EDUCATION AND AGENCY IN URBAN PERIPHERIES: THE PRODUCTION OF LABOR ALTERNATIVES BY YOUNG ADULTS
Keywords:
Young adults, Education, Labor, Cultural Practices, Urban PeripheriesAbstract
This paper aims to approach the working conditions of youngsters to promote a
discussion regarding position taking vis-à-vis the production of working alternatives related to current
juvenile conditions, especially in relation to the fruition of cultural practices in urban peripheries. The
data gathered for this study comes from the incursion into different socially vulnerable places in Porto
Alegre, Brazil, between 2013 and 2016, when narrative interviews were conducted, in which the focus
was the scrutiny of practices produced by the dwellers of the visited neighborhoods. Martuccelli’s
contributions are the main references for the analyses conducted regarding the “social trials” of labor and
related supports. Production of cultural capital among peers is observed, which has also supported the
accomplishment of the occupation of social spaces related to the “school shape”. Therefore, programs
of education integralization, initially experienced as support, are turned into an action field via agency
employed by the youngsters.
