Já É quadrinho do morro: juventudes e complexidades periféricas

Abstract

The article proposes a reflection about methodological strategy of intervention guided by psychoanalysis and aimed at the young, black, male and peripheral population. It aims at inflecting on structural problems such as racial prejudice, juvenile’s mortality and criminality with a view to overcoming it. For this purpose, it analyzes the importance of the speech act that presents the teenagers in the urban scene, discusses the distance between the language of the adolescents and the public services, as well as its necessary change. It presents and analyzes the report of an experience of participatory construction of a comic book, through psychoanalytic conversations carried out in the territory, which addresses the difference between ‘asphalt’ and slum, revealing a complex binary that needs to be better explored to avoid false opposition. Finally, it presents assumptions that are essentials for a youth approach because considers its authorial gesture as necessary to write their presences in the city.
