ABSTRACT This article explores ways of queering the youthful cyber-flâneur, using the television series Queer as Folk as the touchstone for such explorations. The concept of the youthful cyberflâneur, as developed by Kenway and Bullen, links power, pleasure, and consumer politics to pedagogy. However, it has been criticised for its heterosexist register. Here, the authors seek to attend to this criticism and enhance the pedagogical potential of this concept by drawing on the work of Rasmussen who introduces discourses of pleasure and sexuality into debates around pedagogy. The queer youthful cyberflâneur not only attends to the centrality of sexuality in young people's lives but also to some of the links between consumer culture, sexuality, and globalisation.
本文以电视剧《作为民间的酷儿》(Queer as Folk)为试金石,探讨了“酷儿”化网络青年的方式。由肯威和布伦提出的年轻的网络fl概念,将权力、快乐和消费者政治与教育学联系起来。然而,它因其异性恋登记而受到批评。在这里,作者试图关注这一批评,并通过借鉴Rasmussen的工作来增强这一概念的教学潜力,Rasmussen将快乐和性的话语引入到围绕教育学的辩论中。酷儿青年网络fl不仅关注年轻人生活中的性中心,还关注消费文化、性和全球化之间的一些联系。

Globalization has had a pervasive if not pernicious impact on the culture, politics, economics, and education of most societies.

Although modernist research into homosexualities and the movement for homosexual emancipation had its origins in German positivism (most notably through the work of Hirschfeld), the epicenter for its dissemination and commodification–from Mattachine and Stonewall, Boys in the Band and Queer Eye for a Straight Guy, Olivia Cruises and Advocate Man–is the United States.

Abstract During the past ten years, attention on bullying has intensified among educators, parents, journalists, and educational researchers in the wake of high-profile incidents of bullying in some Canadian schools. Safe schools policies and programs have proliferated as a result. However, the issue of homophobia-a pervasive form of bullying-tends to be absent from public discussion, anti-bullying programs, and so-called safe schools policies. This essay explores the politics of bullying and of related policies and programs. The author challenges educational leaders to initiate and support measures to confront homophobic bullying, even against certain opposition, in order to promote safety for all students.
