都市部における若者の社会参加と文化活動

パリ郊外オーベルヴィリエ市の事例を通して

抄録

This study seeks to clarify how the forms of mobilization of young people have changed in urban deteriorated areas that are the locus of social problems such as youth unemployment or social exclusion, the consequences of post-industrialization and globalization of economy. Analysis of cultural associations composed by young actors in Aubervilliers, a former bastion of the labour movement, indicates that they find in cultural activities not only an economic and professional interest but also a social and collective dimension that cannot be ignored. Cultural activities provide original mechanisms for political expression, reveal new standards of social integration (especially for young people of immigrant origin) and show the way to emerging models of public participation in a political space where abstention has became, as in many industrialized countries, a major problem.
