Abstract

With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of young people were no longer able to enjoy Lisbon´s night. As a result, young people were not able to forget their everyday problems through the consumption practices of nocturnal leisure. In this article we explore some alternatives that were put in place for young people to enjoy leisure time during the (post-)pandemic. Here, and using the case study of one young alternative group located in front of the bar Antù, one of the most vivid night leisure place of Pink Street, Lisbon, we will: i. longitudinally review the measures impacting the night industry and their effects on the young alternative group; ii: describe the way in which the group of alternative young people appropriated the festive urban night spaces during the pandemic. Here, we present part of the critical ethnographic data collected during 2020-2022, excerpts from interviews with some members of the young alternative group and a deep documental review of legal and news published during the same period. We end up illustrating the dissatisfaction felt by the group of alternative youngsters with the measures imposed by the government, as they tend to racialize, stigmatize, reprimand, and punish this group of youngsters.
