CHILD PSYCHIC SUFFERING IN THE CONTEMPORANEITY: INTERSECTIONS BETWEEN THE PRECEPTS OF SEMICULTURE AND RISK SOCIETY. Eccos Rev. Cient. [online]. 2023, n.65, e23302. Epub Feb 16, 2024.

The present study sought to identify the main implications that semi-culture and the individualization process have in triggering children's psychic suffering, guided by bibliographic research in light of the theoretical foundations of the Critical Theory of Society and the Theory of Risk Society, using the thoughts of Theodor W. Adorno and Ulrich Beck as the essence of the discussion. From this, it was identified that social organization, semi-culture, and individualization contribute to the development of psychological impasses at any time in life, but especially in childhood, as it is a period of identity construction. The individualization of social risks is correlated to the process of alienation - subsidized by semi-culture -, which intends to dissociate the contradictions and subjective impasses experienced by the individual from their context and socio-historical causes. Subjects are under a constant imperative of self-assessment and personal accountability, reducing the possibilities of re-signification of suffering and collective responses.
