The document discusses the concept of "third space" learning. Third space refers to hybrid spaces that blend elements of home and school cultures and literacies. It involves learning through vernacular practices in informal, networked spaces outside strict school environments. The third space allows for inclusion and bridging between different knowledge domains and rejection of binaries between categories like public and private, physical and virtual. While schools control formal learning spaces, third space learning involves more tactical appropriation of space by learners and everyday resistance to imposed structures.

- 2. Third space The idea of third space comes from hybridity theory (Homi Bhabha), which refers to to mixture, posits that people draw on multiple resources or funds to make a sense of the world and constitute their identity. Originally hybridity is a cross between two separate cultures: not diversity but hybridity Cultural hybridity is a in-between place, which brings together contradictory knowledges, practices, and discourses: signs can be appropriated, translated, rehistoricized, and read anew (c.f. remixing culture)

- 8. Tactics Although, for example, the school space is controlled, it is not absolutely dominated. As Ian Buchanan (1993, para. 21) wrote, controlled space is “reactive rather than active. It is subject to appropriation: its disciplined/dominated spaces... can always be made smooth by their occupants by the act of occupancy itself.” This “occupancy” is tactic. De Certeau (1984) spoke about everyday resistance, in which people undermine imposed power relations.! Kupiainen, R. 2013, Media and Digital Literacies in Secondary School, p. 21
