In the 21st century myriad earth systems - atmospheric systems,
ocean systems, land systems, neo-Liberal capitalism - are in
crisis. These crises are deeply related. Taking diverse and
multiple forms, they have diverse and multiple consequences and are
evidenced in such things as war, everyday violence, hate and
extremism, global flows of millions of the dispossessed and
homeless; and in the precarious, uncertain, and marginal existence
of millions more. Rethinking Young People's Marginalisation is
concerned with the experience, affect, and effects of these earth
systems crises on: * young people's life chances, life choices, and
life courses * young people's engagement with education, training,
and work * the character of young people's being and becoming,
their gendered embodiment, their participation in cultures of
democracy, their resilience, and their marginalisation. Indeed, in
setting out to rethink young people's marginalisation, this
insightful volume makes a contribution to troubling key concepts in
Youth Studies, primarily: structure and agency; transitions and
pathways; gender and embodiment, citizenship, risk, and resilience.
It does this by drawing on a variety of critical, theoretical
traditions, including Bauman's engagement with the ambivalence of
the human condition; Foucault's studies of mentalities of
government and genealogies of the subject; the critique of the
politics of disposability and violence of neo-Liberalism undertaken
by Giroux, and the authors of Kilburn Manifesto; Braidotti's
vitalist posthumanism; and Haraway's figure of the Chthulucene.
Analysing the ways in which young people engage in and develop new
cultures of democracy, Rethinking Young People's Marginalisation
will appeal to postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers
interested in fields such as Youth Studies, Youth Sociology,
Education Studies, and Critical Social Theory.
