A experiência juvenil no processo de luta pela moradia em Uberlândia - MG (2012-2015)

Abstract

The present work is the result of the Master's Degree in Education research of the PostGraduation Program in Education of the Federal University of Uberlândia, linked to the line of research Work, Society and Education seeking to investigate how young people from an urban occupation - the neighborhood Élisson Prieto - experience the youth experience under the condition of struggle for housing. We seek to investigate, under the condition of occupation, what are the limits and pressures imposed on the youth experience as it is lived, thought and felt. From the dialogue between historical materialism and the sociology of youth, we make use of a predominantly qualitative approach combining quantitative research techniques - such as survey and analysis of institutional data - with qualitative sources, especially oral history. In this dialogue, we opted for the concept of youth experience in relation to the youth condition and situation experience of youth's sociology, which captures the dimension lived and thought, on unity between social being and social conscience, on the relationship between subject, context and process. The hypothesis of the study is that the experiences of youth come from class situations, providing common experiences in which youth diversity expresses itself. Thus, we present the main debates about the social category youth and the possible contributions to this research going to the analysis of fundamental relations of reproduction of social being and sociability, as housing, family relationships, work, education, cultural, religious, and political violence as limits and pressures determinant on youth experience and the possibilities found for such experience, re-signified by the experience of the urban occupation.
