The Many Minds approach to group data analysis: A Cat’s Cradle
In this editorial our intention is to describe the Many Minds approach to group data analysis and to contribute to current discussion about the affordances and pitfalls of collective research practices. We showcase work emerging from a particular research culture within the School of Education and Social Work at the University of Sussex and describe the way it has facilitated psychosocially informed qualitative data analysis. The editorial begins…
Sanctuary/ing: A Tender Knowledge Practice in Toxic Times
How do we – scholars in the academy – hold ourselves, each other and the practices of intellectual work in times of entangled multispecies, geopolitical and educational crises? This article presents and reflects on a two-year writing experiment that involved a regular, virtual, group-writing practice among four academics situated in the global North. The writing and resulting discussions evolved into a shared archive and a recursive archiving pra…
Working with Many Minds: An Annotated Bibliography
This annotated bibliography is aimed at those new to the Many Minds approach to collective data analysis, wishing to understand its history and influence. We present a conceptual map, distinguishing three key bodies of work/fields, including: psychoanalytically informed group seminars; narrative approaches to sharing and reusing data; and collaborative group-based data analysis associated with feminist methodologies. Starting at the centre of a V…
Carbon-lite collaboration: A virtual visual matrix
In this article we present an example of psychosocial practice – a visual matrix – which attempted to address and embody carbon-lite research methods in the face of global heating. Combining virtual and face-to-face modes of presence and interaction generated insights as well as posing challenges. In the article we explore two ideas through a discussion of ‘interference’ and ‘inclusion/exclusion’. The article extends our understanding of the meth…
‘We always torment different people, so by definition, we are no bullies’: The problem of definitions in cyberbullying research
In this article, we investigate the power of prevailing definitions within the research field of cyberbullying. We address how these definitions, mostly deriving from developmental psychology, have had a problematic influence on the way researchers, policymakers, practitioners working with interventions, and children and young people themselves approach the challenge of understanding and preventing cyberbullying and its consequences. We analyse h…
Suspended liminality: Vacillating affects in cyberbullying/research
This article develops a concept of liminal hotspots in the context of (a) a secondary analysis of a cyberbullying case involving a group of school children from a Danish school and (b) an altered auto-ethnography in which the authors “entangle” their own experiences with the case analysis. These two sources are used to build an account of a liminal hotspot conceived as an occasion of troubled and suspended transformative transition in which a lim…
A snap of intimacy: Photo-sharing practices among young people on social media
In this paper we investigate photo sharing practices among young people on the ephemeral social media platform Snapchat. What kind of photos are exchanged amongst 12–17 year olds via this app where pictures are elicited after up to 10 seconds? How is the content of the photos perceived by the young people themselves? We employ an Internet-mediated mixed methods approach. The primary empirical material consists of an online survey focusing on phot…
Experimenting with Affects and Senses â A Performative Pop-Up Laboratory (Self-)Critically Revisited
Producing curious affects: Visual methodology as an affecting and conflictual wunderkammer
Digital video cameras, smartphones, internet and iPads are increasingly used as visual research methods with the purpose of creating an affective corpus of data. Such visual methods are often combined with interviews or observations. Not only are visual methods part of the used research methods, the visual products are used as requisites in interviews when interviewees are watching the recordings and share their reflections on these. The purpose …
Travelling and sticky affects: Exploring teens and sexualized cyberbullying through a Butlerian-Deleuzian-Guattarian lens
In this paper we combine the thinking of Deleuze and Guattari (1984, 1987) with Judith Butler's (1990, 1993, 2004, 2009) work to follow the rhizomatic becomings of young people's affective relations in a range of on- and off-line school spaces. In particular we explore how events that may be designated as sexual cyberbullying are constituted and how they are mediated by technology (such as texting or in/through social networking sites). Drawing o…
Appropriate Pupilness: Social categories intersecting in school
The analytical focus in this article is on how social categories intersect in daily school life and how intersections intertwine with other empirically relevant categories such as normality, pupilness and (in)appropriatedness. The point of empirical departure is a daily ritual where teams for football are selected. The article opens up for a microanalysis of everyday practices at the margins and at the core of what this article terms `pupilness'.…
Experimenting with Affects and Senses — A Performative Pop-Up Laboratory (Self-)Critically Revisited
Some years ago, we established a pop-up laboratory at a suburban secondary school in Denmark. Let us call the school ‘X-school’. By the term ‘pop-up laboratory’, we mean a laboratory setting, or a ‘a place to work’, that pops up in a limited time at a particular place and that is designed for working (‘laborara’) with and testing assumptions on a particular research subject on the spot. Our ambition with this laboratory was to get closer to some …
Holddeling: Når der gøres maskulinitet og hvidhed
This article follows a group of 13 year-old boys’ daily selection of football-teams in the schoolyard. The outcome of this repeated practice seems to be identical, i.e. the same teams are selected over and over again. Yet the boys repeat the ritual of selection. It is an empirical investigation based on a fieldwork in a 6th grade in a Copenhagen public school. The analytical focus is on how social categories such as whiteness, masculinity, and ag…
