The authors collected here address youth street cultures in
different cities from the Ibero-American world, bringing together
contributions on Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Portugal, Spain,
and beyond. This overseas approach bridging the European and
American contexts is justified by the range of (complex) social,
cultural and economic relationships that have shaped this
transnational geographical space since the beginning of the
colonial period. The chapters collected here focus on three key
concepts-creativity, resistance and transgression-that form a
threefold dispositive to locally and globally confront, contest and
even fight against the hegemonic, punitive and oppressive powers
(re)produced by (white, male) dominant classes of the city. The
book ensures a high diversity of geographical and social/cultural
research contexts by focusing on one, two or multiple spatial
contexts (the public space, the street, the city) and, at the same
time, by emphasizing the different economic, social, cultural,
symbolic specificities of youth cultures (including gender,
sexuality and race) in their particular urban contexts.
While the night has long been associated with crime and fear, over
recent decades 'nightlife' has become increasingly associated with
the creative economy, tourism, sociability, job growth, and urban
regeneration. Debates about anti-social behaviour, morality, and
safety continue to shape our understanding of the night but newer
concerns have also emerged about gentrification, economic and
social exclusion, commercialisation, and over-development.
Exploring Nightlife: Space, Society and Governance is the first
edited volume that critically examines nightlife from a
cross-disciplinary and international perspective. Comprising
original contemporary research, the collection brings together case
studies from across the globe that explore topics including
nightlife and urban development, race, gender and youth culture,
alcohol and drug use, and urban renewal. In doing so, each chapter
explores nightlife in relation to local and global structures of
power and governance. Exploring Nightlife is an ideal introduction
to the emerging field of night-time studies and will be a valuable
resource for students and researchers with an interest in
geography, cultural studies, sociology, youth, leisure, and urban
studies.
