A partir de un estudio de caso en la Calle Robadors del barrio del Raval de Barcelona, este artículo centra su atención en el lugar de las trabajadoras sexuales en el espacio urbano y en la esfera pública de la ciudad. El estudio plantea el reto que actualmente supone la supervivencia del relato de "otra" cara de Barcelona, en particular cuando el relato tiene voz de mujer que también es "otra". Enmarcado en una investigación más amplia sobre las estrategias de resiliencia y resistencia en los espacios extremos de la ciudad, el estudio de caso de la Calle Robadors incorpora la perspectiva de género en el replanteamiento de conceptos habituales en los estudios urbanos críticos, como "revanchismo" y "resistencia". El artículo aporta también la descripción del uso del documental como técnica narrativa en pro de una metodología no estigmatizante y basada en la acción comunicativa.

El actual marco político requiere la recuperación de los objetivos iniciales de los estudios culturales y la geografía cultural. Esto significa tomar en cuenta el carácter interdisciplinar y comprometido de la producción de conocimiento, la interacción de la cultura con los dominios económico y político y la articulación crítica entre espacio y cultura. Dentro de este marco se toma como punto de partida los objetivos fundacionales de los estudios culturales que nutrieron las geografías culturales de base neomarxista y el posterior giro cultural. A continuación, a través del trabajo de Nancy Fraser, se plantea una propuesta interpretativa que busca trazar un puente entre estas perspectivas de estudio y los requerimientos de las actuales políticas culturales. Por último y a partir de la lectura de Henri Lefebvre realizada por Edward Soja, se revisan las perspectivas críticas desarrolladas sobre el espacio y sus connotaciones culturales, o sobre la cultura y sus connotaciones espaciales. En las conclusiones se ofrece una agenda de líneas de investigación que surgen de la propuesta teórica presentada ; The current political framework requires the recovery of the initial purposes of cultural studies and cultural geography. It means to take into account the interdisciplinary and committed character of the production of knowledge, the interaction between culture and political and economic realms, and the critical articulation among space and culture. Within this framework the starting points of the paper are the foundational aims of cultural studies that nourished neomarxist cultural geographies and the subsequent cultural turn. Aftewards, through the work of Nancy Fraser, an interpretive proposal is presented that seeks to draw a bridge between these perspectives and the requests of present cultural politics. Finally and from the reading of Henri Lefebvre carried out by Edward Soja, critical perspectives on the space and their cultural connotations, or on the culture and their spatial connotations are reconsidered. Conclusions offer some research issues arisen from the theoretical proposal.

Este artículo pretende contribuir al estudio de las dificultades que encuentran los jóvenes a la hora de acceder a la esfera pública como actores políticos. Concretamente, se centra la atención en la cobertura en prensa y la repercusión en Twitter de la información relativa al proceso de disolución del Consejo de la Juventud de España (CJE). El texto da cuenta del análisis de contenido realizado sobre las noticias aparecidas en 22 periódicos españoles entre los años 2012 y 2014, así como del análisis del posicionamiento en Twitter de la campaña «Salvemos el CJE» durante el mismo período de tiempo. El principal objetivo es ver cómo la cuestión de la disolución del CJE es planteada desde la agenda mediática y desde la agenda ciudadana. En la mayoría de periódicos analizados, las medidas tomadas por el gobierno respecto al CJE son tratadas como un hecho noticioso puntual y de baja repercusión. La campaña online ofrece un discurso gestado desde los movimientos juveniles de base y plantea abiertamente la controversia acerca del sesgo y las consecuencias políticas de esta medida. La campaña gira entorno a la representación de la juventud en las instituciones públicas. Los resultados del estudio muestran cómo las crecientes oportunidades de visibilización que ofrecen las redes sociales no siempre comportan un mejor posicionamiento de un tema en la esfera pública ; This article aims to contribute to the study of the difficulties that young people face in accessing the public sphere as political actors. It looks at the press coverage and the Twitter activity surrounding the restructuring process and the subsequent dissolution of the Spanish Youth Council (Consejo de la Juventud de España - CJE). A content analysis was carried out on the news published in 22 newspapers between 2012 and 2014, as well as on the use of Twitter within the framework of the "Salvemos el CJE" campaign during the same period of time. The main objective of the analysis has been to see the prominence of this issue on both the media and citizens agendas. In most newspapers, the measures taken by the government vis-á-vis the CJE were treated as punctual news of peripheral importance. The online campaign, mainly orchestrated by youth grassroots movements, raised the controversy on the biased nature and the political consequences of this plan. The core of the campaign addressed the representation of young people in public institutions. The results of the study suggest that the increased potential for visibility offered by social media is not always maximized and does not necessarily alter the prominence of an issue in the public sphere

The proposed project aims to study the relations between inequalities and young people's ways of doing politics as well as to advance scenarios for future democratic models and political systems in Europe that are more inclusive for young people. It has three main objectives: (1) To provide systematic evidence on the ways in which inequalities are lived by young people and (re)acted upon, exploring the coping mechanisms which are embedded in young people's ways of doing politics; these coping mechanisms are manifested in multiple forms, i.e. as either political (dis)engagement and contestation online and offline or as (trans-)national democratic innovation and experimentation; (2) To advance knowledge on the conditions and causes underpinning young people's ways of doing politics; this involves an examination of their norms, values, attitudes, and behaviors regarding democracy, power, politics, policymaking, social and political participation (online and offline) and the organization of economic, social and private life in order to identify ways to strengthen youth political participation and engagement with democratic life in Europe; (3) To suggest a number of different future scenarios for the development of democracy and political participation in Europe, putting particular emphasis on implementing new democratic models that are more inclusive for young people especially those with fewer opportunities.
