Juventude e participação: novas formas de atuação juvenil na cidade de São Paulo

Abstract

This work addresses the new forms of youth participation thematic, analyzing the channels produced by the recent debate on youth public policies in Brasil and the established relationship to cultural collective s and juveniles experiences organized in this first millennium s decade. The research focus is the action of non institutionalized cultural collectives on the São Paulo s periphery and its linkages with some of the public municipal authorities actions for young people. Apart from traditional forms of participation, through political parties and student activism, other forms of youth action have successfully appeared in recent years with a not institutionalized militancy, which is organized around cultural, ecological issues and others. Furthermore, since the beginning of the millennium, is growing a debate in the country about the youth public policies, that generated the creation of new dialogue channels with public authorities, such as forums, councils and conferences. Using recent researches on participation of youth and, for the theoretical frame, latinamerican cultural studies, this work indicates that is necessary to understand the culture as a daily practice and policy as slanted powers operating across in these practices, producing new senses, new rearrangements and new emancipation opportunities. For that, is analyzed the experience of participation in a youth collective from eastern city zone of São Paulo, inserted into a broader mobilization of peripheral culture that has been spread by metropolitan region in recent years. This peripheral art mobilization has produced new institutionalities with public municipal authorities, over all, through a public culture policy toward the youth collectives, created from the recent debate on youth in the public city agenda
