The article deals with information sovereignty. A review of the current legislation, which refers to in-formation sovereignty and analyzes key legislative initiatives that have tried to solve complex problems (in particular – two of the Draft Law of Ukraine "On information sovereignty and information security of Ukraine"). It is shown that the legislator after a number of attempts to solve this problem in the early and mid 90s of the 20th century almost completely stopped them by the early 2000s. Moreover, the Law of Ukraine "On in-formation" in 2011 the concept of "information sovereignty" was removed completely. While it is still in the Law of Ukraine "On the National Informatization Program", although only in the definitions section, but no-where in the text of the law is not decrypted. Despite all attempts to develop specialized laws in the late 90's attempts were not crowned with complete success, and the two trained in 1997 and 1998. Bills not fully reflect the essence of the problem and contained contradictory. For example, they used information sovereignty exclusively to the national information policy, and she was treated as a sphere (volume space), which carried out the information processes and the jurisdiction of Ukraine. Characteristic of all the documents is expressive tendency to focus on the humanitarian component, reducing information sovereignty exclusively to work with content. It is noteworthy that all the draft Law of Ukraine "About the information sovereignty" in the lists of relevant legislation is remembered, for example, the Law of Ukraine "On the scientific technical information" or any other that relate to science (scientific and technical) of the sphere.Attention is paid to the fact that in the context of significant growth in the role of information technology in society this aspect should be given special attention. This task has become particularly urgent after E. Snowden statements about the activities of NSA. Already, this leads to the need for experts to formulate the basic idea of how information sovereignty "do the information space a "black hole" for the NSA". That's how this question looks Russian IT expert I. Ashmanov. He also proposes to construct a two-component model of information sovereignty: electronic billboard and information board. In the context of the problem indicated in the article the author proposed his own definition of information sovereignty under which should be understood as "a set of organizational, legal, military and foreign policy measures aimed at ensuring the integrity of the national information space, the national information infrastructure and technological security of Ukraine, which is carried out in for the rights and freedoms of Ukrainian citizens, society and the state". In this definition, "rocess Safety" is understood as "the introduction of new technologies, techno-logical advances, that this level of national scientific – technical and production potential, which in the case of deterioration of the internal and external conditions would ensure the survival of the national economy through the use of their own intellectual and technological resources, to preserve the independence of the state".The article highlights those key elements that must be provided in a state that is going to build an effective information sovereignty. These elements include: providing real innovation potential and its ability to self- creation (from idea to realization) of modern technology, the creation of (or to stimulate the creation of) national IT TNK; increase military kiberpotentsiala State; proactive foreign policy stance on key issues of In-formation Development; focus on developing their own content and technological infrastructure.Also in the article notes that the crucial aspect in the formation of a coherent vision of the information should be its sovereignty primarily positive imperative. In today's world prohibiting various models are increasingly faced with its inefficiency, changing in the direction of "monitoring" or "positive". Furthermore, mainly prohibiting activities actually reduce the overall efficiency of providing information sovereignty as negatively affect the activity of all the key players in this area (as government agencies, but especially business and citizens). Accordingly, the items on the basis of which tried in the mid-90s to form approach to in-formation in Ukraine 's sovereignty should be fully revised.

In this paper a case is made for the necessity of an inter-disciplinary treatment of the migration phenomenon. The paper addresses the relation between migration and security from a reconciliatory perspective after a brief analysis of the migration-security nexus and how migration got securitised. Based on the Foucauldian notion of biopolitics, one can argue that what contributes heavily to the securitisation of migration is the emergence of biopower and biopolitics which are primarily concerned with the control over lives of the population within a given territory. This makes states and societies consider migration as a matter that should be under control, since it is related to the hygiene of the population and nationals of a given state. I, therefore, discuss the EU and other European countries’ policies regarding migration and how biopolitics have influenced securitising the EU’s migration policies. The main argument is that migration can, and should, be treated as an advantage rather than a threat, though it does not deny the security concerns that alway accompany such social phenomenon. The impact of culture and history on migration policies, and how identity politics shape a given country’s policies are discussed. Perceiving migration as either a threat or an opportunity, the way in which a country perceives migrants shapes its migration policies, whether restrictive or multiculturally-tolerant.

For a man who sometimes liked to present himself as a simple mariner, Joseph Conrad had a remarkably subtle understanding of simplicity. At the same time, his vast experience and understanding of the world through his travels as a mariner helped him write on complex issues like nationhood, migration and identity – topics which today seem particularly relevant.

How can contemporary representations of war be reflected from a gendered and sexualized perspective? I intend to enter the visual and discursive field of war through the narratives/images of sexualized violence and especially their artistic reconfigurations. My starting point is the assumption that sexual violence is currently constructed as a field of trauma. This construction happens mainly through the claim of (especially visual) unrepresentability and the unbearable confrontation with the entanglement of sexuality and violence. It generally neglects narratives of survivors who indeed very often find a way to describe, narrate and represent their experience. Searching for a queer and feminist response to current representations of sexualized violence in times of war by means of art the text attempts to activate Sanja Ivekovic’s techniques of looking and imagining. I suggest reinterpreting the images of the contemporary fashion industry (like Sanja Ivekovic did) and their explicit connection to images of war distributed in the media, as empowering re-stagings of sexualized violence. With this proposition I intend to challenge the viewer to imagine additional layers of image in order to insert a queer practice of looking, and reopen the position of the viewer to ethical responsiveness. For that purpose, I examine Steven Meisel’s iconography of images of war in fashion photography through their atmosphere of futurism or science fiction. As a consequence, I examine the potentiality of a different future past (future anterior) as a crucial temporality of both photography and queer S/M practices, which reflect back on historical events and painful experiences. The last part of the text examines my own artwork, the photo installation “Future Anterior –Illustrations of War” in which I insert short texts based on future anterior into fragments of Steven Meisel’s photographs.

This article examines the intersections between craft activism and social identity formation, focusing specifically on yarn bombing. Globally, women and men are taking up their knitting needles and crochet hooks to make political, social, cultural, aesthetic, and artistic statements. Through this practice, crafters build personal, social, and political identities. Drawing on theories of social, relational, and embodied identity, I examine four case studies of recent protests conducted by yarn bombers. Through a feminist lens, I offer conclusions about the complex intersection between making and social identity formations as well as offer a contingent explanation for the resurgence of crafting now and the paradigm shift in activism through craft.
