“…agents by definition (on ANT, see e.g. Serres & Latour 1995;Law 2002;Koch 2005;Haldrup & Larsen 2006;Häkli 2008). This is to say that, on the one hand, the games played are chosen and used according to one's personal preferences but, on the other hand, the games themselves direct the habits of gaming, thus creating and reproducing certain kinds of gaming mentalities (cf.…”

Do digital games and play mean the same things for different people? This article presents the results of a three-year study in which we sought for new ways to approach digital games cultures and playing practices. First, we present the research process in brief and emphasise the importance of merging different kinds of methods and materials in the study of games cultures. Second, we introduce a gaming mentality heuristics that is not dedicated to a certain domain or genre of games, addressing light casual and light social gaming motivations as well as more dedicated ones in a joint framework. Our analysis reveals that, in contrast to common belief, the majority of digital gaming takes place between 'casual relaxing' and 'committed entertaining', where the multiplicity of experiences, feelings, and understandings that people have about their playing and digital games is wide-ranging. Digital gaming is thus found to be a multi-faceted social and cultural phenomenon which can be understood, practiced and used in various ways.

In this paper, I set out to bring early political development back to the research agenda in childhood studies as well as to the social scientific inquiry more generally. Proposing a geographical approach, I seek to develop the concept of spatial socialization as a dynamic and relational process through which political becoming takes place. Contrary to conventional conceptions, I present children as participants rather than as recipients of socialization--active agents in their everyday environments alongside their adult authorities, institutions, the media, and their communities as a whole. Moreover, drawing from phenomenological theorizations of subjectivity, politics and space, the employed approach problematizes the worlds in which political socialization takes place. I argue that the dynamic processes of socialization constitute the spatial realities where children and youth lead their as much as they constitute the youthful subjects they involve.
