Abstract

STECANELA, Nilda  and  CRAIDY, Carmen Maria. Intérpretes de si: narrativas identitárias de jovens em conflito com a lei. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2012, vol.18, n.36, pp.299-318. ISSN 1981-0431.

The reflections in this text are produced amongst the increasing interest in youth as the object of study of research in the social and human sciences. Our arguments are centered on the narrative identities of youth who are deprived of liberty, based on research conducted in a Center of Socio-educational Attention. The aim is to emphasize processes of identity of a specific group of youth, who narrate their everyday experiences from a place of confinement. From a microsociological perspective, youth’s words constitute privileged matter for the organization, analysis and interpretation of data constructed in the field, through the exchange of letters, echoing in the interpretations that we now offer.

Keywords : Identity Narratives; Writing About Oneself; Youth in Conflict with the Law; Youth Socialization Processes; Qualitative Research.
