ABSTRACT

Drawing on recent framings of young people’s environmental activism as a ‘game’, alongside long-standing characterisations of youth as responsibilised environmental change-agents, in this Viewpoint I identify fertile research opportunities in the liminal spaces between moments of young people’s action and the political and socio-cultural spaces through which those actions (might) diffuse. I argue that youth geographers should take care to engage critically with young activists’ actions, as well as wider political and cultural responses to them, in order to avoid furthering problematic ‘sustainability saviour’ framings of youth.

精彩游戏并保持冷静：年轻人环保行动主义的新政治、社会和文化地理

摘要

借鉴最近将年轻人的环境行动主义视为一种“游戏”的框架，以及长期以来将青年视为负责任的环境变化推动者的特征，在这个观点中，我确定了在年轻人的行动时刻与政治时刻之间的阈限空间中的肥沃研究机会和社会文化空间，这些行动（可能）通过这些空间传播。我认为，青年地理学家应该注意批判性地参与青年活动家的行动，以及对他们的更广泛的政治和文化反应，以避免进一步形成有问题的青年“可持续性救世主”框架。
