Tribalization
Tribalization (“ tribe formation”) describes in folklore the formation of communities on the basis of common cultural roots and characteristics or political and religious interests (e.g. within a multi-ethnic state ).
In sociology, tribalization describes the development of youth scenes (“tribal cultures”) as a result of shared (e.g. musical) preferences and leisure activities (see scenes , youth cultures , peer groups ). The split into interest groups takes place deliberately or randomly and results in the disintegration of a previous community system. Thiele / Taylor speak of over 400 different youth cultures.
“ Closely related to this is the trend of more and more young people to spend their free time in groups of their own age, which they see as crucial impulses for shaping their lives, where they experience human closeness, security and the opportunity to communicate. "
However, this can also lead to violent or racist structures, in which “different 'tribes' emerge in the youth cultures that not only occupy certain territories, but also defend them against foreign 'intruders' with aggressive means.” This is where the term is coined Maffesoli (1988).
