Goals
To answer the following research questions: How are girls’ and
boys’ mediated bodies and body parts constructed, negotiated and made sense of in the
teen peer group? Howare images of girls’ breasts surveilled and owned by others? In what
ways can images of girls’ bodies be used to sexually shame them? How do images of
‘boobs’ work differently than those of ‘six-packs’ and ‘pecs’? When and how is digital
proof of sexual activity shamed or rewarded?
