Abstract

LEAO, Geraldo  and  CARRANO, Paulo César Rodrigues. O jovem Milton: a individuação entre a igreja e a educação social. Educ. Real. [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.03, pp.895-914. ISSN 0100-3143.

This article discusses the processes of transition to adulthood of contemporary youth based on a selected case from a study of the biographical trajectories of young participants in a social project. The empirical corpus consisted of in-depth biographical interviews, longitudinal monitoring of daily activities, drawing maps of routes for young people and a group discussion. The analysis of the young Milton’s trajectory shows his formulation of strategies to overcome existential situations. These strategies were possible through his process of learning that allowed him to constitute an individualized social capital, which propelled him beyond the objective conditions of his social context.

Keywords : Youth; Education; Biographical Trajectories.
