Whilst the position of young people as arts consumers has been highly critiqued, the opportunities for young people to be celebrated as entrepreneurial and subcultural arts producers are often overlooked. This article explores the role of young people as agents of creation through arts programmes and the development of ‘common cultural dispositions.’ The framework – Artistic Production and (re)production – draws on and combines analytical insights and theoretical concepts from Paul Willis and Pierre Bourdieu in order to argue that young people both consume and produce artistic practices, which then leads to a reproduced social hierarchy. This combination gives additional insight into culturally reproductive cycles, which remain problematically entrenched with social class disadvantage. An ethnographic methodology is reported, which enabled an in-depth exploration of everyday creativity, self-efficacy, self-identity, and forms of resistance for the young people in this study. However, I argue that whilst Artistic Production offers hopes of transformation, in particular for working-class and marginalised groups, ‘positional suffering’ and unconscious mechanisms of reproduction were also apparent.

艺术生产和（再）生产：青年艺术项目作为共同文化倾向的推动者

虽然年轻人作为艺术消费者的地位受到了高度批评，但年轻人被称为创业和亚文化艺术制作人的机会却常常被忽视。本文通过艺术项目和“共同文化倾向”的发展，探讨了年轻人作为创作媒介的作用。该框架——艺术生产和（再）生产——借鉴并结合了保罗·威利斯和皮埃尔·布迪厄的分析见解和理论概念，以论证年轻人既消费又生产艺术实践，从而导致再现的社会等级制度。这种结合为文化生殖周期提供了额外的洞察力，这些周期仍然存在社会阶级劣势的问题。报告了一种人种学方法，这使得本研究中的年轻人能够深入探索日常创造力、自我效能、自我认同和抵抗形式。然而，我认为，虽然艺术生产提供了转型的希望，特别是对于工人阶级和边缘化群体而言，但“位置上的痛苦”和无意识的再生产机制也很明显。
