Key Points

This research aims to explore the everyday culture experiences of adolescents in depopulation-risk areas and how cultural infrastructure conditions affect cultural capital formation.
Conducted a qualitative photovoice study with six high school students from J City from August to October 2024.
Data included participants' photographs, descriptions, focus group discussions, and one-on-one interviews.
Analyzed data using thematic analysis based on Braun and Clarke (2006).
Identified three main themes: meanings and boundaries of cultural life, sensations of discomfort, and cultural practices within constraints.
Participants conceptualized cultural life beyond institutional settings, incorporating personal tastes, emotional satisfaction, and self-expression, with notable gender differences.
Despite structural limitations, participants actively engaged with local spaces and digital media to organize their cultural practices.
