The Politics of Voice in Tween Girls’ Music Criticism
No full textThe tween girl music fan is often constructed as the antithesis of the normative critic; she is imagined to be naive, hysterical, or driven by repressed sexuality. This essay argues that girls employ unique forms of collaborative and embodied criticism, and that their engagement with popular music is one of the primary ways they translate their sensory perception of the world into social and political meaning. Using their aesthetic judgments about the musical voice as one example of this process shows how girls understand the politics of gender through sonic regimes and how music allows them to imagine an intimate public of girlhood.

Troubling the Image-Work of Children in the Age of the Viral Child: Re-Working the Figure of the Child
No full textThis article works toward an expanded reading of the viral child by beginning with the “origin” example of the 2007 viral video known as “Charlie Bit My Finger—Again!” In drawing on theatrical as well as sociological histories of the “priceless” child, it thinks through the evolution of the scriptive, performative, and economic dimensions of children and young people’s material and digital media cultures. It argues that the kinds of capital produced by the digital circulation of images of children and young people, as well as the kinds of labour—immaterial, affective, temporal—that those images exploit, reproduce, and transgress both hyperbolize and trouble the increasingly economized cultures of subjectivity and temporality that are experienced by children today.
