Sticky Biomedical Objects
This article combines qualitative and quantitative methods to examine affectivity in discussions on Twitter about the first years of a pilot programme for medicinal cannabis in Denmark. Starting in 2018, the pilot programme has been the object of much public discussion, including on social media. Drawing on data from the platform Twitter and affect theory from Sara Ahmed (2010 , 2014 ), the article uses a combination of computational methods and …
Feeling clumsy and curious. A collective reflection on experimenting with poetry as an unconventional method
In this paper, we offer a collective, multi‐vocal reflection on using poetry for research purposes. These were reflections on an online sub‐plenary session organized as a workshop, which was held at the European Group for Organization Studies conference in 2021. During this workshop, the first three authors presented a step‐by‐step method for doing poetic inquiry and invited participants to apply it to their own empirical data or research praxis.…
Workshopping Troubles
Digital methods, taken up in the collection and analysis of data, raise concerns around extraction, representation, care, consent, and participation familiar to feminist methodologies. At a feminist STS lab, specialising in digital methods, we convened some workshops to support research design in ongoing projects situated in the Lab’s community, with the aim to articulate feminist principles for digital methods. These projects, working with metho…

Absent Data
This paper considers the ways in which silences and absences are a central part of research that relies on automated data collection from social media or the internet. In recent years, automated data collection driven or supported research methods have gained popularity within the social sciences and humanities. With this increase in popularity, it becomes ever more pertinent to consider how to engage with digital data, and how both engagement an…
Writing bodies and bodies of text
In this article, we suggest approaching writing as a vulnerable practice marked by an unstable boundary between bodies: bodies of text and bodies of writers. We present an exercise‐method that we refer to as Monster Writing, which we have developed in order to engage with these instabilities as well as in order to address experiences of difficulty, anxiety and uncertainty in relation with the text and writing process. Though the writing process c…
Health Debates on Social Media
Drawing on the examples of three current health debates on Twitter revolving around the hashtags #medicalcannabis, #covid19 and #vaccinationervirker (in English: vaccinations work), this paper explores the broader theoretical question how we may expand the notion of ‘health data’ to include health debates and discussions on social media, and further how these can be linked to concepts of digital health data assemblages and communicative others. B…

Detoxing feels good
In this paper, I examine the online platforms that present and facilitate two highly profiled diets: the vegan meal service 22Days Nutrition and goop.com’s detoxes. 22Days Nutrition and the goop detoxes are noteworthy case studies because they showcase a shift in the way dieting is approached in the contemporary moment. Rather than being concerned exclusively with weight loss, these diets stress the emotional value and reward that their highly re…
Food-body intra-activity and the relational “obese” subject in Super Size Me and Make the Connection
The author considers the relationship between bodies, food, and the construction of the “obese” subject in Oprah Winfrey’s self-help book Make the Connection and Morgan Spurlock’s film Super Size Me. Interestingly, the process of becoming “obese” in these texts has very little to do with gaining weight. Instead, it is highly dependent on Winfrey and Spurlock’s relationship to food and eating, and the circumstances in which this eating takes place…

Here, anthropologist Carole Counihan was one of the first scholars to work with the food-gender intersection. Over the past four decades, she has continued to work with the area in an array of different contexts. In this interview, Counihan describes how she has worked with …
Planting these plants is special because they have been shared with us by the White House
This article presents a critical reading of American Grown, a cookbook/how-to gardening book published by Michelle Obama in 2012. The article argues that while American Grown may at first glance seem like a coffee table-style book about the 2010 planting of the White House kitchen garden, it should in fact be read as a piece of public health communication and a gastrogovernmental text born out of social panic over the contemporary obesity epidemi…
Strange Culinary Encounters
In this article, we examine the ways in which the encountering of “other” food cultures is played out in the two travelogue cooking shows Gordon's Great Escape and Jamie's Italian Escape. We investigate how the two protagonist chefs, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, imagine, meet and evaluate the “other” food cultures in these programs, paying special attention to how the encounter with the local Indian and Italian is imagined to be a gateway to a…
Food in Gender Studies and Gender in Food Studies
Food is many things.At the most basic level, food is nutrition, a necessity for our collective survival.It prevents us from starving or becoming sick, and provides us with the energy we need to live and preform basic tasks.But food is much more than this.Food is also social and cultural -just consider how central the social experience of eating is when we celebrate, when we turn on the TV to watch the latest cooking-or baking show, and when we do…
