Fall 2019 Seminar Series

Celling Sex – Using Cellphilm methodology in critical qualitative health research

Speaker: Dr. Katie Macentee (Post-doctoral fellow, Dalla Lana School of Public Health)
Time: Tuesday, September 24, 12:00-1:30pm
Location: HS 208, 155 College Street
Abstract: Cellphilm is a participatory visual methodology that takes advantage of the ubiquity of cellphone technology. Cellphilming recognizes and values people’s everyday media practices and how they use cellphones (and other mobile technology) to consume and produce visual media via public and private mediums such as selfies, Instagram stories, vlogs, citizen journalism, subversive surveillance etc.
In this presentation I introduce cellphilm method and locate it within broader participatory visual methodological traditions and theory. Adopting and adapting cellphilms in my research with young women who trade sex in Toronto – Celling Sex – I explore how ‘ethical aesthetic’ (Mandrona, 2016) and media literacy theory inform analysis of the Celling Sex participant’s cellphilms.
