Young People's Time Work: Searching for Certainty in Uncertain Times-Introduction to the Special Section
The editors introduce the topic of young people's time work at the intersection of youth research and time studies. A large part of youth studies tends to analyze young people's development and transitions while reproducing the chrononormativites of the institutionalized life course. The concept of time work developed by Flaherty allows to address the multidimensionality of time experienced and lived by young people. An overview over the contribu…
Youth and the New Adulthood: Generations of Change
Youth as a metaphor: An interview with Carmen Leccardi
What are the specificities of youth in Italy as a group? How are they received in civil society and beyond? What kind of approaches have characterized the study of youth in Italy throughout the last decades? In this interview, the editors of this Special Issue open a conversation with Carmen Leccardi, a leading scholar in the field whose work has impacted the study of Italian youth not only in Italy but also internationally. Leccardi investigates…
Youth, Space and Time: Agoras and Chronotopes in the Global City
This book engages with the experience of space and time in youth cultures across the world. Putting together contemporary case studies on young transnationalists, young glocals and young protesters in cities on the five continents, it analyzes new agoras and chronotopes in global cities. It is based on a selection of papers first presented to the International Sociological Association (ISA) Research Committee 34 session on Youth Cultures, Space a…
A New Youth: Young People, Generations and Family Life
A New Youth? provides a cross-cultural perspective on the challenges and problems posed by young people's transition to adulthood. The authors address questions such as: What are the experiences of being young in different European countries? What can we learn about the differences of being young in non-European countries? Are young people developing new attitudes towards society? What are the risks associated with the transition of youth to adul…
Accélération du temps, crise du futur, crise de la politique
Aujourd'hui, les sociétés occidentales ressemblent de plus en plus à des "nanocraties" – c'est ainsi qu'il a été proposé de les rebaptiser d'après la prééminence absolue, en leur sein, de la dimension de la vitesse. En d'autres termes, à notre époque les démocraties seraient devenues le règne des espaces temporels toujours plus restreints dont la nanoseconde peut être considérée comme le symbole.Mais quelles sont les retombées de ce processus sur…
New Temporal Perspectives in the “High-Speed Society”
There are good reasons to believe that social acceleration has now assumed such disrupting features as to have become an authentic mark of globalization. In this framework, the article focuses on the passage from a phase of “time-space compression” to one of “contraction of the present”. In this latter scenario, the present itself cedes the way to a simultaneous and, de facto, de-temporalized dimension. The chapter indicates as a possible area of…
Redefining the future: Youthful biographical constructions in the 21st century
The author connects the changing meanings of youth in contemporary western societies with the transformations in the representation of the future. The new youthful biographical constructions can be considered a central outcome of these parallel changes: they avoid long-term commitments and structure themselves around the idea of changeability
Facing uncertainty: Temporality and biographies in the new century
The ‘second modernity’ is producing significant changes both in the temporal (and spatial) parameters of the social world and in the ways in which one experiences it. The article deals with the repercussions of these changes in the construction of young people’s biographies in a social context characterized by great uncertainty, acceleration and fragmentation. New temporal representations are examined, focusing on the ways in which young people r…
Stereotypes of working women: The Power of Expectations
English The article considers the normative dimension of female gender stereotypes, underscoring the prescriptive and self-prescriptive power they contain. Particularly highlighted, from the social psychological point of view, is the recurring reproduction (even by women) of expectations of an intra-gender homogeneity based on a traditional female role. Emphasis is put on how this tendency to refuse to recognize intra-gender differences - often e…
Para um novo significado do futuro: Mudança Social, Jovens E Tempo
Se a "primeira modernidade" construiu o significado do futuro como tempo da experimentação e das possibilidades, a "segunda modernidade" encara-o, ao contrário, como dimensão incerta, como limite potencial, mais do que como fonte de recursos. Esse novo enquadramento semântico configura também, profundamente, os modos e as formas pelos quais as biografias juvenis são definidas. Enquanto o "projeto de vida" constitui cada vez menos o princípio capa…

Générations et changement social dans le Mezzogiorno italien
In diesem Artikel wird besonders über die Beziehungen zwischen den Generationen in einer benachteiligten Region des Mezzogiornos in Italien, und zwar Kala- brien, berichtet. In diesem modernisierten sozialen Umfeld, das aber durch eine strukturelle wirtschaftliche Schwäche gekennzeichnet ist, bestehen kontrastvolle kulturelle Welten, traditionelle und moderne, nebeneinander. Dort jung sein und gross werden bedeutet also, die Ungewissheiten der Mo…
Rethinking Social Time: Feminist Perspectives
In the final years of the 20th century, conceptions of time and work are changing rapidly. The crisis of (paid) work as the fundamental principle regulating society and personal identity has cast doubt on the legitimacy of an exclusively economic and quantitative interpretation of time. This paper argues that feminist thought can make a major contribution to the revision of the temporal paradigm that has hitherto been dominant. It will be shown t…
Past and Future in Young Women's Experience of Time
Women's experience of time is marked by the multiple, interdependent, non-hierarchical times involved in the construction of female identity. This is, in fact, characterized by the overlapping of public and private times and by the mingling of cyclical and linear times. The specificity of this experience is clearly visible in the particular modalities of self-reflection with regard to the biographical past and also in the difficulties that accomp…
