When societies (re-)create: Youth(ful) ideas and nascent politics in the South Caucasus
Our panel investigates the changing societal dynamics and political landscapes in the contemporary countries of the post-Soviet South Caucasus, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan. In our research projects, we put particular analytical emphasis on political ideologies of young people, prefigurative politics and new or re-occurring patterns of societal and political activism.
In four different contributions, three single cases studies and one comparative analysis, we examine nascent political and visible societal tendencies in a region which has undergone societal changes on the surface, however remains in the post-Soviet moment of precarious transformation.
Specific focus is put on new critical subjectivities, political identities and their embeddedness in political categories of right and left as well as liminal agency.
