The Imagined Community of Lebanese Youth Activists: Resistance by Other Means
(2022)- Abstract
- Investigation into youth activists across different fields of social and political engagement reveals a shared political subjectivity and collective self-conceptualization. In assessing Lebanese youth civic and political activism from the perspective of the youth themselves, placing their own subjectivity centrally in the analytical framework, this paper reveals an imagined community, the Civil Society, in which youth activists conceive of themselves as connected through a shared positionality in the broader sectors of civil society and the traditional political arena, but also linked in joint enterprise: that of political resistance.
