The simulated and sensuous body in young people’s digital cultures
Introduction to the special issue queer frontiers; imagining new intellectual queer futures
This introduction to the Sexualities Special Issue Queer Frontiers: Imagining New Intellectual Queer Futures contextualises queer studies in the present moment. We discuss the current social and political context of the edition, noting the rise of the far right, queerphobia, transphobia and other discriminatory practices. In doing so, we highlight how the authors contributing to this special edition help progress and develop queer studies to equi…
Future girl? Exploring girls’ digital sexual cultures through speculative fabrications
Research reveals a significant gap between young people’s lived experience with digital technologies and the scripted content of online safeguarding programmes that focus on young people’s rational, individual decision-making regarding safe and responsible use. Rarely do online safeguarding programmes engage with the wider gender and sexual norms shaping young people’s digital cultures. This paper outlines how experimenting with speculative ficti…
Schools as Sites of Activism
This paper explores students' political socialisation and activism at school. It draws on research from two datasets: interviews with 24 activists aged 15–25, and data from a national survey of 1600 school students in Wales. Wales offers a unique perspective as a case study for the enactment of young people's civil and political rights, given the focus on children's agency and citizenship in Welsh policy and legislation. The political socialisati…
Young people's digitally-networked bodies
Drawing on data from creative and visual group interviews undertaken in 2018 with five LGBTQ+ young people aged 15–18 years old in the South Wales valleys, this paper explores the gendered experiences of the body online. In line with wider research, participants illustrated that commodified gendered and sexualized norms were intensified online through the everyday forceful intrusion of idealized bodies and abusive body-shaming comments. However, …
What a Mushroom Lives For by Michael J. Hathaway
Relationshipgoals
Drawing on the creative group and individual interviews with young people aged 11–18 years old in England and Wales in 2018, this paper assembles data that addresses the changing nature of intimacies in young people’s digitally-networked lives. Informed by Lauren Berlant’s work (2008, viii), it maps how platforms such as Instagram and YouTube circulate certain ‘fantasies of the good life’ that orient young people towards heteronormative future im…
Fabricating future bodies
Purpose This paper critically examines the development and direction of the Fabricating Future Bodies (FFB) Workshop. Troubling notions of co-production as enacting equality or empowering participants, it draws on feminist posthuman and new materialist concepts to understand it as an eventful process that occurs in unpredictable and shifting affect-laden assemblages. Design/methodology/approach The FFB Workshop formed part of the final phase of m…
Researching LGBT+ Youth Intimacies and Social Media
This paper draws on data from an exploratory study into the social media engagements of LGBT+ young people aged 16 to 20 years old, in the United Kingdom, and considers how participant-led visual methods generated insights into different modalities of digitally mediated intimacy. It outlines the methodological paradigms dominating current research on LGBT+ young people's digitally mediated practices of intimacy and argues that visual methods have…
