农村青年：一个边缘化的弱势群体

在工业化和城市化进程中,农村青年的经济、政治、文化地位被不断边缘化,城乡隔离的社会制度在设计理念上和实际运行中把具有农民身份的农村青年排斥在制度利益之外。农村青年的发展正成为社会发展过程中突出的社会问题。     

我国青年社团的成长与社会资本的建构

社会资本主要是指建立在信任和互助合作基础之上的社会关系网络,它是社会发展所必需的资本之一。我国青年社团的发展与社会资本存在着结构性的制约与依存关系。目前,我国青年社团的发展环境仍然存在很多困难,对我国社会资本的建构形成了一定的制约。因此要大力培育我国的青年社团,推进政府与公民、政治国家与公民社会的良好合作,促进我国社会资本存量的提升,并最终促成我国善治的实现。     

青年亚文化与价值冲突

青年亚文化是现代性的一个重要方面,意味着价值冲突已经上升到了政治文化层面。它受到了世代冲突、媒介统治、景观表演等多种现代社会因素的驱动而带上了越来越强烈的反抗性。青年亚文化被看作是一种对主导文化、权威文化、强势文化的反抗,是为了捍卫一种生活形式及其背后的价值。将青年亚文化运动所蕴涵的创造力从其反常形态中拯救出来,克服其犯罪、越轨和无序的消极后果,不仅是社会文化学所必须正视的问题,也是犯罪学所遭遇的重大挑战。     

浅析欧洲早期青年工人运动的几个问题

欧洲早期的青年运动并非总是反映在反对资产阶级和帝国主义的斗争中,而是首先体现在反对封建势力及其残余的资产阶级民族民主革命斗争中;另一方面,青年工人运动作为无产阶级反对资产阶级斗争的重要组成部分,是随着无产阶级的成熟发展而发展起来的。     

The Psychological World of the Gay Teenager:Social Change,Narrative, and “Normality”

This paper examines the application of concepts of normal adolescence pioneered by Offer and colleagues to the study of gay and lesbian youth. Adolescent development among this population demonstrates remarkable historical variability along the lines of generation-cohort, revealing the utility of a life-course approach to the study of normal adolescence. Concepts of normal adolescence appear to shift with changing narratives of identity for sexual minority youth. We contrast two narratives of gay youth identity development that have emerged since the inception of substantive research programs on gay adolescence: (1) the narrative of struggle and success that came to dominate the literature in the 1980s and 1990s and (2) the narrative of emancipation that has emerged from the work of Savin-Williams and others who argue for a recognition of the diversity of adolescent development for this population. In relating this contrast to Offer’s seminal contributions to the study of adolescence, we suggest that the most normative feature of human development, particularly during adolescence, is its connection to discourses of identity through the formation of personal narratives that anchor the life course and provide meaning to conceptions of self-development. The example of shifting narratives of gay youth identity development is meant to exemplify this characteristic feature of human development.

His work examines the cultural psychology of adolescence and emerging adulthood, with a focus on identity and narrative. His earlier work with former student of Dan Offer, Maryse Richards, focused on the study of ethnicity, context, and normal adolescence. Most recently, he has been studying culture and normal adolescent development among Israeli and Palestinian youth.

发达国家青年失业群体治理措施及借鉴

近几年来,青年是面临失业的主要群体,这一问题引起了学术界特别是青年研究界越来越多的关注。青年群体有别于传统失业群体,有着自身的特点。发达国家之所以能够较为有效地控制青年失业率,主要是因为实施了积极的就业保障措施来促进青年就业。借鉴国外的经验,我国解决青年群体就业问题的政策取向必须以提高就业能力为出发点。     

比较与借鉴：中外青年志愿服务现状透视

国外发达国家青年志愿服务工作已逐渐步入组织化、规范化和系统化的轨道。通过中外志愿服务的比较发现,我国青年志愿服务水平与社会成员的需求仍然有较大的差距。应借鉴与吸收国外的成功经验,以更好地推动我国青年志愿服务工作的持续发展。     

关注网络论坛舆论 引导青年网上行为

随着互联网与现实社会的进一步紧密结合,网络论坛已经成为广大青年网民信息交流、观点交流、意识形态交锋的一个重要阵地,规范的网络论坛能够起到及时传播信息、弘扬民族正气、促进社会和谐的作用,无序的网络论坛会引发网络暴力、传播网络谣言、破坏社会的稳定。由于青年是网络活动的主体,因此政府应该有意识、有方法地管理网络论坛,青年工作既要面向现实中的青年,也应面向那些网络上虚拟社区的青年网民,主动引导网络舆论,维护网络道德。     

INTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE RISK AMONG VICTIMS OF YOUTH VIOLENCE: ARE EARLY UNIONS BAD,BENEFICIAL, OR BENIGN?

Youth violent victimization (YVV) is a risk factor for precocious exits from adolescence via early coresidential union formation. It remains unclear, however, whether these early unions 1) are associated with intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization, 2) interrupt victim continuity or victim–offender overlap through protective and prosocial bonds, or 3) are inconsequential. By using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 11,928; 18–34 years of age), we examine competing hypotheses for the effect of early union timing among victims of youth violence (n = 2,479)—differentiating across victimization only, perpetration only, and mutually combative relationships and considering variation by gender. The results from multinomial logistic regression models indicate that YVV increases the risk of IPV victimization in first unions, regardless of union timing; the null effect of timing indicates that delaying union formation would not reduce youth victims’ increased risk of continued victimization. Gender‐stratified analyses reveal that earlier unions can protect women against IPV perpetration, but this is partly the result of an increased risk of IPV victimization. The findings suggest that YVV has significant transformative consequences, leading to subsequent victimization by coresidential partners, and this association might be exacerbated among female victims who form early unions. We conclude by discussing directions for future research.     

Fear and youth citizenship practices: insights from Montreal

This article explores how fear contributes to empowerment and citizenship practices among youth who choose alternative lifestyles. Fear is conceived in a threefold manner: (1) as a manipulated resource in the political process, (2) as energy to be tamed through individual will, and (3) as radiating from actors and flowing through situations of action. Through an examination of how ‘risk-taking’ youths play with fear, the article critically reflects on the modern and advanced modern conceptualizations of the political ‘heroic’ actor and its articulation with an understanding of political action as decentered from human actors. Citizenship practices, it is argued, operate on five distinct levels of political engagement ranging from an awareness of the world outside of oneself to empathy for others and activism. Rather than being state-centered, the article develops an understanding of intersubjective citizenship based on affective memory.
