How do people of different ages experience and engage with politics
in their everyday lives, and how do these experiences and
engagements change over their life course and across different
generations? Age, life course and generation have become increasing
important experiences for understanding political participation and
political outcomes, and current policies of austerity across the
world are affecting people of all ages. This book contributes
towards an interdisciplinary understanding of the temporalities of
everyday political encounters. At a time when social science is
struggling to understand the rapid and unexpected changes to
contemporary political landscapes, the contributors to this book
present examples of activism and politics across everyday
experiences of homes, communities, online platforms, local
environment, playgrounds and educational spaces. The research takes
ethnographic, biographical and action research approaches, and the
studies described feature interlocutors as young as four and as old
as ninety-two who reside in European, North and South America, and
South Asia. This is an eclectic text that brings together a number
of themes and ideas not typically associated with political
activism, and is intended for students and academic researchers
across the humanities, social and political sciences interested in
the temporalities of everyday political participation. This book
was originally published as a special issue of Contemporary Social
Science.
