“…Such a discourse contributes to the marginalisation of migrant communities. For example, othering has been shown to limit opportunities in areas including education, labour participation, and building of social and cultural capital (Colic-Peisker & Tilbury, 2007;Fozdar & Hartley, 2014;Morgan & Idriss, 2012;Viruell-Fuentes, Miranda, & Abdulrahim, 2012;Wright, 2010). In addition to social and economic disadvantage resulting from these constrained opportunities, othering of migrant communities also plays an important role in health inequality.…”

“…The concept of 'social generation' can be a useful analytical framework for reading and analysing social changes (Woodman and Wyn, 2015). While we recognise the current fragmented nature of the field of youth studies (Cȏté, 2014;Woodman and Bennet, 2015;France and Threadgold, 2016), and the criticism concerning the risk of transforming the social generational paradigm emerging in youth studies into a new orthodoxy devoid of analytical precision (Morgan and Idriss, 2012;France and Roberts, 2015), we suggest that the use of social generation as a heuristic tool can help overcome a too-simplistic opposition between the 'structural' and 'cultural' perspectives (Furlong, Woodman and Wyn, 2011). To achieve this goal, it seems necessary to avoid reifying generations and considering them as homogeneous.…”

Youth and the Politics of the Present presents a range of topical sociological investigations into various aspects of the everyday practices of young adults in different European contexts. Indeed, this volume provides an original and provocative investigation of various current central issues surrounding the effects of globalization and the directions in which Western societies are steering their future. Containing a wide range of empirical and comparative examples from across Europe, this title highlights how young adults are trying to implement new forms of understanding, interpretation and action to cope with unprecedented situations; developing new forms of relationships, identifications and belonging while they experience new and unprecedented forms of inclusion and exclusion. Grounding this exploration is the suggestion that careful observations of the everyday practices of young adults can be an excellent vantage point to grasp how and in what direction the future of contemporary Western societies is heading. Offering an original and provocative investigation, Youth and the Politics of the Present will appeal to students and researchers interested in fields such as Youth Studies, Globalization Studies, Migration Studies, Gender Studies and Social Policy.

“…The impact of different understandings of the knowledge and practices necessary to negotiate Hackney today is illustrated by Wadsley and Butcher (2015) in their study on barriers to young people gaining access to employment and training opportunities in Hackney's burgeoning digital hubs (see also Morgan & Idriss, 2012). Referring to differences in cultural capital, a major issue in accessing employment opportunities in this sector for young people from marginalised backgrounds is their perceived inability to 'speak the language' of the digital workplace; to not know what to speak about nor how to comport themselves.…”

Marked by high levels of diversity and gentrification, changing demographics in east London highlight the need for new analytical tools to examine how formerly familiar spaces must now be renegotiated. Conceptual frameworks of habit and affect have informed the contemporary analysis of how encounters with difference unfold within transforming cityscapes. However, findings from a participatory research project with young people suggest a more reflexive management of classed and racialised encounters is occurring as accumulated cultural knowledge is tested and revised from which new practices emerge. Attention to processes of reflexivity highlighted the capacity of young people to consciously weigh options and choose a range of strategies under conditions of 'breach' , including: degrees of acceptance of change; re-working space use through avoidance and adapting everyday practices such as dress and food; as well as developing attributes that enable engagement such as empathy. Feelings of judgement appeared as a dominant driver of reflexivity, while disposition and place contextualised and modified responses. Yet, while the possibilities for subjective re-evaluation and adaptation are apparent, the study raises questions of inequality in the expectation that young people are being asked to adapt to new cultural norms not of their making.Retravailler la rencontre: rôle de la réflexivité dans la gestion de la différence RÉSUMÉ Marquée par une proportion élevée de diversité et de gentrification, l'évolution de la démographie à l'est de Londres fait ressortir le besoin de nouveaux outils analytiques pour examiner comment les espaces qui étaient familiers dans le passé doivent maintenant être renégociés. Les cadres conceptuels de l'habitude et de l'affect ont servi à l'analyse contemporaine de la manière dont les rencontres avec la différence se déroulent au sein de paysages urbains en transformation. Pourtant, les résultats d'un projet de recherche participative avec des jeunes suggèrent qu'il existe actuellement une gestion plus réflexive des rencontres de classes et de races au fur et à mesure qu'une connaissance culturelle accumulée est testée et révisée et à partir de laquelle émergent de nouvelles pratiques. L'attention accordée au processus de réflexivité a mis en évidence la capacité des jeunes à Reevaluando al encuentro: el papel de la reflexividad en el manejo de la diferencia RESUMENMarcada por los altos niveles de diversidad y aburguesamiento, la demografía cambiante en el este de Londres destaca la necesidad de nuevas herramientas analíticas para examinar cómo antiguamente los espacios familiares deben ahora ser renegociados. Marcos conceptuales de hábito y afecto han informado al análisis contemporáneo de cómo los encuentros con la diferencia se desarrollan dentro de paisajes urbanos en transformación. Sin embargo, los resultados de un proyecto de investigación participativa con jóvenes sugieren que una gestión más reflexiva de los encuentros clasificados y de carácter racial está ocurriendo a med...
