It examines contemporary > discourses of childhood, culture and sexuality in post modernity to > suggest that the mobile phone is central to understanding children's > social networks, sexuality and reflexivity in their construction of > self-identity. The data obtained from focus groups with children > resonate with notions of the pursuit of self and personal identity > and the research findings suggest that whilst the relationship > between the mobile phone, young people and sexuality is complex, it > is fundamentally important to understanding contemporary children's > everyday lives and their construction of self and as gendered, sexual > identities. The children in the study were creative using both mobile > and other technologies to construct and maintain sexual identities, > share material of a sexual nature and manage intimate, romantic > relationships. The findings suggests that the mobile phone provides a > space in contemporary children's lives for developing their > sexuality, the sharing of and exploration of sexual material and > indeed each other's bodies largely concealed from the adult world. > > ---- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Announcements of seminars, workshops and events from Chimera. > > Previous seminar slides can be found at: > > http://www.essex.ac.uk/chimera/seminars.html > > Chimera blog: http://istr.wordpress.com > > To unsubscribe from this list go to: > http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/chimera-announce.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mobile-society" group.
