SUMMARY:Young People Still Revolting into Style as a Political Act: Mixing
  and Breaking the Urban Codes of Austerity and Xenophobia - Jo-Anne Dillab
 ough and Charlotte Rochez\, Faculty of Education

CONTACT:Sally Roach
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop/presentation\, we seek to achieve the followi
 ng: first\, through analyses of documentary evidence (e.g. media reports) 
 and art and music produced by young people living in council estates (Tott
 enham\, UK) or townships (Cape town\, South Africa\, Lavender Hill)\, we s
 howcase the diverse ways in which young people who are targeted by police 
 or have ‘done time’ respond to and navigate exclusions associated with
  the changing city under austerity agendas and heightened racial conflicts
 . We further explore how the embodiment of racial conflict and urban chang
 e are expressed through young people’s artistic and political lives as t
 hey confront social housing cuts and rising income disparities in comparat
 ive urban contexts. Finally\, we make an argument for bridging some of the
  affective dimensions of living the city with earlier understandings of yo
 uth styles as revolt (Hebdige\, 1979)\, and in particular the ‘status an
 d meaning of revolt\, the idea of style as a form of refusal as the elevat
 ion of crime into art’ (Hebdige\, 1979).\n\nThe workshop will be broken 
 down into two parts. The first  will explore the research and findings of 
 our comparative research and Professor Pullan will talk on her Divided Cit
 ies project. The second part will focus on examining forms of visual metho
 dology and material remnants from past time (e.g.\, photos\, film footage\
 , archival documents\, artifacts) as a way of expanding our understandings
  of comparative ethnographic research\, and the use of visuals as major te
 aching tools.
