Youth Collectivities This volume seeks to address what its contributors take to be an important lacuna in youth cultural research: a lack of interest in the phenomenon of collectivity and collective aspects of youth culture. It gathers scholars from diverse research backgrounds – ranging from contemporary subculture studies, fan culture studies, musicology, youth transitions studies, criminology, technology and work-life studies – who all address collective phenomena in young lives. Ranging thematically from musicexperienceandfestivalparticipation,viasoccerfanculture,leisure,street art, youth climate activism, to the design of EU youth policies and Australian government ‘project’ work withyoung migrants, the chapters develop avariety ofapproachestocollectiveaspectstoyoungculturalpracticesandmaterialcul- tures.Toestablishthesenewapproaches,thecontributorscombinenewtheories and fresh empirical work; they critically engage with the tradition and they complementorevenreconfiguretraditionalapproachesinandaroundthefield.
