项目摘要

The Passions of Youth, which follows on from research conducted for an AHRC supported monograph, Being Boys, intends to showcase the creative potential of 'ordinary' working-class young men in their teens as an alternative to popular assumptions made about working-class young men, which tend to ignore the ordinary and everyday and focus on the exceptional, sensational and negative. This proposal focuses on the 'joiners', those who have actively followed particular leisure interests, with the aim of strengthening and validating their choices and communicating their enthusiasm for them to a public audience. The Passions of Youth celebrates the skills and experiences that working-class young men often develop when they participate in particular leisure activities, in this case football, speedway and music. The project is delivered through three groups in Manchester and Salford: FC United of Manchester, Belle Vue Aces (Speedway) and Salford Youth Hub, and uses a variety of creative approaches and the medium of these shared leisure passions to enable working-class young men in their teens and older working-class men who were teenagers between the 1940s and 1970s to explore changing experiences of youth. The young working-class men will be empowered to shape their own narratives of their leisure experiences and alternative interpretations of age and working-class masculinity. The Passions of Youth is more than about the activity itself, in this case, football, music and speedway racing; it offers participants opportunities to reflect on and become more self-aware of the wide range of skills these activities utilise, from social interaction and collaboration to self-sufficiency and resilience. A range of creative activities, chosen by the young men themselves, will help them to acquire new skills and the confidence to put their leisure pursuit into a broader historical and community context. The activities will build up knowledge and confidence by giving individuals a sense of empowerment and ownership to help them convey the personal meanings of their particular leisure enthusiasm and share, learn and reflect on it with others outside their immediate environment. The young men who participate will develop a range personal and transferable skills, becoming experienced in authoring the creative and social aspects of their projects, creating new archives and collections, articulating their own ideas and showing how history can be used to 'do something positive'. The involvement of Manchester Histories and the Manchester Histories Festivals in 2014 and 2015 will provide large audiences for the project's creative outcomes. Local communities will be encouraged to take pride in the expertise of these young men, public awareness of their potential will be raised and popular stereotypes of their behaviour will be challenged. The Passions of Youth is based on collaborative partnerships and sustainable, creative engagements between Manchester Metropolitan University, community organisations and those working in the creative professions across Greater Manchester, which will enable the young men to present and showcase their particular leisure enthusiasms to each other and to the public. The proposal's underlying aim is to communicate the potential of humanities research to stimulate fresh and innovative approaches to aspects of working-class young men's lives which are usually overlooked and unseen by the public and in broader political debates.

《青春的激情》是根据AHRC资助的专著《成为男孩》所做的研究，旨在展示普通工薪阶层年轻人在十几岁时的创造潜力，以此作为对工薪阶层年轻人的流行假设的替代，这些假设往往忽视平凡和日常生活，专注于特殊、耸人听闻和负面的东西。这项建议重点关注那些积极追随特定休闲兴趣的人，目的是加强和验证他们的选择，并向公众传达他们对他们的热情。《青春激情》颂扬了工薪阶层的年轻人在参加特定的休闲活动时所获得的技能和经验，在这种情况下，这些休闲活动包括足球、赛车和音乐。该项目通过曼彻斯特和索尔福德的三个小组进行：曼彻斯特FC United、Belle Vue Ace(Speedway)和索尔福德青年中心，并使用各种创造性的方法和这些共同的休闲激情的媒介，使20世纪40年代至70年代之间十几岁的工薪阶层年轻男子和年长的工薪阶层男子能够探索年轻人不断变化的经历。年轻的工薪阶层男性将有权塑造自己对休闲经历的叙述，以及对年龄和工人阶级男子气概的另类解释。青年的激情不仅仅是活动本身，在这种情况下，足球、音乐和赛车；它为参与者提供了反思和更多自我意识的机会，这些活动使用的技能范围广泛，从社交和合作到自给自足和应变能力。由年轻人自己选择的一系列创造性活动将帮助他们获得新的技能和信心，将他们的休闲追求置于更广泛的历史和社区背景中。这些活动将通过给予个人一种赋权和主人翁意识来建立知识和信心，帮助他们传达其独特的休闲热情的个人意义，并与周围环境之外的其他人分享、学习和反思。参与的年轻人将发展一系列个人和可转移的技能，在创作他们项目的创意和社会方面变得经验丰富，创造新的档案和收藏品，阐明他们自己的想法，并展示如何利用历史做一些积极的事情。2014年和2015年曼彻斯特历史和曼彻斯特历史艺术节的参与将为该项目的创造性成果提供大量观众。将鼓励当地社区为这些年轻人的专业知识感到自豪，提高公众对他们潜力的认识，并挑战对他们行为的普遍刻板印象。青年激情是基于曼彻斯特大都会大学、社区组织和大曼彻斯特地区创意职业工作者之间的合作伙伴关系和可持续的创造性参与，这将使年轻人能够向彼此和公众展示和展示他们独特的休闲热情。该提案的根本目的是宣传人文研究的潜力，以刺激对工薪阶层年轻人生活方面的新鲜和创新方法，这些方面通常被公众和更广泛的政治辩论忽视和忽视。
