Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Maristhela Bergamim de  and  ROSA, Edinete Maria. Youth violence and otherness. Temas psicol. [online]. 2010, vol.18, n.1, pp.113-121. ISSN 1413-389X.

Concerns about violence and its various contemporary manifestations involving youngsters in this country prompted us to write this historical, theoretical and conceptual paper, which aims at shedding light on the phenomenon of " Violence and Youth". Drawing on Castel, Chauí, Ianni and Wieviorka, we aimed at extending the comprehension of the phenomenon of violence by analyzing its roots, anchored in a capitalist society and its transformations caused by globalization, which present a new way of sociability based on individualism. Finally, it is emphasized that the process of overcoming the symbolic emptiness of contemporary society is based on rethinking the relations of otherness from those that are believed to be a return to Utopia.

Keywords : Youth; Violence; Otherness; Sociability; Utopia.
