Abstract

COLACO, Veriana de Fátima Rodrigues et al. Approaches of the Youth and Violence Field in the Periphery of Fortaleza. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.2, pp. 474-493. ISSN 1808-4281.  http://dx.doi.org/10.12957/epp.2021.61052.

This article aims to bring reflections on urban violence and violation of fundamental rights as events that have marked the daily lives of adolescents and young people living in the outskirts of Fortaleza. It also brings a discussion about the methodological challenges of participatory research with this audience. The state of Ceará and, especially, its capital, has had the highest rates of homicide among adolescents in recent years, and rates are growing among girls. Although interventions by national and Latin American Human Rights bodies have taken place, the judicial and legislative powers are mobilized, based on lawsuits filed by entities that defend and guarantee the rights of children, adolescents and youth, offering palliative responses to the population, and, mainly, they to propose measures of control and repression, which ensure the strengthening of the neoliberal political project. In this scenario, it is important to reflect on the effects of the territorial dynamics of violence on the life of young people from the periphery, the devices that make up the network of control / coping with violence and its impacts on the construction of theoretical and methodological lenses, that equip the researchers to manage knowledge production in the youth-violence field.

Keywords : violence; territory; youth; necropolitics.
