BERNARDIM, Márcio Luiz  and  SILVA, Monica Ribeiro da. YOUNG PEOPLE AND SECONDARY SCHOOL: FROM AN EXCLUDING SCHOOL INCLUSION TO YOUNG PEOPLE CONSIDERED NEITHER-NOR. Contrapontos [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.4, pp.688-704. ISSN 1984-7114.  https://doi.org/10.14210/contrapontos.v17n4.p688-704.

This study discusses the tensions that mark young people of the 21st century, and their interrelations with the school education process. The main theoretical trends that focus on the concept of youth are summarized, analyzing the limitations of the approaches that consider it an idealized subject devoid of historic materiality. In demonstrating the breadth and delimiting the understanding of the category “young people,” the conditions and expectations concerning Secondary School are discussed based on the the primary data collected, concluding with an analysis of the relations between school and work and the difficulties faced by young people faced with the school universe. Both the plurality that characterizes the condition of being a young person, and the forms of manifestation of subjectivity, project the dimensions of the challenges of understanding young people today, in their dynamic relationship with the school.

Keywords : Youth and Secondary School; Youth, school and work; Neither-nor young people.
