ANALIZANDO LA CULTURA JUVENIL Y LLEVANDO PREGUNTAS PARA LA EDUCACIÓN

Abstract

This article is part of a PhD research entitled "Youth culture and military culture: encounters and disagreements in high school education", by the Center for Multireferential Biographical Studies in Education (CEMBE/UDE), directed by Prof. Dr. Charlie Palomo. The presentation in this article, which focuses on youth culture, shows an essential part of the conceptual framework of the doctoral thesis. In principle, it is pointed out that youth culture is not unique and homogeneous. The boys form subgroups with their own identity, style, configuration, liturgies... Rappers, graffiti artists, funk artists, taggers, punks, samba dancers, forrozeiros, they are not the same, therefore, considering and treating them uniformly is a first source of conflict detected. It is presented as a necessary starting point, to recognize their own identity and study them as lifestyles. They have their daily practices based on explicit and implicit principles, they contain their values that should be recognized, valued and respected. They have their forms of entertainment or hobbies. They choose and cultivate their own routes of knowledge appropriation. The various generations born and raised in the digital world approach and use technologies in a different and particular way. These, among other characteristics, make up a complex profile to which education can hardly give a single and simple answer, valid for everyone. And this is the axis of the deepening that is exposed here and that will be carried out, later, in the form of questions for education.
