Since the mid-2000s, an international boom of protest can observed that has made use of new forms of the political. In the societies of the Global South, youth movements are the most important protagonists of these protests, which are often related to recent economic and political developments, yet sometimes do not specifically formulate their demands, but rather highlight the plurality of civil society actors. As could be seen in the Arab Uprisings, the consequences for the established social orders and political cultures of the respective countries can hardly be captured in a single formula. Existing research on the transformation of political culture resulting from youth movement protests is still scarce. The proposed project attempts at rectifying this deficiency by addressing the question of how youth movements in two Muslim countries (Bangladesh and Senegal) restructure the existing political cultures and what effects they have on their transformation. The proposed project intends to clarify empirically how youth movements in the two countries use references to Islam and secularism as well as traditionality and modernity, and to what extent they formulate clear for and against positions. The redefinition of the political in the context of the protest is connected to the use of new media that will equally be examined. Theoretically, the project draws on sociological research on social movements as well as on cultural, media, and developmental sociology. The comparison of two youth movements in two different Muslim societies will allow the identification of general structures of political transformation in the South, which also leads to a better understanding of the motives for migration of the youth from this region.

自2000年代中期以来，可以观察到国际上的抗议热潮，这些抗议活动利用了新的政治形式。在全球南方社会，青年运动是这些抗议活动中最重要的主角，这些抗议活动往往与最近的经济和政治发展有关，但有时并不具体阐述他们的要求，而是突出民间社会行动者的多元性。正如在阿拉伯起义中可以看到的那样，对各自国家的既定社会秩序和政治文化的后果很难用一个公式来描述。现有的关于青年运动抗议导致的政治文化转型的研究仍然很少。拟议的项目试图纠正这一缺陷，办法是解决两个穆斯林国家（孟加拉国和塞内加尔）的青年运动如何改组现有的政治文化以及它们对其转变产生什么影响的问题。拟议中的项目旨在从经验上澄清两国的青年运动如何使用伊斯兰教和世俗主义以及传统和现代的参考资料，以及他们在多大程度上制定了明确的支持和反对立场。在抗议活动的背景下，政治的重新定义与新媒体的使用有关，新媒体的使用也将受到同样的审查。从理论上讲，该项目借鉴了社会运动以及文化、媒体和发展社会学的社会学研究。对两个不同穆斯林社会的两场青年运动进行比较，将有助于确定南方政治变革的一般结构，这也有助于更好地理解该地区青年移民的动机。
