| Popis: | Youth communities are no longer bound to the analogue world, but they also take digital forms – and in their sexualized versions, they often involve the production, use and sharing of digital imagery. This paper explores young people’s digitally mediated negotiations and demarcations of (in)appropriate gender norms, positionings and identities through the sharing of sexualized digital imagery, e.g. nudes. Mostly, these practices are unproblematic, but sometimes they take highly abusive forms with imagery of female peers being spread non-consensually among friends, acquaintances and further afield to more or less publicly accessible social and digital media sites, where it is discussed and evaluated in harsh and malicious ways by boys and young men. Through a new materialist perspective, combined with conceptualizations from poststructuralism, the paper discusses how gendered expectations and social longing contribute to the production of boys’ and young men’s engagement image-based abuse. The paper combines research material from digital ethnography on social and digital media with analogue fieldwork and interviews conducted among young people aged 15-20 at a vocational school. |
