In this paper, we argue that such approaches fall short in grasping how groups with blended styles of relationship with politics assess their political ownership. This became apparent when, in the context of European elections, the rise of extreme right wing in Europe and intensification of austerity in Portugal, we discussed the circumstances framing youth\u2019s relationship with politics with 40 youngsters outside regular school. Quantitative data from regular-school students on the same topic were used to trigger focus groups and later used by participants to interview their peers. Participants displayed \u2018ordinary\u2019 approaches to engagement, attributing an unexpected relevance to vote. Socioeducational disadvantages and self-blaming perspectives were actively contested, and the gap between youth and politics is to be filled by a normative equipment, with the school indicated as a fundamental, structured and unbiased locus of political education.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1103308820987996","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,20]],"date-time":"2021-02-20T01:43:07Z","timestamp":1613785387000},"page":"437-455","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["The Gap Between Youth and Politics: Youngsters Outside the Regular School System Assessing the Conditions for Be(com)ing Political Subjects"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5490-1187","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carla","family":"Malafaia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research and Intervention in Education (CIIE-FPCEUP), University of Porto, Porto, Portugal."}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4309-5906","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tiago","family":"Neves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research and Intervention in Education (CIIE-FPCEUP), University of Porto, Porto, Portugal."}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9063-3773","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel","family":"Menezes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research and Intervention in Education (CIIE-FPCEUP), University of Porto, Porto, Portugal."}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1103308820987996","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S175577391300009X"},{"key":"bibr2-1103308820987996","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13676261.2017.1333583"},{"key":"bibr3-1103308820987996","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1475-6765.12046"},{"key":"bibr4-1103308820987996","volume-title":"Political and civic engagement: Multidisciplinary perspectives","author":"Barrett M.","year":"2015"},{"key":"bibr5-1103308820987996","volume-title":"Learning democracy in school and society.
