Material as actor in the enactment of social norms: Engaging with a sociomaterial perspective in childhood studies to avoid the ‘traps of closure’

Abstract: This article employs a sociomaterial perspective and explores how material artefacts take part in the enactment of social norms by analysing empirical examples from two different childhood studies projects in Norway. Drawing on interview data with tweens, (children aged 8–12), and observational data from an early education and care institution (ECEC), we argue that material, in this case toys and makeup, make a difference in the enactment of social norms in children's everyday lives. Our aim is to demonstrate … Show more

“…In childhood studies, the work of Law, and Mol in particular, has been inspirational for studies of children and sexuality (Sparrman, 2018), child culture (Sparrman et al, 2016), education and aesthetic norms (Sørenssen and Franck, 2021), and bodies and food (Eßer, 2017). A focus on material objects and education provides insights into different adult ideals of what childhood is (Kraftl, 2006).…”

“…Turtaking er sentralt i den sosiale virkeligheten i barns liv i barnehagen; de sosiale normene om å dele er ikke bare knyttet til digital teknologi, men må sees som en overordnet norm (se bl.a. Sørenssen & Franck, 2021). I vokseninitiert og voksenstyrt aktivitet i barnehagen, som er utgangspunktet i vår studie, kan barnas sosialisering for eksempel dreie seg om turtaking (Franck, 2018).…”

“…Barna viser stor iver etter selv å trykke på hotspots; de snakker både om å få tilgang og å sikre turtaking gjennom å dele. Sosiale normer laeres (Franck, 2018;Sørenssen & Franck, 2021) og inngår også i den didaktiske refleksjonen (Gundem, 2011). Ved at barnehagelaereren sier: «Sånn, nå er det din tur, Birger», vil både Birger og de andre barna få erfaring med normer om å dele og ta tur.…”

“…However, it is interesting how a moral order relating to turn-taking and acting on the screen was established and works as a resource with regard to the distribution of participant positions. Sørenssen and Franck (2021) argue that employing a sociomaterial perspective can aid scholars and practitioners in exploring and expanding their understanding of how "the child" is enacted in different assemblages. We want to add to this and suggest that such a perspective can also aid in expanding the understanding of what digital literacy practices can be when enacted in different assemblages in an ECEC setting.…”
