“…Yleisesti ASMR-videoita ei juuri pidetäkään vakavasti otettavina, vaan niihin suhtaudutaan lähinnä rajatun kohderyhmän hupaisan outona sosiaalisen median ilmiönä. Siitä huolimatta videot kertovat kiinnostavia asioita arkipäiväisestä verkon käytöstämme ja digitaalisuuden vaikutuksesta jokapäiväiseen elämäämme (Sadowski 2016). Maailmalla ASMR-videoita on tehtailtu koko 2010-luvun ajan (Gallagher 2018), ja esimerkiksi vuonna 2011 perustetun Gentle Whispering ASMR -kanavan suosituinta videota on katsottu yli 21 miljoonaa kertaa.…”

“…Tuntoaistimuksen kaltaisia tuntemuksia ilman fyysistä kontaktia aiheuttavat ASMR-roolileikkivideot peilaavat siis keholliseen kokemukseen perustuvia muistoja, minkä vuoksi niitä on mahdollista tarkastella myös affektiivisina verkkosisältöinä (Smith & Snider 2019;Andersen 2015;Sadowski 2016). Affekteissa on kysymys tietoisten ja tiedostamattomien muistojen ja tuntemusten kehollisista arkistoista.…”

Leikitäänkö kampaajaa? Digitaalinen koskettaminen ASMR-roolileikkivideoissa

ASMR on lyhenne sanoista Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. Ilmiöllä tarkoitetaan erilaisten aistiärsykkeiden eli triggereiden aikaansaamia, tahdosta riippumattomia, miellyttäviä ja rauhoittavia aistielämyksiä. Joillakin ihmisillä nämä ääni- ja visuaaliset ärsykkeet (lähikuiskaukset, naputtelut, rapistelut ja hitaat käsiliikkeet) aiheuttavat ”kylmien väreiden” kaltaista kihelmöintiä, jonka kuvataan kulkeutuvan pään takaosasta selkärankaa pitkin muualle kehoon. Tässä artikkelissa analysoin YouTubessa viime vuosina suosituiksi muodostuneita ASMR-roolileikkivideoita, joissa vloggaajat ovat tarinallistaneet triggereiden tuottamisen esittäessään esimerkiksi kampaajia, kosmetologeja ja lääkäreitä. Olen kiinnostunut siitä, miten näissä ASMR-roolileikkivideoissa luodaan koskettamisen illuusio. ASMR-videoita on tutkittu terapeuttisina teknologioina sekä affektiteorioihin ja haptiseen mediatutkimukseen tukeutuen. Itse asetan ilmiön leikintutkimuksen viitekehykseen tarkoituksenani osoittaa, että videot on mahdollista nähdä fyysisen leikin digitaalisena ilmenemismuotona. Analysoin videoita niiden lähiluennalla, mutta tutkimuksessani voi nähdä myös piirteitä auto- ja aistietnografisesta lähestymistavasta. Analyysini perusteella digitaalisen kosketuksen voi ASMR-roolileikkivideoiden kohdalla nähdä muodostuvan aistien synestesian, kehollisen tietämisen ja mielikuvituksen yhteisvaikutuksesta. Let’s play hairdressers? Digital touch in ASMR role play videos ASMR is an acronym for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response, which is an autonomous, pleasurable and calming feeling accompanied by a tingling sensation that begins on the scalp and moves down the back of the neck and spine. It is caused by specific auditory or visual stimuli, which are called triggers (close whispering, tapping, rustling, and slow hand movements). In this article, I analyse the popular video category of ASMR role plays in YouTube. In these role play videos vloggers are performing triggers for instance as haidressers, cosmetologists, and doctors. I am interested in finding out how they are creating an illusion of touch. ASMR videos have been studied as therapeutic technologies and in the context of affect theories and haptic media studies. By applying play theory to understandings of ASMR role plays, my aim is to point out that they can be seen as a digital manifestation of physical play. My methodological approach consists of close reading of the videos but I have also utilized auto-ethnography as sensory participation. According to my analysis, the digital touch consists of synaesthesia, bodily knowledge, and imagination.

“…It is true that feminist activists are increasingly turning to digital technologies and social media platforms to engage in dialogue on, network around and organize against sexism, misogyny, harassment and rape (see Mendes et al, 2018). This has been theorized as a part of the fourth-wave feminist movement, as it focuses on the importance of digital media for the feminist movement, and studies how feminists use information technology 2 (see for example Jackson and Banaszczyk, 2016; Kingston Mann, 2014; Munro, 2013; Sadowski, 2016; Wrye, 2009). Digital spaces are used by young feminists to shape a public self.…”

“…Digital spaces are used by young feminists to shape a public self. So-called technofeminist scholars have demonstrated how ‘women’s identities, needs and priorities are configured together with digital technology’ (Wajcman, 2010: 150) and how women ‘have been able to create alternative publics that function as spaces for debate, politicisation and as fertiliser for feminist activism’ (Knappe and Lang, 2014: 362; see also Jackson and Banaszczyk, 2016; Sadowski, 2016). Even so, key feminist groups are concerned with how digital technology has been used by the feminist movement, as there has not been any ‘explicit, organized effort to repurpose technologies for progressive gender political ends’ (Cuboniks, 2018: 17).…”

“…I would argue that #akademiuppropet should be understood as a kind of digital feminist activism, whereby women in academia shaped a counter-public space (see Jackson, 2016; Jackson and Banaszczyk, 2016; Jackson et al, 2018) or a digital intimacy (Sadowski, 2016) where women could share stories about sexual harassment with each other, and more importantly, could form a collective narrative based on the individual testimonies. When that was achieved, we drafted a powerful petition and went offline with our demands.…”

The term camgirl refers to girls and women who use audiovisual digital media to communicate with public audiences. However, the meaning of the term is in flux: while it initially described early, tech‐savvy livecasting pioneers who put their everyday lives on display, it today more commonly means performers who engage in sexual behavior in front of the camera, usually in real time and often in exchange for financial compensation, and hybrid forms thereof. In a first step, this encyclopedia entry traces the historical development of the camgirl between those two poles. It discusses how the camgirl has been interpreted in different contexts and from varying perspectives (such as the male gaze, community building, pornography, intimacy, or empowerment). Second, it discusses contemporary successors and, finally, how the camgirl relates to a present online culture of ubiquitous self‐exposure.
