Document Summary
Chys 2p38- child and youth political engagement. Children are conceived as belonging to the domestic sphere (and to schools) and thus, not political. Formal political institutions exclude children (elections, parliaments, parties) but attempt to mobilize youth for their own ends. Chantal mouffe- the political refers to the inevitable antagonism that constitutes the social and the politics are the methods used to resolve these. Children may be excluded from formal politics, but they have consistently shown an ability to be political. April 2013, students at bal mandir school in kaski nepal protested physical abuse to the education ministry; principal and teachers were fired. Support given by powerful student unions in nepal was crucial to this political action. Craig jeffrey (2013)- young people as alchemists of the revolution (karl marx) Karl mannheim"s conception of generations as a social structure that shapes cultural progress. Fresh contact with cultural inheritance means that youth reproduce culture according to their own historical location.
