>> Abstract:
>> Derived from a wider study based on children's perceptions of mobile
>> phones and risk in their everyday lives, this presentation considers
>> children, mobile phones and sexuality. 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.
