RAITZ, Tania Regina; CORTI, Franciele  and  ALEXANDRINO, Tarsilla Noemi Bertoli. Identity(s) in movement: collective actions and multiplicity in youth. Rev. psicol. polít. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.55, pp. 750-762. ISSN 2175-1390.

This text is a theoretical essay that aims to discuss issues related to the concept of identity or identity( ies), from the perspective of some authors of Sociology and Critical Social Psychology, directing to collective actions and youth trajectories. The elaborations on identity have as their main essential contribution the work of Alberto Melucci (2006), composing a theoretical scrutiny of reference in the study carried out. When we reflect on identity in motion and the multiplicity of youth trajectories, we realize through the specialized and analyzed literature that we cannot deny the multiple contexts that young people use to make their school and work decisions and strategies. Youth trajectories are oscillating, non-linear, characterized by ruptures, a series of lived transformations and rearrangements, as well as the very constitution of identity(ies). Young people experience situations of experimentation in their personal and professional trajectories in a movement that is circulating, fluid and uncertain.

Keywords : Identity(ies); Collective actions; Youth trajectories.
