Queering the Youthful "Cyberflaneur"
Rasmussen, Mary Lou; Kenway, Jane
Journal of Gay & Lesbian Issues in Education, v2 n1 p47-63 2004
This article explores ways of queering the youthful cyberflaneur, using the television series "Queer as Folk" as the touchstone for such explorations. The concept of the youthful cyberflaneur, as developed by Kenway and Bullen, links power, pleasure, and consumer politics to pedagogy. However, it has been criticised for its heterosexist register. Here, the authors seek to attend to this criticism and enhance the pedagogical potential of this concept by drawing on the work of Rasmussen who introduces discourses of pleasure and sexuality into debates around pedagogy. The queer youthful cyberflaneur not only attends to the centrality of sexuality in young people's lives but also to some of the links between consumer culture, sexuality, and globalisation. (Contains 5 notes.)
