TRANCOSO, Alcimar Enéas Rocha  e  OLIVEIRA, Adélia Augusta Souto. Aspects of youth concept in humanities and social sciences: analyses of theses, dissertations and articles from 2007 to 2011. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2016, vol.11, n.2, pp.278-294. ISSN 1809-8908.

In recent years, the theme of youth has become increasingly relevant within the political, cultural and academic fields. Using the metasynthesis method, a theoretical reflection regarding the concept of youth was performed by researching Brazilian dissertations, theses and scientific articles in humanities and applied social sciences, published between 2007 and 2011. The producing process of this concept, its disruptions, stabilities and challenges were analyzed. The relationship between the terms and concepts of youth/young and adolescence/adolescent are described here. The young condition as a group that may or may not have intrinsic attitudes, the youth as a socio-historical homogeneity, and the relationship between both categories youth and time are also discussed. The results show that the concept of youth is polysemic, interdisciplinary, and restricted to the social-historical-cultural reality of human experience. It is also emphasized the prominence of the identity process, and of the generational overlap established within the societies.

Palavras-chave : Youth; Metasynthesis; Concept; Socio-Historical reality.
