项目摘要

Vivid narratives of youth and adolescence have dominated popular understanding of young people's lives. They have shaped government youth policy, influenced the academic projects of youth researchers and fed the appetites of the media and general public, often at the expense of understanding 'the mundane and humdrum experiences' which are most young people's lot. Historians have found 'good copy' in youth indiscipline, street gangs and delinquency, although these have only ever involved a minority of boys. Popular scrutiny of young people's lives (particularly young men) still focuses on the more outrageous as dramatic stereotypes continue to obscure the essential conformity of the majority. This project represents a response to the need for a different history of youth, one which places the historical experiences of working-class young males in the context of broader gender changes and which challenges dominant stereotypes of male adolescents as either 'youth in trouble' or 'youth as trouble'; one which explores neglected issues of adolescent 'compliance' and conformity and which demonstrates how meanings and representations of adolescent masculinity were/are nuanced in ways which have often been disregarded or under-estimated. The project argues that historical scholarship needs to move beyond one-dimensional analyses which privilege exceptional youth behaviour or particular types of youth conformity based on the archival dominance of the organized youth movement. It contributes to a more nuanced understanding of youthful masculinities, particularly mainstream youth by assessing the quieter, conformist attitudes and behaviours usually absent in examinations of male youth culture. Educationalists and youth workers were at the forefront of concerns about how best to inculcate manliness in a new generation of working-class young men in the interwar years and the research contrasts this rhetorical masculinity with the pragmatic everydayness of boys' own involvement with the activities they encouraged. It suggests how exposure to more relaxed social and emotional codes through the popular press and commercial entertainment subtly influenced young men's sense of self during adolescence and explores how new models of personal behaviour and social interaction influenced the self-image and anxieties of working-class boys and young men, particularly in relation to images of the body during the 1930s, the 'first decade to feel the full impact of mass media on society'. The 'glamour photography' of the popular press signified the growing sexualisation of the female body and the research argues that this has tended to over-shadow its complex implications for young men's bodies and notions of the male physique, as new visual forms helped shape male self-consciousness and sensitivity to body image and fashion. More relaxed social relationships and sexualized leisure spaces such as the dance floor offered young men novel opportunities to perform and be seen yet also introduced new anxieties and uncertainties to the male world of adolescent feeling, which the research explores in relation to individuals and through the advice columns of the popular press. It also examines how everyday activities such as cycling and walking shaped male social identity during adolescence, helping to invest place and locality with particular masculine meanings. An extensive range of qualitative evidence and contemporary surveys are used to explore these issues, including newspapers, magazines, autobiographies, oral histories, letters, Mass-Observation and the records of the boys' club movement. The project's most unusual primary source is my father's diaries, written in his mid teens in 1930s' Northampton, which are carefully contextualised in relation to these broader trends and developments.
对青年和青春期的生动叙述主导了人们对年轻人生活的普遍理解。他们塑造了政府的青年政策,影响了青年研究人员的学术项目,满足了媒体和公众的胃口,往往是以理解大多数年轻人的命运--“平凡而单调的经历”为代价的。历史学家在青少年无纪律、街头帮派和犯罪中发现了很好的复制,尽管这些只涉及一小部分男孩。由于戏剧性的刻板印象继续掩盖着大多数人的本质一致性,人们对年轻人(特别是年轻人)生活的普遍审视仍然集中在更加离谱的方面。这个项目反映了对不同青年史的需要,它把工人阶级年轻男性的历史经历放在更广泛的性别变化的背景下,挑战关于男性青少年的主流刻板印象,要么是“陷入困境的青年”,要么是“作为麻烦的青年”;一个探索被忽视的青少年“顺从”和从众问题的项目,它展示了青少年男子气概的含义和表现是如何以经常被忽视或低估的方式细微差别的。该项目认为,历史学术研究需要超越基于有组织青年运动的档案主导地位而对特殊青年行为或特定类型青年从众给予特权的单向度分析。它有助于更细致地了解青年男子气概,特别是主流青年,通过评估男性青年文化考试中通常缺乏的安静、墨守成规的态度和行为,有助于对青年男子气概,特别是主流青年的了解。在两次世界大战期间,教育家和青年工作者站在了关注如何最好地向新一代工薪阶层年轻男性灌输男子气概的前沿,研究将这种修辞上的男子汉气概与男孩自己参与的务实日常活动和他们鼓励的活动进行了对比。它揭示了在青春期,通过大众媒体和商业娱乐接触到更宽松的社交和情感代码,是如何潜移默化地影响年轻男性的自我意识的,并探索了新的个人行为模式和社交互动模式如何影响工薪阶层男孩和年轻人的自我形象和焦虑,特别是与20世纪30年代的身体形象有关,20世纪30年代是感受到大众媒体对社会全面影响的第一个十年。流行媒体的“魅力摄影”标志着女性身体日益性别化,研究认为,这往往掩盖了它对年轻男性身体和男性体型观念的复杂影响,因为新的视觉形式有助于塑造男性对身体形象和时尚的自我意识和敏感性。更宽松的社会关系和性别化的休闲空间,如舞池,为年轻男性提供了新的表演和露面的机会,但也给青春期的男性世界带来了新的焦虑和不确定性,这项研究从个人和流行媒体的建议专栏探索了这一点。它还研究了骑自行车和散步等日常活动如何在青春期塑造男性的社会认同,帮助赋予地点和地点以特殊的男性意义。大量的定性证据和当代调查被用来探讨这些问题,包括报纸、杂志、自传、口述历史、信件、群众观察和男孩俱乐部运动的记录。该项目最不同寻常的主要来源是我父亲的日记,写于20世纪30年代的北安普敦,写于他十几岁左右,这些日记仔细地结合了这些更广泛的趋势和发展。
