JUVENTUDE DO CAMPO E POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS: ALGUMAS REFLEXÕES DE UM TEXTO EM CONSTRUÇÃO

Abstract

This article is result of a research work of a subgroup of research on Youths of rural areas of the Project "Catalogue of Youths: (Re) cognizing inequalities and diversities", which is being developed by an interdisciplinary group of professors and students of the State Unviersity of Londrina. The purpose of this paper is to map, even in a preliminary form, the several interpretations and concepts of present Brazilian rural areas. Another focus of our analysis intends to explain how modern sciences build the concept of youth as a social category and how this category can help us presently theorize about the rural area and the youth of rural areas. Finally we tried to identify which are the tensions faced by the youths of rural areas and how public policies are intervening in in this social segment.
