Reconhecimento e ato infracional na adolescência: reflexões iniciais

Abstract

This text is presented as a speculative theoretical work that intends to think about the infractions of adolescents involved with crime as a sometimes failed form of search for recognition. We believe that often, in youth, the offending act is fed by a circuit of segregation and search for recognition. Thus, we seek to articulate the phenomenon of violence among young people with the theme of social segregation by using, as a conceptual and comprehensive operator, the idea of recognition as formulated by Charles Taylor and Axel Honneth. We believe, therefore, that it is possible to listen to these acts in a differentiated way with inputs from psychoanalytic practice and a strong dialogue with the Social Sciences and Philosophy.
