Analysing young people’s involvement in an ultras group that has opened its own self-man- aged social centre in Bologna (Italy), the article explores the relationship between young people and the public sphere, focusing on the relationship between social marginalization and civic-political participation. Participant observations and biographical interviews have been conducted with the young supporters taking part in the ultras social centre between 2015 and 2017 with the aim to analyse how participation emerges in the face of a protracted condition of social marginalization and stigmatization. Drawing on De Certeau’s distinction between «tactics» and «strategies», the article analyses the process of civic-political activation of the young people through the ultras centre as a practice of everyday resistance.

Abstract
Analysing young people’s involvement in an ultras group that has opened its own self-man- aged social centre in Bologna (Italy), the article explores the relationship between young people and the public sphere, focusing on the relationship between social marginalization and civic-political participation. Participant observations and biographical interviews have been conducted with the young supporters taking part in the ultras social centre between 2015 and 2017 with the aim to analyse how participation emerges in the face of a protracted condition of social marginalization and stigmatization. Drawing on De Certeau’s distinction between «tactics» and «strategies», the article analyses the process of civic-political activation of the young people through the ultras centre as a practice of everyday resistance.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
