Adrienne Shaw: Gaming at the Edge [Audio interview]
No full textConcepts like identity, identification, and representation are thrown around pretty loosely when people try to explain the influence of popular media on individuals and groups. Categories like race, gender, sexuality, and class are widely recognized, broadly applicable and, because of this, they are often invoked as a substitute for more nuanced thinking about how individuals relate to media, whether TV, film, or digital games.
Do gay men like particular TV shows because they include gay characters?
Are women more likely to watch football now that there are (a few) female commentators?
Why would women play violent, misogynistic video games?
In Gaming at the Edge: Sexuality and Gender at the Margins of Gamer Culture (University of Minnesota Press, 2014), Adrienne Shaw complicates this approach by studying “representation in a way that takes into account the fluidity, performativity, and contextuality of identity categories.” In a series of interviews with individuals from marginalized groups, Shaw, an avid digital game player herself, attempts to situate game playing within the overall lived experiences of her subjects. Through this indirect approach, she hoped to gain a better understanding of how, when, and why representation mattered. One of her main goals in writing this book is to help change the way academic and business researchers study identity, identification, and representation.

Urban Origins at BAD
No full textResearch Background: This series of works was commissioned by Museum of Brisbane to be featured in the Brisbane Art and Design 2019. BAD at MoB 'celebrated the junctures between art, design and technology'. The commission recognised the creative significance and cultural relevance to Brisbane of Shaw’s research. The MoB BAD curatorial team identified Shaw as a leading practitioner to create new works to contribute to the creative narrative of Brisbane. The works continue Shaw's conscious investigations into the significance of jewellery and objects as sociological and cultural markers.
Research Contribution: Shaw created a body of work that contribute to contemporary research interests and analysis of the urban mining and materials sourcing within the field of contemporary jewellery. The series of works each started with a found 'useless' object. These are things that once were useful, once had a purpose but have lost their value and use through breakage or damage. Most were found while walking or digging a garden. Each of the found 'useless' objects is a material trace of the people who once used and presumably valued it. Shaw has reconsidered and constructed a new purpose for each item in a way that both highlights them and saves them from obliteration. These works interrogate what we value.
Research Significance: The commission of this series by the Museum of Brisbane to feature in BAD 2019 was recognition of the role that Shaw plays within the Brisbane Art scene. The pieces were exhibited in a large vitrine in the Museum install that featured works commissioned from other leading Brisbane Creatives. Shaw was the only jeweller/metalsmith featured in this significant Museum exhibition. BAD at MoB was the feature exhibition of the BAD 2019 festival. As a result the exhibition had impressively high visitation.No Full Tex
