Ser jovem na escola: experiência escolar de jovens numa escola pública da periferia da cidade de Maceió/AL

Abstract

Thinking about the relationships of young people with school and sociability among them in this space of socialization, in addition to the ideas about identities and memories, was that the perspective of youth as a sociological problem began to be thought and studied by me. We researched in the school institution the process of socialization and experiences of young subjects from peripheral neighborhoods of the city, and what is their mediation in the construction of identities based on the relationships established in this space and the cultural projects that are developed, or not. In this sense, our general objective was to investigate the juvenile sociability in schools in the periphery of the lower part of the city of Maceió/AL. We seek an understanding of what youth think about youth. How young people see the school institution and what it means to their lives. How they're building their identity processes. The present study is relevant because it contributes to the knowledge about sociability, identities and individual and cultural projects, adopting the category "place of memory" as support for the formation and construction of a collective and individual memory. The objective of the research was not to perform a comprehensive drawing of the young being in Alagoas, but to focus on the central axis of the proposed analysis: youth sociability in a school on the outskirts of the lower part of the city of Maceió and to know what these subjects think about the school as support and contribution to their future projects and as a "place of memory". Youth was previously seen as something that, at the end of school life, the person would end up getting rid of, as a temporary stage in a movement for adulthood. This orderly passage of yore has now become fraught with uncertainty.
