Projovem Adolescente em Venda Nova do Imigrante-ES e a vida dos jovens : conexões, capturas, escapes e apropriações

Abstract

This dissertation aimed to follow the effects that Projovem Adolescente in the city of Venda Nova do Imigrante-ES has produced in the lives of young people that integrate the service and how they have appropriated this space. What are the interferences and the resonances produced in the course of life of this young people participating the Projovem Adolescente? The research methodology included reading documents related to national social welfare policy, CRAS data of the municipality about Projovem Adolescente and conversations with six young people who participated in the first collective of the service in the period 2010/2011. Starting from the contribution of authors like Michel Foucault, we trace an analysis in order to discuss the interference of biopower in policies to youth, the historical-cultural crossings present in the city, pointing the resistances and escapes of young people to the attempts of totalizing captures their lives. All the path of this research was conducted by a methodological strategy in which these young people speak for themselves, deconstructing hegemonic guardianship relations and existential imprisonment that keep focusing on youth.
