Media Literacy as Resilience
Throughout the years, media literacy has been considered an aid for many societal ills in the Western world: from fighting against stereotypical representations of different (marginalized) groups to combating mis- and disinformation. However, these educational initiatives build upon a Western view of the world, and do not take into account issues faced by societies in permanent crisis. The aim of this article is to propose a conceptual framework …
We Often Say We Lost Our Childhood, but I Think It Gave Us a Lot More than It Took Away’
Youth activism has gained considerable attention in recent years, partly due to the global climate movements. Central to these movements are digital platforms, as the online and offline spheres become increasingly intertwined. To better understand youth activism and the complex interplay between the online and physical realms, we conducted an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), focusing on youth climate activists in Hungary and Czechi…
If I weren’t an activist, I’d buy an old Nokia and I’d be OK”
For youth activists, digital media are a central tool for awareness raising and mobilisation. At the same time, the pressure to be constantly connected and the negative responses one can encounter through social media, can be significant stressors on youths’ wellbeing. Drawing upon a year-long critical comparative ethnographic research project with Fridays For Future youth climate justice activists in Czechia and Hungary, this paper analyses the …
Divide, dialogue and dedication
‘Daddy should search for help on Google instead of swearing … ’
Affectively charged social media exchanges pertaining to remote schooling in Hungary during the early stages of the pandemic provided unique insights into dispositions towards technologically mediated learning. In this article, we explore how parents and teachers responded to the increased porosity, mobility, and visibility of classroom interactions during pandemic-related school closures. We wanted to know what emotive responses to the intensifi…
Soros’s soldiers, slackers, and pioneers with no expertise? Discursive exclusion of environmental youth activists from the digital public sphere in Hungary and Czechia
Our paper fills the gap in research on online public representations of politically active youth by focusing on the discursive representations of Fridays for Future, a youth-led climate movement, in user generated content in Czechia and Hungary. By employing the childism approach, we aim to contribute to a better understanding of the exclusion of youth from the public sphere. Our qualitative analysis identified two exclusionary strategies: 1) nor…
Embodied technology use
For unaccompanied refugee youth, technology occupies a central role in their lives. It helps them when crossing countries, finding a shelter, and accessing education, or even in negotiating family relations online (e.g., Çelikaksoy & Wadensjö, 2017; Marlowe & Bruns, 2020; Morrice et al., 2020). Research with young refugees shows that social media and smart devices have become essential means to resolve many challenges (Kutscher & Kreß, 2018). The…
Childhoods in transition
This editorial serves as an introduction to the Special Issue titled ‘Childhoods in Transition – Mediating “In-Between Spaces”’. The thematic issue was conceived in an effort to conceptualize and explore the topic of ‘in-between spaces’ from the point of view of media and communication studies. The contributions presented in this Special Issue offer a complex view of what it means today to live a childhood in transition and how digital and social…
Emotional practices of unaccompanied refugee youth on social media
Migration for unaccompanied refugee youth is an emotionally complex process involving mediated experiences and expressions of emotions and affect. This article draws upon social media ethnography conducted with young refugees from African and Middle Eastern countries living in Europe. The participants’ emotional practices were explored through the multimodal analysis of content they shared on Facebook. The findings highlight how the young refugee…
Board Games as Interview Tools
Since the emergence of the new sociology of childhood in the late 1980s, there has been an increasing expectation to engage children actively and to take their views seriously throughout the research process. This is even more important when it comes to unaccompanied refugee children, whose voice is seldom heard. In this article the author builds upon her project of exploring unaccompanied refugee children’s lived media experiences and argues tha…
