“…Second, while our findings highlight developmental processes and perspectives, our data are cross-sectional and cannot speak to causality. In addition, we used thematic analysis to understand the visual data; visual analytic methods for body mapping are still developing and future research should codify methods for analyzing these data (Gastaldo et al, 2018;McCorquodale & DeLuca, 2020). We conducted debriefing and focus groups after each workshop, but prior research has used in-depth interviews to understand experiences with body mapping; it is thus possible that additional insights would have been garnered with the use of in-depth interviewing.…”

We describe the implementation and select findings from Adolescent X, an arts-based research project that used story circles and body mapping to elucidate how young people understand the relationship between their social contexts and their sexual and reproductive health, with a particular focus on youth’s understandings of gender, sexuality, and the body as sites of possibility and power. A community-based sample of N = 24 youth of color was recruited from the South and West Sides of Chicago to participate in 3-day workshops. In addition to story circles and body mapping, data were collected via brief surveys with N = 24 youth, debriefing groups (n = 10 youth), and focus groups (n = 14 youth). Study data consisted of (1) body map visuals, that is, legends, mini-, and full-body maps; (2) written body map narratives; and (3) audio recordings of the story circles, body mapping activities, debriefing groups, and focus groups. All audio recordings were transcribed, deidentified, and uploaded in Dedoose for qualitative thematic analysis. Data analysis was conducted by a team of independent coders. Across all sources of data, three major themes were identified: (1) strong feelings of unsafety related to how young people’s bodies are gendered, sexualized, and racialized in different social settings; (2) the extent to which adults and institutions foster youth safety; and (3) sources of young people’s coping and resilience. Implications for public health research, practice, and policy are discussed.

“…As a first step for the translation, we present the body map as a visualization tool. Body maps enable the visualization of the felt experiences when written or spoken language is not sufficient to reveal the intangible aspects of felt experiences (Gastaldo et al, 2018). It is not new to use body maps; however, often the same abstracted body images are used.…”

A través del estudio de caso de un diseño, examinamos cómo la conciencia somaestética se ve amplificada por la intermediación de perturbaciones corporales y el cultivo de una transición desde una perspectiva de primera persona a una de segunda persona. El artículo se centra en el aspecto menos explorado del diseño somático: la mediación de experiencias perturbadoras que interrumpen el flujo cotidiano, en este caso, la experiencia de dolor. El proceso de diseño ilustró una transición entre las perspectivas de primera y segunda persona para cultivar y externalizar la experiencia con el dolor en la forma de una interacción corporal vestible. La experiencia del dolor externalizado se tradujo en un dispositivo vestible interactivo, “Squeaky/Pain”, que aumenta la conciencia somaestética del usuario a través de sensaciones sonoras, táctiles y cinestésicas. Este artículo hace dos contribuciones principales al diseño somático: introduce las implicaciones de las experiencias perturbadoras a la hora de aumentar la conciencia somaestética y ejemplifica de qué manera las perturbaciones corporales internas pueden materializarse mediante el cultivo de perspectivas en primera y segunda persona.

“…A body map is a graphical outline of a human body and is used to express and document tacit somatic experiences, which can be hard to describe in words only [5]. They also hold a generative power in design processes [2].…”
