Juventudes e políticas públicas na grande Aracaju : os coletivos mude e socorreria arte urbana

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis aims to analyze how two youth collectives (Coletivo Mude and Coletivo Socorreria Arte Urbana) react to the situation of public policies aimed at youth in the Greater Aracaju region. The present work is based on the hypothesis that today there are new forms of youth association and participation, due to a decrease in young people's confidence in party politics. Political action is now linked to the daily routine and to more localized guidelines or geared to the daily routine. The issues that are addressed in this work are the new modalities of political participation of youths and how the collectives studied are inserted in this context, questioning the availability of public policies aimed at the young public and the dialogue of the public authorities with them. The methodological procedures used were based on a review of the literature on youth, public policies, social movements and political participation, as well as semi-structured interviews with the leaders of the collectives. The analysis of the collected data occurred when collecting the transcripts of the interviews with the literature used in the theme, using the concepts of Bourdieu (2015), Dubar (1998), Campos and Sarrouy (2020), Augusto (2008), Delgado (2013) and others. After this stage of the research, it was possible to see that cultural initiatives can be seen as strategies for engaging youths on the part of the studied collectives that generate in the young perspectives of agency towards the community, as well as there is still little contact between the government and the youth collectives for the design and implementation of effective public policies.
