Abstract

This chapter presents the theoretical framework used in the book. Depending on the theories of youth prioritized, different questions would be asked about pop culture, underlining a need for reflexivity and intersectional analysis. Foucault, Agamben, De Certeau, and Anzaldua are among the theorists emphasized. The chapter argues that pop culture analysis helps identify the ‘commonsensical’ narratives and ‘self-fulfilling prophecies’ (Weldes) of violence in world politics, uncovers the domestic pop-cultural contexts of liberal peacebuilding and how these blur with militarism, and helps locate the cultural sources of positive peace and resistance. Focusing on a politics of peace and youth cultures, peacebuilding can be rendered recognizable as a discourse that bridges local lives and global structures.

    Brocklehurst describes the maturation process in the developmental model as conceptualized in either one of two ways: ‘[P]rior to becoming adults children have essential “child qualities” and need specific nurturing and teaching in order to change these into, or substitute them for, adult qualities; or, the child may be understood to be a partial or a lesser version of the adult, with adult qualities in place but yet to develop without assistance. […] Critically, neither view holds that childlike qualities may continue into adulthood, or that qualities are shared.’ Brocklehurst H . 2006. Quote at pp. 3–4.
