GUERRA, Andrea Máris Campos; MOREIRA, Jacqueline de Oliveira; MALTA, Amanda Lessa    GALHARDO, Leandro. The procedural family: Thinking about the filiation and transmission in contemporary times. []. , 19, 1, pp.206-222. ISSN 1808-4281.

The societal changes concerning the modes and customs related to family compositions raise new questions in terms of how filiation and transmission operate nowadays within "new" family configurations. Through the analysis of the narrative memoirs of slum-dwelling youths in Brazil, who have and who have not been involved in criminal activities, the hypothesis developed in this article claims that the contemporary family operates its space of transmission through a processual continuist logic in which there is no longer an articulating core that could generate semantic unit. Thus, transmission happens through the composition of different logics that, in a processual continuity, affect the object of desire from its point of impossibility of translation.
