In a context of polycrisis and lack of opportunities for youth emancipation, it is imperative to understand the socio-economic conditions, life experiences, practices and social representation of marginalised youth. Peripheral Creativities examines the intersection of urban segregation, creative practices, and public policies in understanding peripheral youth.Bringing together chapters from sociologists and other social science scholars across three continents, this edited collection addresses how creativity is mobilised by young people from marginalised neighbourhoods, as well as their influence on the (re)definition of the policies they are the target of. Associated with the PERICREATIVITY project based in Portugal, chapters bring together members of this project's team with researchers from other parts of the world, highlighting different contexts and perspectives on peripheral youth and the growing importance of their artistic practices in affirming positive identities and subverting stereotypes. The research emphasises how the power of these practices has been mobilised by the state as a resource for the governance of the urban margins with a view to youth participation, local development and social inclusion.This text contributes to the production of knowledge about the creativity of young people from segregated territories, as well as the public policies aimed at them with a core focus on the logic of urban segregation, social marginalisation and structural inequality.
