Book excerpt: This thesis explores how babies (1-18 months old) engage with material things in their everyday lives. The aim is to contribute with theoretical and empirical insights into babies own practices around material things and how attending to these practices can lead to reflections on participation, material culture and everyday space. The empirical material is collected through video ethnographic fieldwork in the homes of seven babies and their families. The empirical material has been analysed through combining cultural analysis with the analytical approach ‘thinking with theory’. The thesis shows that sensoriality and movement is important for understanding babies own engagements with things and that these engagements are not limited to things given to, or intended for, them. Babies also shape the everyday spaces of the families through their movements of things in their homes. The analyses also show that focusing on sensoriality and movement in the meeting between babies and the researcher is a promising contribution to discussions concerning participatory research and ethnographic method. The thesis is theoretically situated within the field of child- and childhood studies. Avhandlingens syfte är att undersöka hur bebisar (1-18 månader) använder sig av materiella saker i deras vardagsliv. Syftet är att bidra med empirisk och teoretisk kunskap om bebisars egna praktiker samt hur ett fokus på bebisars egna intressen kan leda till reflektioner kring barns deltagande, materiell kultur och platsskapande i bebisars hem. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genom videoetnografiskt fältarbete hemma hos sju bebisar och deras familjer. Materialet har analyserats med hjälp av en kombination av kulturanalys och genom att ’tänka med’ teori om rörelse. Avhandlingen visar att fokus på sensorialitet och rörelse är viktigt för att förstå vad bebisar gör med saker och att bebisars användande av saker inte är begränsat till leksaker eller andra saker avsedda för dom. Bebisar påverkar även hur hemmet är organiserat, till exempel, genom att flytta runt och sprida ut saker i hemmet. Analyserna pekar även på att ett fokus på sensorialitet och rörelse i mötet mellan bebisar och forskare är lovande för att undersöka frågor rörande etnografisk metod och deltagande. Avhandlingen är teoretiskt förankrad i barn – och barndomstudier.
