Description
Este trabajo propone un recorrido por una serie de investigaciones que se ocuparon
de indagar los sentidos que los jóvenes otorgan al estudio y al trabajo. Si bien no
podría decirse que constituye un “estado del arte” porque seguramente han quedado
excluidos múltiples análisis valiosos en relación al tema, si podría afirmarse que
consiste en una sistematización de algunas producciones. Éstas han sido
seleccionadas desde un recorte temporal, ya que se abarca autores que se dedicaron a
estudiar el tema a partir de los años 90, geográfico, porque principalmente se trata
de investigaciones latinoamericanas y disciplinar, ya que los estudios provienen
especialmente de la sociología, la educación y la antropología. Sin embargo, quizá la
característica principal que comparten las investigaciones aquí seleccionadas es que
poseen una misma perspectiva epistemológica: la consideración de la categoría
juventud como una construcción social. De este modo, los estudios reunidos en este
artículo piensan a las juventudes en plural, considerando que “ser joven” se define
en relación con una multiplicidad de personas, grupos, actores, colectivos cuyas
características y propiedades no se agotan en descripciones homogeneizantes sobre
la juventud, sino que destacan la multiplicidad de contextos, actores y las maneras
en que las juventudes son producidas.
Las producciones aquí presentes invitan a la reflexión, a abrir el diálogo entre
quienes hoy están produciendo conocimiento en la región y pretende ser un aporte
para continuar reflexionando desde el intercambio y el diálogo con otros.
This work proposes a journey through a series of investigations that were dedicated explore the senses that young people give to study and work. Although it could not be said that it constitutes a "state of the art" because surely many valuable analyzes have been excluded in relation to the subject, if it could be affirmed that it consists of a systematization of some productions. These have been selected from a temporal cut, since it covers authors who were dedicated to studying the subject from the 90s, geographically, because mainly it is about Latin American research and discipline, since the studies come especially from sociology, education and anthropology. However, perhaps the main feature shared by the research selected here is that they have the same epistemological perspective: the consideration of the youth category as a social construction. In this way, the studies gathered in this article think of the youth in plural, considering that "being young" is defined in relation to a multiplicity of people, groups, actors, collectives whose characteristics and properties are not exhausted in homogenizing descriptions about youth they highlight the multiplicity of contexts, actors and the ways in which youths are produced. The productions presented here invite to reflection, to open dialogue between those who are now producing knowledge in the region and intends to be a contribution to continue reflecting from the exchange and dialogue with others
