Parent/Child Dedica4on Church Bible Drill I recently was watching an episode of a crime show where a young child had been abducted, and the detec4ves thought the child had met someone online.

  • Making Sense of Gender from Digital Game Play in Three-Year-Old Children’S Everyday Lives: an Ethnographic Case Study
    JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE RESEARCH IN ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOCIOLOGY Copyright © The Author(s), 2015 Volume 6, Number 1, Summer 2015 ISSN 2068 – 0317 http://compaso.eu Making sense of gender from digital game play in three-year-old children’s everyday lives: An ethnographic case study Youn Jung Huh1 Abstract This study explores very young children performing and talking about game characters in their everyday life. In this study, young children’s digital game play is considered as a hybrid and complex site for the children to meet popular culture and their everyday family experiences. This article represents a case study of six three-year-old children and their families, which combines ethnographic methods (spending time with the families, being a participant observer) and critical perspectives analysis with Bakhtinian perspectives to construct analyses that have the potential to understand how young children make sense of their everyday roles as a boy or a girl through their game play. This study shows that young children do not directly receive ideological messages from the game media, but they make sense of the messages by decoding and interpreting the game media based on their own theories of everyday life. Keywords Gender performance, digital game, young children, everyday practice, ethnographic case study Introduction This article is a part of my dissertation that focuses on six three-year-old children playing digital games on a daily basis and their families. In this paper, I explore how very young children perform and talk about game characters in their everyday lives and how it is 1 Ph.D, Salem State University, Salem, United States of America, [email protected] 155 Journal of Comparative Research in Anthropology and Sociology, Volume 6, Number 1, Summer 2015 related to their gender identities.
