TIBURI, Marcia. Youthful werewolf: A biopolitical reading of adolescence. Educação. UNISINOS [online]. 2016, vol.20, n.2, pp.254-263. ISSN 2177-6210.  https://doi.org/10.4013/edu.2016.202.11.

The paper proposes a reading of "adolescence" as biopolitics matter from the theoretical topic of "bare life" as it appears in authors such as Benjamin, Adorno, Foucault and Agamben. Questioning the hermeneutic violence on the basis of the identity construction "teenager", the article seeks to show how the movie "An American Werewolf in London" (Landis, 1981) has expounded the relationship between adolescence and bare life. The werewolf is its allegory. Emancipating youth discursive yoke to which they are exposed as bare life constitutes its ethical impulse.
