might be called bullying events where girls are sexually shamed.
Below we continue to explore how our analysis of bullying
shifts through consideration of the material-discursive intraactions
and apparatuses of skirts and other material agents like
hair.
Sluts and Lesbians: The discursive and material intraactions
of Skirts, Hair, and Makeup
In addition to bullying research, youth studies have explored the
power of clothing and uniform to enforce school rules 129 and
Girlhood Studies scholars have pointed to historical and
cultural contexts of sartorial control over girls and women’s
bodies 130 . But we wish to put a Baradian, materialist spin on
this, suggesting skirts exist as the ultimate material objects that
can be stylised, read and embedded with meanings for girls in
schools 131 .
In the UK context of the uniform and the compulsory wearing
of skirts, this wearing takes on new aspects of control enacted
through the force of the skirt to indicate appropriate attire, and
the possibility of attending and inhabiting school space. For
many girls, the wearing of skirts as uniform is a school and
social requirement; an object of academic-social and gendered
legitimisation. Indeed, there is no choice for girls in many
school settings but to operate within the relations of power that
the skirt dictates, with the power to read sexual intentionality
onto girls:
