Resumo: | ||||||||
This work investigates the way a group of teenagers who
live in the state
of Rio de Janeiro think their future, on what concerns
work, affection and family
life. The study had as its main presupposition to think
teenagers as subjects who,
on building their speech, articulate their own desires
with what their culture offers
as real and that their social interaction builds as
values. We approached the way in
which these subjects take notice of themselves as inserted
in their life-course,
which roles they assume or wish to assume and the
alternatives they think to deal
with matters which are put to them, concerning their
present and future choices.
The research made use of the socio-historical perspective,
which consists on the
presupposition that the way the person refers to reality
and acts on it is historically
built, in an essentially dialectic relationship with the
social environment. To
respond to this aim, we made a reflection on the concept
of adolescence, on the
concepts that socially organize it, and on specific
elements of contemporary
culture which goes around it. We chose Richard Sennett`s
discussions on the
dynamics of public and private and on the problem of
authority in
contemporaneity. The research developped with 19 teenagers
who live in the
cities of Rio de Janeiro and Petrópolis. We used semi-
structured interviews, which
were analyzed under the contents analysis method, by
Bardin . From our study,
we consider that the adolescents` views on their future,
particularly on what
concerns work and family, seem to experience often a
strong feeling of insecurity,
specially on what refers to choosing a profession. They
react to that trying to
promote their personal will and individual power as
supposedly capable of beating
any obstacle, in affection relations as well as in work.
However there is also a
movement of elaborating reality that manifests the
necessity of recovering values,
stable relationships and experiences of interpersonal
affect relations. Considering the presuppositions of our
theoretical approach, we take the subjects behavior not
only as an expression of a certain age, but as the
representation of a social reality
that claims matters like stability, reliability in
institutions and authority as
important issues in defining life projects and making them
come true.
