Abstract

Popular culture and media often portray school balls and proms as romantic spaces and having a date is perceived as the norm. While gender(ed) and heterosexual discourses continue to shape young people’s experiences, girls’ understandings of the school ball do not necessarily conform to dominant ideas. In this article, I draw on a new materialist ontology of sexuality to explore the relations in-between girls, dates, and the school ball. I examine ball-girl-date encounters as sexuality-assemblages comprising bodies, spatial-material arrangements, practices, and imaginings. In this frame, sexuality is conceptualized as becoming via an array of material-discursive, human, and more-than-human forces. I consider how ball-girl capacities and desires become emergent and contingent, opening up ways of thinking about girls and the school ball beyond popular cultural constructions.

(联合国)浪漫成为

流行文化和媒体经常把学校舞会和毕业舞会描绘成浪漫的空间，约会被视为常态。虽然性别(ed)和异性恋话语继续塑造着年轻人的经历，但女孩对学校舞会的理解并不一定符合主流观念。在这篇文章中，我利用一种新的唯物主义的性本体论来探索女孩、约会和学校舞会之间的关系。我把舞会女孩的约会看作是由身体、空间物质安排、实践和想象组成的性组合。在这个框架中，性被概念化为通过一系列物质-话语，人类和超越人类的力量而成为。我考虑了舞女们的能力和欲望是如何变得突现和偶然的，打开了思考女孩和学校舞会的方式，超越了流行文化的建构。
