“…Dicho de otro modo, los resultados presentados concuerdan con la literatura anterior en que la gordura es una condición altamente rechazada, sin embargo, el énfasis de este trabajo está en explicar dicho rechazo. Para ello es necesario trasladar la explicación de las teorías de la subjetivación desde un campo más racional a uno más afectivo (Clough, 2008;Coleman, 2008Coleman, , 2013Coleman, , 2014Coleman, , 2016 En general, desde la teoría foucaultiana, la subjetivación ha sido conceptualizada como un asunto de orden racional, vinculado a campos de saber como la psiquiatría o la regulación de poblaciones generales o específicas como la prisión (Foucault, 2002b(Foucault, , 2005(Foucault, , 2006. En su análisis de la sexualidad, Foucault (2002a) estudia el modo en que el sujeto da forma a sí mismo a través de una diversidad de prácticas prescritas éticamente.…”

RESUMENEl objetivo de este trabajo es mostrar que en la regla sobre el grosor del cuerpo se establece una relación para el sí mismo, donde se articula una forma de subjetivación femenina que se basa principalmente en una prescripción afectiva. Para ello se presentan los resultados de un estudio que buscó describir y comprender el modo en que se construye socialmente la gordura. Se trabajó con un diseño cualitativo, se realizaron seis grupos de discusión mixtos de jóvenes y adultos de la ciudad de Santiago de Chile. En los resultados se muestra que la gordura se construye como un problema de orden afectivo que representa una trasgresión de la norma de "Quien se quiere, cuida de sí". En este sentido, la gordura se explica afectivamente. La vergüenza es central para mostrar el carácter vinculante, y por tanto, subjetivante que tiene esta norma sobre el tamaño del cuerpo. Estas reglas se focalizan en las mujeres, para ella se prescriben ciertos matices. Uno de ellos es que deben amarse a sí mismas para constituirse como objeto de amor de otro. En las conclusiones se reflexiona sobre las implicancias que tiene este estudio para indagar en los procesos de subjetivación femenina desde una perspectiva foucaultiana. ABSTRACTThe objective of this work is to show that the rule that establishes that bodies should be thin, installs a rule for the self. A form of feminine subjectification is articulated in this rule, based on an affective prescription. To show this, we present the results of a study that sought to describe and understand the way in which fat is socially constructed. We worked with a qualitative design, with six mixed discussion groups of young people and adults from the city of Santiago de Chile. In the results it is shown that fatness is constructed as an affective problem that represents a transgression of the norm of "Who loves, takes care of itself". In this sense, fatness is explained affectively. Shame is central to show the binding nature, and therefore subjectifying, that this rule of body size has. These rules are focused on women, for which certain nuances are prescribed. One of them is that they must love themselves to be an object of love for another. The conclusions reflect on the implications of this study to investigate the processes of female subjectivation from a Foucauldian perspective.

“…Causational perspectives see power working in a unidirectional manner between human and non-human objects. In this traditional rendition, any activating force is always seen to emanate from the human (Coleman, 2014). Coleman (2014) explains that the material turn 'relinquish[es] the unidirectional model of causation in which either culture or biology is determinative and instead…….adopt[s] a model in which causation is conceived as complex, recursive, and multi-linear' (p.71).…”

Photos of (no)thing: The becoming of data about sexuality at school

This paper asks, what 'newness ' (Springgay & Zaliwska, 2015) does a new materialist feminist engagement with photos of 'nothing' produce for thinking about images as data in research about sexuality at school? Somewhat unusually, this paper takes as its focusphotos of what appear to be, nothing. These indecipherable photos were captured by student photo-diarists as part of research into the sexual cultures of schooling. Traditionally, these photos would not constitute data because they contain no identifiable people or objects, are blurry and were classified by photo-diarists as 'mistakes'. This paper involves a revisiting of these images drawing on the work of Barad (2007), Hultman andLenz Taguchi (2010) and MacLure (2013). It considers how ideas around onto-epistemology, intra-activity and agential realism might undo and unknow the researcher's previous encounters with them. The paper argues feminist new materialism challenges the nature of what counts as data about sexuality at school and thereby the ontology of data about sexuality itself.

“…In their own research, Rebecca, Kathryn and Sarah tackle difficult questions about time and temporalities with grace and clarity. From Rebecca's rightly influential contributions to feminist sociologies of time, hope, and futures (Coleman and Ferreday 2011; Coleman and Tutton 2017) we might come to understand, amongst many other things, the enormous potential of reflecting on our own performativity as researchers and of using inventive research methods to study how temporalities are lived (Coleman 2014(Coleman , 2016. From Kathryn's insightful analysis of the limitations of human rights law and discourse, and her radical political vision, we might develop hope in the promise of a feminist-oriented "human rights to come" (McNeilly 2017).…”
