Abstract

One hundred and ten years after the birth of David Riesman (1909–2002), and almost 70 after the publication of The Lonely Crowd (1950), this chapter revisits the main contributions of such a work for a current reading of youth in a networked society. Anchored on data collected from a representative sample of students in secondary schools in Évora, a city in the south of Portugal (Europe), the chapter makes use of statistical analysis to discuss if and how today society impels young individuals to experience loneliness, by specifically referring to those integrating, avoiding or engaging “the crowd”. Ultimately, the paper seeks to advance understanding on the contemporary and globalized relations between emotions and loneliness, as Riesman wisely put it.
