Abstract

BERTOL, Carolina Esmanhoto  and  SOUZA, Mériti de. Subjective application of the Law and adolescents in socio-educational measures. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2016, vol.16, n.spe, pp. 1220-1238. ISSN 1808-4281.

The paper focuses on the law's subjective application by using a conceptual outline of the symbolic law in the psychoanalytic level as the one that places the subject in the culture, and law in legal and social fields that regulates individuals' actions who share the same social network. It refers to psychoanalytic and psychosocial frameworks to analyze senses of illegal acts committed by a teenager who complies with socio-educational measures in the State of Paraná, and considering his relationship with symbolic and legal laws. From the analysis performed, it is possible to understand that infractions do not claim a lack of subjective application of the law, but rather represents the possibility for adolescents to share the ideals proposed by the liberal capitalist logic. In other words, the liberal capitalist logic produces unique demands among themselves: comply with legal laws and achieve ideals of social and financial success. Thus, to reach social ideals adolescents may violate the legal law; however, that infraction does not concern with the lack of subjective description of the symbolic Law.

Keywords : laws; subjectivity; infraction; psychoanalysis; measures.
