“…This interpretation acknowledges also children's potential for political agency as family members, which arises in engagements and struggles that affect the geographies of their homes (Bosco, 2010;Bartos, 2012;Mashall, 2013;Aitken, 2014).…”

“…Marshall (2013) suggests affectivity as one key aspect in analyzing these engagements (also Dyck, 2005;Muños González, 2005), and Bartos (2012Bartos ( , 2013 points to the significance of enmeshed intergenerational and peer relations (also Vanderbeck, 2007;Bosco, 2010;Bunnell et al 2012;Kallio, 2014b). In my study I have found both insights relevant, which becomes apparent in the following analysis where I have selected the case of Milla as being illustrative of the particularity of familial subjectivity and spatial attachments.…”

“…The interdisciplinary discussions on children's politics have thus far paid more attention to political being (e.g. Kjørholt, 2002;Bosco, 2010;Marshall, 2015). This emphasis follows from the dominant childhood studies paradigm that for the past couple of decades has strongly emphasised children's agency in the present (for thorough discussions, see Uprichard, 2008;Strandell, 2010).…”

Shaping subjects in everyday encounters: Intergenerational recognition in intersubjective socialisation

Abstract:This article considers the role of intergenerational recognition in processes of subject formation and political development. It leans on a broad conception of politics, following a phenomenologically oriented approach and drawing from theories of contextual recognition. Intergenerational recognition is introduced as a key dynamism and practice in intersubjective socialisation, unfolding in everyday environments among 'significant others'. In these encounters, people take shape and are shaped as political subjects.Empirically, the paper is based on research with 129 eleven-to fifteen-year-old girls and boys, including an analysis of their place-based biographies. By introducing different forms of intergenerational (mis)recognition, it shows how the formation of political subjects takes place in the most mundane environments where children and young people lead their lives. In conclusion, the paper suggests that 'political becoming' deserves increasing attention in critical research and intergenerational recognition ought to be better identified as a social practice. Whether intentional or intuitive, the ways in which adults regard children and young people has both harmful and beneficial effects on the formation of their political subjectivities.

“…Other examples of this trend where political geographical ideas are employed in challenging normative notions of citizenship and political agency are respective articles by Fernando Bosco (2010) and Sarah Elwood and Katharyne Mitchell (forthcoming), discussing children's political agency and practice. These papers' explicit agenda is not to reformulate the concept of citizenship but to provide new approaches to thinking about political agency by introducing children's political practices in their mundane intergenerational relations.…”

Political Presence and the Politics of Noise

The paper is inspired by the recent turn taking place at the intersection of critical citizenship studies and political geography where the meanings of political agency are being contested and re-imagined. As one major theme, this discussion involves the identification of political agency in the practice of everyday life. To introduce a new analytical approach into this line of research, the paper discusses political presence with reference to Jacques Rancière's conceptualisation of politics. By linking his thought with present spatially grounded debates on citizenship and political agency, I consider how politics of noise can be identified from young people's everyday encounters with their political communities.
