This paper will focus in urban youth’s strategies of political identification and participation in Algeria. It will analyze Algerian Youth’s participation in debates on national identity and their use, modification and transformation of political representations in the last decade (after Civil War) as well as the current context of popular pro-democracy movements of Arab Spring. It will be answer to: How do Algerian Youth respond to sociopolitical representations? How do they transform them? To do that we’ll first analyze the tensions of historic and new social and political representations. Afterwards we will examine Algerian youth’s participation in current popular movements for democratic change. What are the messages articulated by Algerian youth in the current demonstrations – since January 2011? Do youth’s vindications coincide with other social movements’ (as Syndicate and political parties) or can be distinguished as ‘youth’s specific’? Can we distinguish between articulated messages by youth students and non-students’ demonstrations (i.e. Jobless youth)? Are there different kind of messages of resistance or diverse political representations in youth movements?
