This article explores the issue of girls’ concerns about sexual activity in a liberal Nordic context. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork among young people in Denmark, the article identifies three types of concerns girls can have about sexual activity: social expectations, relational expectations and dignity. Whilst contemporary research has tended to focus on the influence different sexual morality discourses have in shaping different expectations and concerns about these, little attention seems to be paid to girls’ normative concerns about sex related to well-being. This article sheds light on how these normative concerns are related to girls’ sense of dignity based on Andrew Sayer’s work on dignity and moral sentiments. Finally, the article argues that tension between sexual morality discourses and moral sentiments may be the source of resistance that girls practise with a new ‘fuckboy’ discourse.

Dance classes were a key site for negotiating Jewish gender roles. Beyond simply training young people in proper physical deportment, dance lessons also guided them through gender, social, and class expectations, including those related to more tender emotions. Traditionally pious Jews learned to dance so that they could participate properly in weddings and other festive community celebrations. Acculturated and upwardly mobile Jews took advantage of the opportunity dance lessons offered to mingle with socially advantageous contacts. In this sense, dance lessons rehearsed the importance of balls for courtship. Even before they began seeking out marriage partners, young people learned how to behave on the dance floor and practiced appropriate behavior with their dancing partners. While Yiddish texts question whether dance lessons are compatible with proper sexual morality, German texts are concerned with the possibility of embarrassing oneself in a dance class.

ABSTRACTTelevised political spots have overwhelmed the limits of commercial advertising. A great percentage of the electorate is composed by young people, that´s why candidates and their communication and marketing strategies focus their forces to reach this sector. The proposal of this research is based on the incorporation of the gender perspective to the analysis of the political spots' reception process and the influence they have in university young women' electoral decision.RESUMENLos spots políticos televisivos han sobresaturado las barras de publicidad comercial. Un gran porcentaje del electorado está compuesto por jóvenes, por lo cual los candidatos y sus estrategas de comunicación y marketing centran sus fuerzas en llegar a este sector. La propuesta de esta investigación radica en incorporar la categoría de género al análisis del proceso de recepción de los spots políticos y la influencia que éstos ejercen en la decisión electoral de las jóvenes universitarias.

Throughout history, Sexuality Education (SE) has undergone many changes in formal education curricula. The education systems should incorporate SE and promote an understanding of sexuality from the critical perspective of gender. Objectives: To examine the approach to SE in young people in Spain and Portugal, considering the incorporation of the gender perspective, and analyze the legislation in both countries. A scoping review was conducted considering studies with SE programs, gender perspective, and legislation in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, without any time limits. The population consisted of young people aged 10 to 18 years who did not attend higher education. Databases used: CINAHL Complete, ERIC, LILACS, SciELO, MEDLINE, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Scopus, Open Access Scientific Repository of Portugal, Base de Datos de Tesis Doctorales, Theses and Dissertations Online, and governmental websites. Thirty-two studies were found, including intervention, diagnosis, and documental programs. Eight of the studies adopted the gender perspective. Legislation in both countries is vast, with 23 main references. Although SE is legislated in both countries, the social-health and educational programs are insufficient. The relevance of the gender perspective is not incorporated into SE.

Resumen. ¿Nos comunicamos de la misma manera cuando estamos físicamente presen­tes o cuando lo hacemos mediados por la tecnología? ¿Cómo nos relacionamos con las imágenes sobre nosotros y cómo nos afecta su publicación?El cuerpo como escenario y como contenido de la comunicación es el eje alrededor del cual gira este nuevo análisis comparado de los valores identificados en una investigación ex­ploratoria, en la que se ha buscado realizar una aproximación a los cambios que están teniendo lugar en las comunicaciones de los jóvenes a partir de sus propios testimonios. El análisis de contenido realizado utiliza las categorías axiológicas del modelo Hall-Tonna. Se ha procedido agrupando las respuestas de chicos/chicas, dadas a dos preguntas formuladas a estudiantes de edades comprendidas entre los 17 y los 24 años. En esta ocasión, la atención se ha centrado en analizar las experiencias relatadas desde la perspectiva de género.Las diferencias reseñables se encuentran en las respuestas a la segunda pregunta. En ellas destaca el valor de la imagen. En las chicas hay una percepción de la imagen del cuer­po como capital en lo relativo tanto a la competencia personal (presente) como profesional (futura), percepción que en ellos está ausente. En ambos casos, la segunda pregunta presenta perfiles de valores más discontinuos que en la primera, lo que indica la mayor fragilidad ex­perimentada ante la imagen del cuerpo en el medio tecnológico.Palabras clave: valores, género, comunicaciones, juventud, cuerpo, análisis de contenido.Abstract. Do we communicate in the same way when we are physically present and when we do it through technology? How do we relate to the images about us and how do their publication affect us?The body as a setting and as the content of communication is the thematic focus of this new comparative analysis, which tackles the values identified in an exploratory research. In this study, it has been attempted to make an approximation to the changes that are taking place in the communications among young people, based on their own testimonies.The content analysis carried out uses the axiological categories of the Hall-Tonna model. It has been proceeded by grouping the responses, given by young students aged between 17 and 24 years, of boys, on the one hand, and girls, on the other. The attention has focused on analysing the experiences from a gender perspective.The remarkable differences are found in the second question’s answers. In the answers provided by girls stand out the value of the image, however they have a perception of the body as of paramount importance regarding both personal (present) and professional (future) competence, meanwhile this is not present in boy’s answers. In both cases, the second ques­tion presents profiles of more discontinuous values than in the first one, which indicates the greater fragility experienced to the image of the body in the technological medium.Keywords: values, gender, communication, young people, body, content of analysis.

Christian colleges are institutions of higher education that are unique in their symbolic power and educational mission. Supporters of Christian colleges describe the important role such spaces play in advancing and protecting the faith and creating a new generation of proselytizing believers (Adrian, 2003), while church officials tout the protective value of Christian colleges against the secularizing influence of higher education and for retaining young people in their denominations (Kingsriter,2007). Central to maintaining an evangelical mission is the need to carefully prescribe and enforce standards of behavior for both students and staff. For students, such standards can include signing a “lifestyle covenant,” attending religious services, following guidelines regarding interactions with the opposite sex (e.g., “visitation hours”), alcohol restrictions, learning the theology of the host denomination, and various other standardsparticular to a given campus or denomination. Among these are norms and standards concerning sexual morality.

Young people’s self-presentations on Instagram often display considerate discourses on gender, reputation and (sexual) morality. Previous studies have explored how these discourses are embedded in cultural narratives, while overseeing the significance of visibility and visual storytelling cultures online. Using a Foucauldian Feminist approach, we explore how young people’s discourses reflect the visual performance of aesthetic and neoliberal subjectivities online. Through six groups of young people between thirteen and twenty years old, we investigate how the visibility afforded by Instagram affects the negotiations of young people on gender, reputation and sexual morality. We gave them the agency to create, narrate and reflect upon fictious social media profiles with ‘good’, ‘bad’ or ‘ideal’ self-presentations, using a discourse theoretical analysis to examine the visual artefacts, individual stories and group conversations. Our analysis shows that youth’s discourses on self-presentation are based on a dynamic relation between self-determination and self-monitoring. Ideal self-presentations are understood as self-determining performances of visual, aesthetic and neoliberal subjectivities, whereas bad self-presentations are often negotiated as self-monitoring performances regarding sexual morality.
