Abstract

Chapter One locates this research conducted with public university students in Kathmandu within the conceptual debate on the role of youth in processes of social change. In bringing together different strands of research on youth, aspiration, and mobility, the chapter identifies important changes in the ways in which social scientists have thought about and, increasingly, have worked with young people in the twentieth and the twenty-first century. The discussion also shows that researchers have approached questions about young people’s agency from a rather narrow angle, as they have primarily studied instances in which young people are involved in acts of resistance or the creation of value, often in response to situations of adversity. Existing theorizations of youth agency, therefore, tend to reproduce rather than scrutinize pervasive visions of youth as agents of change and as a source of hope for a better future. In order to provide a new perspective, the conceptual approach adopted pays close attention to the varied nature of youth agency.

从现在到未来
第一章将这项与加德满都公立大学学生进行的研究定位在关于青年在社会变革过程中作用的概念辩论中。本章汇集了关于青年、抱负和流动性的不同研究方向,确定了社会科学家在20世纪和21世纪思考年轻人的方式以及越来越多地与年轻人合作的方式的重要变化。讨论还表明,研究人员从一个相当狭隘的角度探讨了有关年轻人能动性的问题,因为他们主要研究的是年轻人参与抵抗或创造价值行为的实例,通常是对逆境的反应。因此,现有的关于青年能动性的理论倾向于再现而不是仔细审查青年人作为变革的推动者和对更美好未来的希望之源的普遍看法。为了提供一个新的视角,所采用的概念方法密切关注青年机构的各种性质。
