Abstract

Inspired by feminist new materialist and posthuman activist philosophy, this paper speculates on what happens when data entangles with arts-based methodologies in a school-based participatory activist project with six teen girls (age 15) on gender-based and sexual violence. Mapping the journey of how data become da(r)ta and how da(r)ta become d/artaphacts, the paper follows how the Runway of Disrespect, the Shame Chain, the Ruler-Skirt and the Tagged Heart ripple through peer cultures, school assemblies and national policy landscapes. Each journey provides a small glimpse into how bodies, space, objects, affects and discourse ‘intra-act’ in dynamic assemblages to produce d/artaphacts crafted from and carrying experience. The paper concludes to consider the ethical-political affordances of how participatory arts-based methodologies and the im/personal vitality of objects might support young people to safely and creatively communicate and potentially transform oppressive sexual cultures and practices.

  • Participatory research positioning young people as change agents is important from a child's rights perspective.

    “Participatory research that positions young people as change agents and asks their views has been long recognized as important from a child’s rights perspective (Renold et al., 2018; Setty, 2019a).”

    From Teen Girls’ Experiences Negotiating the Ubiquitous Dick Pic: Sexual Double Standards and the Normalization of Image Based Sexual Harassment (2021) · cites this paper as Renold et al., 2018

    The Introduction describes young people co-producing research and activism, and ‘Feel what I feel: affective intra-activisms’ describes inviting them to become change-makers. These passages support the participatory, change-agent aspect, but our copy does not establish that this approach has long been recognized as important from a child’s rights perspective. (LLM, conf=0.84)

  • Engaging young people as interlocutors enables them to communicate safely and creatively and potentially transform oppressive sexual cultures and practices.

    “or as Renold (2018) puts it, engaging young people as interlocutors enables 'safely and creatively communicate and potentially transform oppressive sexual cultures and practices' (p. 37).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
