of boys' investments in heterosexual romance. It argues that romance provided the boys with a cultural repertoire-that is, a narrative resource or set of discursive practices-through which they negotiated and made imaginative sense of the 'little cultural world' of their college. In p…
Boys and Girls Come Out to Play
This article is based on the ethnographic study of children's play at break time in two contrasting primary schools in north London. Play in the two schools was differently gendered, at least partly because of the different organization of the playground. The article will argue that children will use the means available to them to construct gender in their playgrounds and that this will frequently involve the reproduction of hegemonic cultural id…
Tarred with the Same Brush
This article interrogates the concept of `homophobia' via a set of `open' interviews with 16- to 18-year-old boys. It explores a broadly sociological critique of the concept; one that understands boys' anti-lesbian and gay talk and behaviour in terms of the local and dialogic performance of heterosexual masculinities. However, while acknowledging the relevance of this critique, the article suggests that the existence of homophobia highlights the …
Schooling Sexualities

Particular thanks to Debbie Epstein, Deborah Steinberg and Lesley Whitehouse for their detailed suggestions on subsequent rework‐ings of the argument.
