Descrizione

On the basis of research conducted in Italy through qualitative interviews, the article focuses on the narrations, the accounts, of the young activists involved in political and religious groups, challenging the often taken for granted assumption that their involvement in religious and political groups can be integrally interpreted as a form of religious or political participation. As a consequence of the complex frames of meanings the young activists present as the basis of this involvement, the article proposes to interpret it as a part of a lifestyle, a set of collectively shared distinctive and meaningful practices on the basis of which individuals express personal sensitivities and develop collective identities as well as correspondent processes of identification and recognition.
