Phenomenology of Youth Cultures and Globalization

How can phenomenology and phenomenological modes of analysis help us to understand the sense-making practices deployed by young people in the context of asymmetrical globalization in the global North and South? This volume addresses this question, resuscitating and historicizing the formative - if generally under-acknowledged - role phenomenology has had within youth cultural studies, the sociology of youth, and related fields, while at the same time (through empirical studies from around the world) illustrating the diversity of youth meaning-making practices and expanding our horizons for understanding and responding to the unique, yet historically-situated, contexts faced by young people in the contemporary moment.
