Young people are regularly cast as a threat to social order.
Deconstructing Youth argues that this is due in part to the way the
notion of youth is conceptualised in Western society. Drawing on
Derridean deconstruction, Gabriel analyses the limits of dominant
youth discourses, revealing the ways in which common sense
assumptions about young people are marked by contradictory
expectations that actually function to create youth as a 'problem'.
With case studies on youth sexuality, violence and developmental
neuroscience, she details how these contradictions go unrecognised
in attempts to make sense of young people's identities and actions.
Gabriel argues that this leads to the misattribution of blame to
young people who are then taken to operate outside the boundaries
of acceptable conduct. In response, she considers what a
deconstructive approach has to offer in terms of moving beyond
these conceptual limits and in opening up to more enabling
possibilities for understanding youth.
