- Given the proliferation of support technology for men entering parenthood invirtual forums this project’s aim was to explore a virtual forum exclusively forfathers and elaborate on gendered questions for men’s parenthood within thatmilieu. An archival forum study was undertaken using principles for nethnography.The categories presented in the results overall indicate that the onlinevenue creates a privileged invisibility from experiences in “real life” genderrelations. This suggests that both horizontal and vertical homo-social dimensionsare present in the forum support/negotiations which occur among theforum posters, whereby issues of invisibility and entitlement in some casestake a central position. We suggest that being virtual invisible men entails participationin both a marketplace of opinions and a homo-social competition.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- It is clearly difficult to summarize the situation and state of research on men, masculinities and cultural formations in Europe. There are of course broad patterns, but it should be strongly emphasized that the social and cultural contexts of research in different European countries are very varied indeed. With this caveat strongly in mind, this article seeks to describe some of the main contours of critical research on men in Europe, without essentializing them or creating some mythical notion of "European-ness".

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Dissecting the iconic image of the male firefighter this article offers an understanding of how housing preferences and instrumental use are componential to the professional identity of retired firefighters. Drawing on an ethnographic account at a fire station in Luleå, a small town in the Northern parts of Sweden, the intention is to show how retired firefighters performed masculinity, not through embodied viability, but through housing preferences and instrumental use. Distancing themselves from the residential areas and the instrumental management of their professional heirs, the retired firefighters were thus able to retain their status, despite the fact that they were no longer active as firefighters. Exploring the masculine enactments of the retired firefighters, this article seeks to highlight the dynamic of change within the fire service. In doing so, the intention is to provide a deeper understanding of the temporary constructions of masculine values and ideals that pervade this organization.
