There has been an increased political interest in the status and promotion of digital literacy education in Germany and Europe in the last decade, along with calls for broader reforms of ‘media’ literacy programs in schools and the educational sector. The most obvious place to start understanding the broader social context in which these calls for reform for digital literacy in Germany took hold is probably the widespread concern about the state of information consumption and the social climate online. Alarming stories about ‘fake news’ and ‘digital propaganda’ have become a regular feature of media stories. Many media and political reports not only from Ger-many, but also the US linked this development to failed approaches in media literacy programs. In Germany, the widespread rise of online hate in German-speaking social media platforms added concern. My contribution brings into focus the visions, forms and understandings of (digital) empowerment media educators and experts promote in young people’s digital literacy education. How does ‚digital literacy’ in a post factual world look like? Drawing on ethnographic research in digital literacy initiatives and workshops, I analyse how their members appropriate a sovereign and safe Internet use.

By looking at these ‘formal learning contexts’, I am interested in how these experts are mapping out the opportunities for empowerment and the chances of harm – related to the children’s own social and cultural online worlds, – in their work.

There are typological parallels with funeral lamentations, the traditional rural folklore, existing from X century till nowadays (in some regions). All the objects, mentioned there, exist in forms with diminutives or other linguistic features with meaning “lit-tle-sweet”. The deceased and death are usually named with metaphorical substitutions, and if the death is mentioned directly it is called “the little-sweet death” or “the

Invasive species are plants or animals introduced to areas outside their original range, often through human care. The last decades, the concept have attracted much attention from authorities, natural sciences, media and individuals. The discourse revolve around notions of threat, belonging, control, national/local heritage, and human responsibility toward nature in a changing world.

The lupine (also known as lupinus or lupine) is categorised as an invasive species in

th century as a garden plant, but have made a conceptual trajectory. What was then a beautiful and

This paper focuses the municipality of Dalarna (Dalecarlia), where the authorities have meetings, the municipal describes lupines as dangerous intruders, which out-conquer other plants, threat the natural heritage, and spoil the traditional cultural environment. A

Applying the concept of assemblage, the (new) status of the lupine as a dangerous and ugly feature in the landscape stand forward as an (possible) effect of relations between species, other objects, emotions and different spirits of time.

Genus/kön spelar roll i olika tider, på olika platser, i olika sociala och kul-turella sammanhang. Frågan är hur och på vilket sätt. I denna session välkomnar vi föredrag som på olika sätt tar upp genus och intersektionella aspekter. I linje med kon-gressens övergripande tema fokuseras här hur och på vad sätt genus har för innebörd och form – och på hur betydelse och materialitet är könade. Här ryms bidrag som har historisk ansats likaväl som bidrag med samtidsfokus. Den gemensamma nämnaren är att genus/kön spelar roll.

Gender matters in time, in space and is socially structured. The question is how and in what ways. In this session we welcome papers on the topic of gender in all it’s possible intersections. In line with the conference title a special focus is upon how gender mat-ters and how matter is gendered.

I mitt avhandlingsarbete undersöker jag Starlet, en svensk tidning som publicerades 1966-96. Tidningen innehöll serier, redaktionellt material samt texter in-skickade av läsarna och den talade därför till unga samtidigt som ungdomarna själva hade möjlighet att kommunicera sinsemellan. Under 30 år var Starlet med andra ord ett slags ungdomsforum i det pre-internetska Sverige, och när man idag talar om den får den ofta stämpeln av en tjejtidning. Men vem vände sig Starlet till, och vem läste den egentligen? I tidningens innehåll syns att kvinnliga läsare var i majoritet, men det framkommer att även manliga läsare fanns, och inte sällan försökte redaktionen hålla sig könsneutral i sina framföranden. I mitt paper ämnar jag diskutera tidningens tilltal och beskrivning av ungdomar och hur de talade till respektive om killar och tjejer, detta utifrån nedslag i serierna och de inskickade läsartexterna samt brevvänsannonser, men också utifrån tävlingar, tester och meddelanden från redaktionen. Vem är de olika typerna av innehåll riktat till, och vem kommer till tals i materialet? Och framför allt: vad var det att vara en ung tjej respektive kille enligt den vuxna redaktionen och läsarna själva.

Economic migration and immigration to the permanent residence of “ordi-nary people” rarely appear in the form of a story for exhibitions in historical museums, with the exception of specialized museums on migration, although it is precisely such migrations that made urbanization possible. Illustrating social changes on the basis of changing strategies of behavior in society, it is impossible to ignore cultural differences brought to cities by labor migrants.

Labor migration, as a rule, is poorly represented in Russian historical museums, and it is not yet about understanding its real historical role. The phenomenon of labor

migra-tion, as it seems, should be linked not only with the places of exodus of labor migrants, but also with the places of their temporary stay.

In her essay, ”House and home” Iris Marion Young (2005) calls for a femi-nist re-appraisal of home, highlighting the ambivalence the private sphere has rendered (not the least) in feminist tradition. Drawing on Heidegger´s thoughts on living as constituted by building and preservation (where the former has been coded masculine and the latter feminine), Young wants to investigate the critical values of home through practices of preservation. Her project seeks to upgrade the work that has been marked as reproductive, emphasizing the creativity in sorting, arranging, preserving and taking

-tices aiming at ”guard the things of the past and keep them in store” (s 141). In this paper, I follow Young´s call, looking closer at people´s experiences of everyday clean-ing. Through ethnographic data primarily based on interviews and observations I will investigate the possible (historically imbedded) meanings tied to practices of tidying
