Subvertendo o conceito de adolescência

Abstract

This article questions the concept of adolescence, placing it as a historical construction that begins in the contemporaneous society of globalized control, in which it serves the dominant purposes of homogenization and standardization of the social practices and of the ways of life. It also questions the development logic and presents the idea of youth as a possible strategy to face that logic.
