Popis: This chapter summarizes the key findings and reflects on how the analysis permits re-thinking youth participation. It introduces one of the main theoretical concepts which emerged in the analysis – recognition – insofar as the overview aids understanding of what is involved in certain practices being recognised as participation and others not. Young people’s practices in public spaces reflect struggles for recognition which take the form of boundary marking/making. E. Laclau and C. Mouffe have re-interpreted the constant struggle about hegemony as expression of the necessarily antagonistic structure of capitalist societies. Society emerges from political struggles about who and what belongs to society. The chapter describes the main findings of the analysis according to the six sensitising perspectives: Discourse, institutional contexts, social space, youth cultural styles, biographies and learning. In analysing young people’s different practices in public spaces, six sensitising concepts have been applied aimed at reconstructing different levels and aspects of meaning of these practices. © 2020 Andreas Walther; Janet Batsleer; Patricia Loncle; Axel Pohl.
