第二次世界大战后,英国的青年被塑造成不守规矩、麻烦和离经叛道的人,尤其是在城市公共空间和街道上。然而,并不是所有的儿童和年轻人都被劝阻不要进入这些环境或与公众接触。从文学出版的童子军协会和鲍勃一个工作周在英国于1949年推出的案例研究,我研究的责任,风险和奖励嵌入在这个青年活动的机构地理,精心策划的最受欢迎的青年组织在英国。这项筹款计划涉及童子军为户主完成家务,并鼓励穿制服的青年成为可见的,熟练的和有用的。值得注意的是,这也发生在大部分城市地区,使我们对童子军作为一种理想化的“农村”实践的理解复杂化,露营是其中心活动。此外,本文探讨了如何筹款奇观也作为一个混合的空间,允许“女性”的家庭任务,适当的“英国少年时代”,直到该计划的最终消亡在20世纪90年代。总的来说,Bob-a-Job Week的复杂地理位置揭示了该组织如何谈判家庭和公共空间之间的界限,为战后时期更广泛的青年和性别建设提供了一个见解。
After World War Two, youth in Britain was constructed as unruly, troublesome, and deviant, particularly in public urban space and streets. However, not all children and young people were discouraged from entering these environments or engaging with the general public. Drawing from literature published by the Boy Scout Association and a case study of Bob-a-Job Week in Britain launched in 1949, I examine the institutional geographies of responsibility, risk, and reward embedded in this youth activity, orchestrated by the most popular youth organisation in Britain. This fundraising scheme involved Boy Scouts completing domestic tasks for householders and encouraged uniformed youth to be visible, proficient, and useful. Significantly, this also took place in largely urban areas—complicating our understanding of scouting as an idealised ‘rural’ practice with camping as its central activity. Furthermore, this paper explores how this fundraising spectacle also functioned as a hybrid space that permitted ‘feminine’ domestic tasks as appropriate for ‘British boyhood’ until the scheme's eventual demise in the 1990s. Overall, the complex geographies of Bob-a-Job Week reveal how this organisation negotiated the boundaries between domestic and public space, providing an insight into broader constructions of youth and gender in the postwar period.
