Feminist New Materialism, Girlhood, and the School Ball (Feminist Thought in Childhood Research)

Employing a feminist new materialist approach, Toni Ingram reveals the ways in which the school ball (or prom) can be understood as an assemblage of ?things?: material objects, practices, ideas and imaginings which contribute to the process of becoming a school prom-girl. She explores how entangled human and more-than-human relations produce what we come to understand as the school prom-girl. Building on the social theory of Barad, Bennett, Best, Deleuze and Guattari, this book offers a new perspective on girls, sexuality, gender, posthumanism and childhood while also exploring the potential of feminist new materialisms for rethinking educational practices and the human subject.
