Abstract

Although youth conflict has been extensively referenced and analyzed as a study problem, such analysis has usually dismissed the contributions of studies on youth in general. In the present article, therefore, research on other dimensions of youth interactions, not only the ones regarding the penal system, is proposed in order to understand the phenomenon in its complexity. The present work is part of an unpublished doctoral thesis where the case of the “Youth Collective for Our Rights” of the city of Córdoba (Argentina) was selected as a case study. In the same fashion, an analysis on young people as urban citizens, individuals who construct their group identities outside those activities defined as illegal was carried out, where political participation is presented as relevant and with particular characteristics. The new social movement they integrate is characterized from the perspective of the young individuals interviewed, from the retrieval of the theoretical debates around the subject in the last decades in Argentina. To contribute to the understanding of their heterogeneity is proposed, especially of the more recent ones, where forms of feedback between the old and the new forms of politics are presented.
