Abstract

Based on the preliminary results of an ongoing research project focused on the social and cultural practices of young people in physical and virtual public spaces across four urban areas in Switzerland, this article explores the everyday spatial behavior of youth who hang out in Zurich’s public spaces. It highlights how everyday activities provide these young people with a means of coming to terms with the inclusive and exclusive potential of the urban public spaces they appropriate and how, in turn, they adopt spatial practices that can prove more or less inclusive. Some of these practices may be provocative or even subversive; and whereas others are more discreet (sometimes involving unconscious behavior or passing unnoticed), we argue that they are no less political. The subtle ways in which young people progressively take their place in the city could best be described as “micropolitical.”
苏黎世公共空间中的年轻人:闲逛是城市中的一种独特方式
基于一个正在进行的研究项目的初步结果,该项目专注于瑞士四个城市地区年轻人在物理和虚拟公共空间中的社会和文化实践,本文探讨了在苏黎世公共空间闲逛的年轻人的日常空间行为。它强调了日常活动如何为这些年轻人提供一种方式,让他们接受他们所适合的城市公共空间的包容性和排他性潜力,以及反过来,他们如何采用或多或少具有包容性的空间实践。其中一些做法可能具有挑衅性甚至颠覆性;而其他人则更谨慎(有时涉及无意识的行为或不被注意到),我们认为他们的政治性也不亚于此。年轻人在城市中逐渐占据一席之地的微妙方式最好用“微观政治”来形容

期刊介绍: Social Inclusion is a peer-reviewed open access journal, which provides academics and policy-makers with a forum to discuss and promote a more socially inclusive society. The journal encourages researchers to publish their results on topics concerning social and cultural cohesiveness, marginalized social groups, social stratification, minority-majority interaction, cultural diversity, national identity, and core-periphery relations, while making significant contributions to the understanding and enhancement of social inclusion worldwide. Social Inclusion aims at being an interdisciplinary journal, covering a broad range of topics, such as immigration, poverty, education, minorities, disability, discrimination, and inequality, with a special focus on studies which discuss solutions, strategies and models for social inclusion. Social Inclusion invites contributions from a broad range of disciplinary backgrounds and specializations, inter alia sociology, political science, international relations, history, cultural studies, geography, media studies, educational studies, communication science, and language studies. We welcome conceptual analysis, historical perspectives, and investigations based on empirical findings, while accepting regular research articles, review articles, commentaries, and reviews.
