Cyber Dating and Sexual Fantasies in Men Who Have Sex with Men from Spain
Prior research on rape culture has largely focused on heterosexual women and has underexamined men who have sex with men (MSM) in digital contexts and there is little work on midlife users of Scruff . This study addresses these gaps by analyzing how sexual scripts on Scruff intersect with intimacy, gendered positioning, and technology facilitated sexual violence among Spanish MSM. By using a mixed methods discourse analysis, we examined 300 profi…
Creando comunidades de aprendizaje horizontales
Este estudio conceptualiza el aprendizaje como una relación horizontal y analiza las percepciones de un grupo de estudiantes universitarios sobre su aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera (inglés) al integrar libros-álbum y la red social Twitter-X como ejes dinamizadores. A través de un cuestionario de estrategias de aprendizaje y motivación académica, el estudio evidencia la mejora de las estrategias (meta-)cognitivas, de motivación intrínseca y d…
Critical femininities
This study adopts a Critical Femininities approach to examine the under-theorised domain of sexual norms on dating apps, with a focus on the self-representations of Spanish heterosexual women on Tinder. Through an analysis of three hundred profiles, this research investigates the gendered dynamics influencing these women’s portrayals of themselves in the digital dating context. Combining quantitative and qualitative methodologies, the findings re…
Examining gay male discursive practices in hook-up apps
Whilst there is a growing body of literature on the normalisation of abuse in youth digital sexual image exchange (Ringrose, Regehr & Whitehead 2021), mediated intimacies and sexual harms among men who have sex with men (MSM) in online contexts still remain largely neglected (Dietzel 2021). The present study builds on Russell's (2021) study on male discursive practices and investigates sexual and gendered ideologies in 600 online dating profiles …
Intercultural and interpersonal communication failures
Although the use of the mobile application communication technology for interpersonal communication seems to be less physically threatening, building successful relationships has become more complex. Using both quantitative and qualitative analyses of the way(s) British and Spanish university students manage a hostile situation when disputing among each other on WhatsApp, the present study aims to shed light on conflict management by investigatin…
Discursive representation of masculinity and femininity in Tinder and Grindr
By analysing 200 Tinder profiles of Spanish heterosexual men and 200 Grindr profiles of Spanish queer men, this article examines these men’s online gendered and sexualised self-representation strategies. More specifically, the study develops a discourse and feminist analysis of post-feminist media cultures which contrasts these men’s discursive representations. In so doing, the article attempts to cast light on the (d-)evaluating discursive strat…
T(w)een sexting and sexual behaviour
This study explores the gendered discourses of youth sexualities. More specifically, it reports on research examining t(w)een girls’ discursive construction and negotiation of their femininities in the context of sexting. Using a qualitative method, the study attempts to contribute to the understanding of the multidimensionality of femininity. In order to do so, it brings femme theory into focus and contributes to its growth by analysing tween an…
Managing conflict on WhatsApp
This study investigates family conflict talk in a computer-mediated environment from a language-in-interaction focus. It is based on two different data sets of six WhatsApp groups that feature arguing British families, and of six WhatsApp groups that feature arguing Spanish families. It looks at the different linguistic strategies that participants deploy when taking up opposing stances on a given issue. Through a detailed discourse analysis of t…
From Selfies to Sexting
In this article I attempt to contribute to the debates on sexualization, and on tweens’ sexual agency and choice by reporting on a qualitative study of how 53 tween girls self-presented in discourse in the context of sexting (sending sexually explicit text messages and pictures to others). More specifically, the study aims to interrogate tweens’ sexual agency and the complexity of girls’ choices by analyzing their evaluative beliefs about, and mo…
Dragons’ Den
Teen girls and sexual agency
The electronic swapping of sexually provocative images and texts, commonly known as sexting, seems to have become part and parcel of adolescents’ social lives. In spite of both media and policy attention, questions remain about the way(s) young women navigate sexual relationships and construct their gendered identity discursively by endorsing/challenging social and behavioural norms of sexual agency. Guided discussions involving 36 young women we…
You look terrific!’ Social evaluation and relationships in online compliments
Despite its apparent simplicity, the speech act of complimenting has received a great deal of attention in the literature. However, studies have mostly focused on compliments’ realization in face-to-face conversational exchanges, while they have often been neglected in other channels such as online communication. This article is intended to redress the balance in support of online exchanges. More specifically, we aim to investigate how users of o…
Regulating girlhood
Placing the discursive psychological analysis of sexuality at its centre, this article considers a number of overlapping fields of linguistics: women’s language, construction of gender identities and language and sexuality. By encompassing these fields, in spite of potential differences in terms of theoretical stance and foci of analysis, the present study suggests a wider stance in the analysis of language, gender and sexuality. The study consid…
Disembodiment and cyberspace
At present, cyberspace tends to occupy a growing part of the social realities of most teenagers. The present study suggests that personal weblogs collectively can be said to comprise a social institution which serves to foster and maintain a cult of femininity. In promoting a cult of femininity, these personal weblogs are not merely reflecting the female role in society; they are also supplying one source of definitions of, and socialization into…
Competing narratives, gender and threaded identity in cyberspace
Using a blog corpus, the current study of weblog writing explores changing cultural norms surrounding technology-mediated formation of interpersonal relationships and aims to gain insight into important aspects of online female behaviour. More specifically, this article analyses the way in which British and Spanish female adolescents disclose personal information about their love-lives. In doing so, I argue that these bloggers create competing na…
Teenage Girls' Personal Weblog Writing
This paper presents an analysis of the construction of female gender identity in British and Spanish personal weblog writing. More precisely, this study offers an insight into the way white female adolescents conceptualize gender roles in twenty-first century society, especially in terms of self-expression. Inspection of this British and Spanish blog corpus suggests that British and Spanish teenage females' gain of self-esteem is still at an earl…
Don’t get mad, get persuasive
Although social scientists, journalists, and tv presenters have made great efforts to justify the relevance and importance of audience discussion programmes, these programmes have been commonly labelled as “trash television”. Among the most frequent criticisms in the literature are the accusations that these programmes turn serious matters into sensationalist spectacle and indulge emotional outbursts while pretending to offer some kind of public …
