| Popis: | Given the current societal crises, youth research has the task of establishing models that relate social context and subjectivity in order to create a framework for an appropriate discussion of the effects of material crises as well as effects of the discourse on crisis on children. This article examines the possibility of such a crises-related childhood and adolescence research. Unlike Jean Piaget and Erik H. Erikson, our focus is not the crucial role of epigenetic and positively connoted crisis for the development over the life span, but the impact of social, economic and political crisis on subjectivity. The heterogenity of crisis research and present empirical data on the effects of the European economic crisis of 2008/09 are sketched, with a special focus on the effects of crisis on children and adolescents. In view of the empirical studies and the lack of theoretical and methodological approaches, weaknesses of crisis research are identified and a four-level model of crisis analysis to structure the field of childhood and adolescence-centered crisis research is developed. Finally, the article proposes that childhood and youth-related crisis research can provide insights into research concerning the reproduction of inequalities in life chances as well as research concerning changes in the conditions of growing up induced by crises and crisis discourse. |
