Local youth, between the crisis and the collective action
Main Article Content
Abstract
This reflective paper attempts to tackle the crisis of meaning –and material crisis- that faced contemporary societies. As a starting point to understand these crises will be considered a variety of voices from different social studies researchers who have contributed with some conceptual framework. Finally, the paper outlines how the collective action would be a field to counteract the determinant of these crises. This reflection is based on a research study entitled “Popular Organizations and Youth Subjectivities: the Case of Kennedy” conducted by the Observatory of Processes of Communitarian Organization (OPOC- in Spanish)” at Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios that will be published in the year 2013.
