Current political and social changes such as Velvet revolution in Armenia, ”Rave Revolution” and Gavrilov demonstrations in Georgia or earlier movements of Arab-Spring and Gezi-Park protests in Turkey were perceived as youth movements. The study of young people has been widely discussed and addressed by various disciplines being anthropology, psychology, sociology or history for over a century (Hall 1904, Mead 1928, Parsons 1942, etc.). The respective topics address most of all education and the youth policy (Roudometof 2019, Hahn-Bleibtreu 2012), subcultures (D. Buckingham et al. 2014) and more recently its link to ”the global condition” (Cicchelli 2019).
A growing body of work in youth movements is concerned with the youth political behavior and the engagement in political processes (Diuk 2012, Roberts 2013), the features of mass mobilization and strategies of youth during movements (Hess and Martin 2006), potential allies and ”enemies” of youth movements and their political-social background (Nikolayenko 2015)
On the bases of existing researches in youth movements, we intend to focus on ideas and values, embodied in diverse and often contradicting movements in, (related to ecology, social justice, LGBTI rights, religious fundamentalism, nationalism, racism, etc.) and expressed in different performative acts (demonstrations, music, style, behavior, etc.) driven by youth.
The questions we will ask are:
• What do we call Youth movements?
• Which impact do Youth movements have in shaping a region/social spaces in general?
• What social impact do youth cultures have in the respectively regions? |
