CFP: Contemporary Youth Resistance Culture: Viability, Relevancy, and Pragmatism
Critical Arts Journal
Theme Editor: Clive W. Kronenberg
Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Mowbray Campus, Cape Town
(...) This Call for Papers is concerned predominantly, though not exclusively, with the theoretical substructures that inform and underpin this prevailing universal 'youth resistance culture'. The fact that youths from different parts of the world, on arguably all continents, and almost simultaneously, find themselves entangled in their own, idiosyncratic 'mode of contestation', does suggest the presence of a common set of problems and aspirations, one which traverses human, social, cultural, political, and territorial boundaries. (...)
Deadlines for Abstracts (200 words): 20 January 2012
Deadline for Submissions: 20 June 2012
Submissions, including Abstract, Biographical Note, Key Words, End Notes, and References, in MS Word Format, to be sent via email to The Guest Editor: Critical Arts: Dr Clive W. Kronenberg (kronenbergc@cput.ac.za); Research Fellow: Critical Thinking Group, Education & Social Sciences Faculty, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Mowbray Campus, Cape Town, 7700, South Africa

Call for Panel Papers: Migrant Children’s Cultures and the Culture of Migrant Childhoods
“Children and Youth in a Changing World”
2012 Inter-congress of International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences (IUAES)
Bhubaneswar, India during November 26-30, 2012
Immigrant children’s cultures have been re-created across time periods and through various spatial, racial, institutional, and ideological practices. These cultures offer insight into the diverse cultures of children and their societies, and function as sites for analyzing constructions of childhoods. This panel looks at the cultures of migrant children, and engages with the conceptions, contestations, and negotiations of immigrant childhood cultures in their varied possibilities: production, consumption, performance, and embodiment. Migrant children employ various urban spaces, services for their support, along with institutional and familial ideologies, to further deploy new cultural practices in popular culture, food, dress, language, peer groups, writings, and other material, spatial, and literary forms. This panel aims to look at the ways in which migration gives rise to diverse childhood cultures – lived and ideological – across international immigration movements of children and youth. Diverse approaches and methods of exploration of these cultures, in varied texts, and across historical time periods and regions, are especially welcome on this panel.
Please send a 300 word abstract by August 28, 2011 to Anandini Dar: anandini@camden.rutgers.edu.

Adolescent Ambassadors
Workshop at the GHI
German Historical Institute
Washington DC
Adolescent Ambassadors
20th Century Youth Organizations and International Relations
This workshop seeks to add to the burgeoning historiography on non-state actors in international relations by focusing on youth and youth organizations. Parallel to the proliferation of inter- and transnational organizations around the turn of the century, Western scientists invented the concept of adolescence to demarcate an intermediate period between childhood and adulthood. The contention that adolescence was an unstable life phase, a developmental stage marked by extreme vitality and insecurity, persuaded policymakers across borders to establish domestic institutions designed to shape, educate, and improve an allegedly erratic youth. But...

International Conference: Child Labour in the Past
The 2011 Fifth International Conference of theSociety for the Study of Childhood in the Past
Child Labour in the Past Children as economic contributors and consumers
University of Cambridge
Friday 30th September - Sunday 2nd October 2011
The 2011 Autumn conference of the Society for the Study of Childhood in the Past will be held in the University of Cambridge from Friday 30th September - Sunday 2nd October, when the theme will be Child Labour in the Past. As in previous years, the conference will include sessions addressing the conference and on other aspect of recent research into of children and childhood in the past.
In 2011, the themed sessions will bring together scholars from a wide range of academic disciplines including History, Archaeology, Literature, Sociology and Anthropology to consider different aspects of children and work in the past, including children as economic contributors, children as consumers, the impact on children and society of working in childhood, and changing attitudes to working children. The aim will be to advance cross-cultural knowledge and understanding of childhood and children in the past, and in particular on the nature and impact of work performed by, or for, children in the past.
Speakers are attending from three continents and papers will range across the world from prehistory to the modern day, with a particular focus on the nineteenth century.
In providing this opportunity for scholars of childhood to present their work to an international, interdisciplinary audience, the SSCIP Conference aims to widen knowledge and generate new perspectives on existing knowledge about childhood in the past and to stimulate new avenues for future research.

CFP: Special Issue African Identities: Contemporary Youth Cultures in Africa
Late Modernity, Locality and Agency: Contemporary Youth Cultures in Africa
More than a decade and half ago, Donal Cruise-O’Brien (1996) had declared that the African youth were ‘a lost generation.’ This fatalistic summation of the fate of the African youth was perhaps for good reason. The enormous socio-economic and cultural forces surrounding the lives of young people in Africa were [and still are] simply daunting. And at the very core of this seemingly insurmountable socio-economic atmosphere are the pervasive unjust protocols of postcolonial regimes under which most African youth live. Indeed, more recent scholarship suggests that there is no respite yet for the African youth (See Abbink, Jon and Ineke Van Kessel 2005 & Alcinda Honwana and Filip De Boeck 2005). On account of the inclement socio-economic and political circumstances surrounding young people in the continent, what we are now witnessing across the entire continent is what Mamodou Douf (2003) describes as the “dramatic irruption of young people in both the domestic and public spheres,” putting young people at the very heart of the continent’s socio-economic and political imagination (Durham 2006).
But the challenges facing African youth are not peculiar to them. All over the world, the new sociology of youth points to a growing concern about the ramifications of globalization, late modernity and general global social and economic restructuring for the lives and futures of young people. But amidst the lingering fears of the future of the young, scholars have also called for a deep reflection and rethinking of young people’s own resilience and agency in the midst of these turbulent times. This special issue of African Identities, tentatively entitled Late Modernity and Agency: Youth Cultures in Africa, seeks to reflect on the varied contours of youth responses to social change in Sub-Saharan Africa. While young people in Africa continue to face extraordinary social challenges in their everyday lives, what are the unique ways in which they have reinvented their circumstances to keep afloat in the midst of seismic global social changes? Papers are solicited on a wide range of topics on the African youth that may unravel young people not only as victims but also as active social actors in the face of a shifting global modernity. The themes may include amongst others,
- African Youth and Globalization
- Late Modernity and Social Change
- Youth and Media—Film, Television, Video, Internet, etc
- Hip-hop, Club Cultures and other forms of Popular culture
- Mobility and Social Media
- Gender and New Economies of Youth
- Democracy, Power and Youth Activism
- Youth and Conflict in Africa
- New Subjectivities and Agency
- Neo-Pentecostalism as Subculture
- The Informal Economy and Invented Pathways
- Lifestyles and Identity Constructions
- New Spatial Politics in Public and Domestic Spaces
Abstracts of not more than 500 words (including name, position, institutional affiliation, and email contact) may be sent to P.UGor@bham.ac.uk no later than September 30th, 2011. This special issue of African Identities will be published in the summer of 2012.
