Resumo:
This research aims to raise a debate about youth experiences and practices in a
periphery of the city of Campina Grande, Paraíba, bringing reflections about
youth as a category to be understood by an ethnographic perspective. The main
objective is to understand the experiences of the young residents of the
neighborhood, especially when it comes to leisure activities. In this sense, a
perspective was adopted which focuses on the analysis of youth through
reflection categories such as circuit piece and path (MAGNANI, 2007) from the
ethnography of the spaces that are occupied and (re) meanings by the young
people. For this, it analyzed the interactions among young people, and also the
theme of the periphery and their spaces, their interdependence networks with
other groups and other places in the city, which brings us to the teachings of Da
Matta (2003), who consider that many spaces and temporalities coexist
simultaneously, and time (reality) and space fruits of a social construction. Thus,
the city as a network that challenges the actors in their multiple dimensions, calls
us to understand the transformations used in previously designed spaces. In this
research, it is punctuated the relationship of young people and the establishment
of sociability in Pedregal spaces. Moreover, they highlighted some issues such
as social exclusion and the outskirts of conceptualization as important elements
to situate this work.
