Moving with Touch: Entanglements of a Child, Valentine's Day Cards, and Research-Activism against Sexual Harassment in Pre-Teen Peer Cultures
In this paper, we respond to feminist new materialist scholars' calls to explore what research in the field of gendered and sexual violence can be, do, and become. This paper explores the microprocesses of change within the more-than-human child-card entanglements as part of our research-activist campaign addressing sexual harassment in pre-teen peer cultures. Drawing on one of our creative workshops, we generate three analytical readings that ma…
Reconfigurings of Non-violence as a Matter of Sustainability and Response-ability
In this paper, we explore non-violence and the responsibility for non-violence inspired by Karen Barad’s work on the material–discursive notion of response-ability. Our analysis, by way of thinking with theory, is based on a careful engagement with the life of one woman, Lena, as told by her in writing and interviews between the years 2007 and 2015. Based on her talk about violence and non-violence in her life, we produced three stories of non-vi…
Associations between school liking, loneliness and social relations among adolescents: Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 study
School is an important social environment, but it can also be a devastating place for those who experience loneliness, are bullied or have problematic social relations. These negative experiences might be associated with school dislike, which in turn can negatively affect pupil’s motivation, academic success and overall well-being. This study examined the associations between school liking with self-reports of experiences of loneliness and social…
Standing by … standing off – troublesome compassion in the relationships of school boys
This paper draws on the story of 'Mikael', a schoolboy from northern Finland, to examine how his affective ties of compassion and his pursuit of dominant forms of masculinity evolve in his journey from middle childhood to young adulthood. In his earlier years, Mikael's speech regarding his relationships with peers and family members indicates a non-hierarchical sympathetic orientation, enabling sensitivity to diverse vulnerabilities. Over time, h…
Experience of loneliness among adolescent girls and boys: Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 study
When an individual's socio-emotional needs are not being adequately met, the subjective and negative feeling of loneliness occurs. Study assessed the experiences of loneliness of 16-year-olds in the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1986 (n=7014). Most (70.4%) adolescents reported not feeling lonely, 26.4% reported feeling somewhat and 3.2% reported feeling very lonely. Girls reported more loneliness than boys. Multinomial logistic regression was emp…
Earn Yo' Respect! Respect in the Status Struggle of Finnish School Boys
What is respect among school boys and how can it be earned? Reaching across disciplines, this article contends that respect is a dimension of status in the context of masculinities in peer relations, as are peer likeability and power positions. Drawing on longitudinal interviews and observational material, the authors scrutinize violence, physicality, materiality, and performances, exploring how school boys use these resources strategically to ga…
Humour as a resource and strategy for boys to gain status in the field of informal school
Through a feminist approach this paper illustrates how humour is used as a resource and strategy for status among Finnish school boys and in constructing culturally accepted masculinity in the field of informal school. Based on interview and observation material collected in three schools, the results suggest that although humour is often affiliative and positive in nature, exclusive, violent humour is also used as a resource and strategy, which …
