Fifteen Maya Ixil and K’iche’ women of Chajul, Guatemala, were interviewed 17 years after publishing their feminist participatory action photovoice research. Their book documents gross violations of human rights during nearly 36 years of armed conflict and their memories of survivance and persistence. A constructivist grounded theory analysis of in-depth interviews with these Maya Ixil and K’iche’ women contributed to the authors’ “bottom up” meaning making of the women's narratives – stories that reflect memories of participatory, community-based workshops and community actions in the wake of genocidal violence. The latter included performances of: presence despite absences; profound losses amidst ongoing suffering; renewed and transformative engagement with traditional beliefs and practices; women's protagonism evidenced through enhanced skills; new capacities performed in multiple contexts within and beyond their community's borders. We analyze these narratives of protagonism and persistence to elucidate some of the multiple contributions of long-term feminist community-based accompaniment and participatory processes as resources for rethreading life and wellbeing in the wake of war.
15名来自危地马拉Chajul的Maya Ixil和K ' iche女性在发表了她们的女权主义参与行动照片voice研究17年后接受了采访。他们的书记录了近36年武装冲突期间严重侵犯人权的行为,以及他们对生存和坚持的记忆。通过对这些玛雅伊西尔族和K ' iche '族妇女的深入访谈,作者运用建构主义理论对这些妇女的叙事进行了“自下而上”的意义建构——这些故事反映了种族灭绝暴力之后参与性的、以社区为基础的讲习班和社区行动的记忆。后者包括以下表现:缺席时在场;在持续的痛苦中遭受重大损失;重新与传统信仰和习俗进行变革;通过提高技能证明妇女的主角地位;在社区境内外的多种情况下发挥新的能力。我们分析了这些主角和坚持的叙述,以阐明长期女权主义社区陪伴和参与过程的一些多重贡献,作为战后重新调整生活和福祉的资源。

This article focuses on the practice of breastfeeding selfies, as a relational practice within online breastfeeding groups. I suggest that despite breastfeeding being upheld as the most superior infant feeding method, the practice has a paradoxical relationship to discourses of the “good mother” and the idealisation of motherhood more generally. This is due to the unashamed boldness of the practice, which flies in the face of notions of discretion, with their subsequent links to respectability. Breastfeeding selfies can be understood as gestures for something outside of the mother-infant dyad, therefore insisting on recognising the desire, needs and sociality of the mother. Furthermore, they move to position breastfeeding as a social, rather than an individual or solitary act. The desire for women to share their mothering experiences with other women challenges the individualising notion of the exclusive mother and, furthermore, can be understood as an invitation for intimacy with other women. Whilst the practice has the potential to be interpreted in a way which challenges much of the pernicious “good mother” discourses, it continues to be a practice marked in Whiteness, revealing the inequitable nature of online public spaces.

This Special Issue sets out to consider gendered family relationships in digital spaces. These spaces, including social media, digital media, streaming services, and web pages, have increased access to family-focused content online. Drawing on critical feminist psychological perspectives that question the prioritisation of essentialist and normative conceptualisations of family and gender, this special issue examines the phenomenon of digital mothering within families (Lazard, 2022). Through a feminist lens focusing on gender and relationships, it considers the manifold ways in which mothering is embedded in familial constructions, practices, and representations. Engagement in digital spaces has notably subject in both academic and popular arenas. sel e posting practices typically whilst posting ” social and ’ these linguistically gender-neutral characterisations obscure the fact that these practices are, in the context of online platforms, highly gendered and feminised et al., 2015).

Images and representations of parenting, and particularly mothering, have become commonplace on social media platforms over the past decade. These displays, however, take place in the context of popular contemporary discourses around gender and parenting that are in many ways prescriptive. This paper explores the constructions of mothering online through an analysis of posts about mothers on Mother’s Day from 2018 to 2020. Data were collected from Instagram and Twitter using hashtags such as #mothersday, #happymothersday and #motheringsunday. Both content and thematic analyses were conducted. This paper will consider three main themes that were identified in the data: “Beauty & biology”; “Grief & loss” and “Care (& COVID)”, with a focus on constructions of gendered parenting and family through the explicit celebration of the lives and roles of mothers. The findings provide insight into normative constructions of gender and how these are mediated through the affordances of social media platforms in a neoliberal context.

There has been growing concern about rising physical inactivity levels in female adolescents, with schools taking some responsibility to address this. Programmes designed for and by girls are increasingly being used by developing or delivering a programme of change and consultation to improve physical activity, physical education, and sport in school. However, to build an understanding of the nuances of such interventions, and better appreciate any gendered benefits and challenges, girls’ voices need to be heard. Based on data from 16 focus groups from 8 schools participating in a female-focused intervention trial (“Girls Active”), we explored adolescent girls’ views of this type of intervention. We used reflexive organic thematic analysis to understand key issues. Four themes were developed: stereotypes; choice; empowerment and voice; and equality. Our feminist approach centralised adolescent girls’ voices, thereby recognising that physical activity is rooted in patriarchal constructions that position girls as naturally uninterested in sport and activity. We suggest gender-focused interventions can actively address stereotypes by listening to girls.

Conspiracy theories have recently come under the scrutiny of social psychology. While some theorists have treated them as a deficient way of thinking, others have considered them as a form of political rhetoric with important social implications. We focus on conspiracy theories in the context of online public deliberation on legislation allowing registration of self-defined gender in Greece. Employing the tools of Critical Discursive Psychology, we analyse comments posted on the Ministry of Justice's website created for public consultation about the law change. We focus on the mobilization of conspiracy theories by people who oppose Law 4491/2017 (“Legal Recognition of Gender Identity – National Mechanism for the Development, Monitoring and Evaluation of Action Plans on Children's Rights and Other Provisions”). These commentators often argued that powerful groups are behind the proposed legislation, aiming at decreasing Earth's population, disrupting moral order, and violating humanness. We demonstrate how these constructions helped participants to perform various tasks, such as delegitimizing the legislation while at the same time avoiding the stigma of prejudice, promoting far-right political practices, and rebutting accusations of political partisanship. The results are discussed in relation to conspiracy theories’ role in countering “gender ideology” and in promoting cisgenderism and heteronormativity.
