Currently, in many Western societies, young people are often depicted as ‘lacking’. Most media, political discourses and social research tend to describe them as characterized by uncertainty—towards the future, personal relationships and professional tracks (Bauman, 1995; Beck, 1992; Means, 2015), disinterest—towards politics and public life (Jowell & Park, 1998; Kimberlee, 1998; Macedo, Alex-Assenhoh, & Berry, 2005; Putnam, 2000) and resignation—accepting the status quo without striking forms of protest, dissent or rebellion (Arthur & Davies, 2008; Beaumont, 2010; Harris, Wyn, & Youness, 2010; Levine, 2007).

Abstract

Currently, in many Western societies, young people are often depicted as ‘lacking’. Most media, political discourses and social research tend to describe them as characterized by uncertainty—towards the future, personal relationships and professional tracks (Bauman, 1995; Beck, 1992; Means, 2015), disinterest—towards politics and public life (Jowell & Park, 1998; Kimberlee, 1998; Macedo, Alex-Assenhoh, & Berry, 2005; Putnam, 2000) and resignation—accepting the status quo without striking forms of protest, dissent or rebellion (Arthur & Davies, 2008; Beaumont, 2010; Harris, Wyn, & Youness, 2010; Levine, 2007).
