Pop-up Leisure Settings

This report presents an analysis of data collected in four ethnographic studies within Work Package 7 of the CHIEF project. These young people play an active role in their relationship towards cultural heritage ; through their involvement in gaming, music, and dance, they are actually participating in the creation of cultural heritage. Within this cluster, entitled 'pop-up leisure settings', we observe how youth practices correspond to key project questions regarding cultural heritage, intercultural dialogue, and the identities of young people. Within the differing social (economic, cultural, political) contexts of Spain, Turkey, Croatia, and Georgia, these four groups of youths create many similar forms around their chosen and affective (sub)cultural practices. In these patterns of interaction both amongst themselves and with their environment, these youths work to improve themselves, build communities, and gain a feeling of belonging to the broader (sub)cultural circle to which these cultural practices refer. All four case studies involve young people who are open to others including those different from them, who support the right to diversity, tolerance, and inclusiveness, who are aware of themselves and their own role in building cultural heritage. Regardless of the differences in their context, all groups, the Tsibakha gaming club in Tbilisi, Hobgoblin gaming club in Istanbul, Jeboton music collective in Zagreb, and street hip-hop dancers in Barcelona actually emphasise the similarities of the ways in which young people build their own (sub)cultural identities through participation in their own (sub)cultural practices. These identities are not confined to the borders of national/ethnic or religious cultural heritage ; some participants respect this heritage, but want to modernise and expand it, while others reject its relevance as a frame of reference, instead remaining open to developing their identities based on their own (sub)cultural practices and universal human rights.
