Youth narratives and reflective socialization

What do young people say when they talk about media?

Abstract

This article condenses some reflections about the youth condition (DAYRREL, 2007), from the interactions with students of 8th year of a public school in Niterói city, in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro. During a production and critical reading of the media workshop, in which discussions about the functioning and functions of journalism in society, we were able to observe how students propose their demands on the school and express, in different ways, their particular way of “produce youth” (DUBET, 194), in their narratives themselves.
