| Abstract | Over the last several decades, one category of the population has been particularly targeted by social intervention in Quebec as elsewhere: youth. This thesis aims to examine the meaning and social relevance of intervention practices directed to youth, through a reflexive and exploratory study of their foundations as they are perceived and explained by practitioners themselves. The study involves a series of case studies carried out using an approach that blends clinical and critical sociology. By seeking out a number of practitioners’ interpretations of their practical experience, within institutional, community and employability milieux, we elicit their conceptions of the social, or the “implicit sociology”, that underlies their practices. Four ideal-typical conceptions are identified systemic, informational, normative and clinical which have as their objectives, respectively, emancipation, social inclusion, socialization and human support. The analysis in terms of “implicit sociology” explores the double question of meaning according to these social agents and of function according to the processes that are fostered by intervention. It allows for an articulation of the ways in which these social agents conceptualize their practices and how these practices are inscribed in the social world. We find that social intervention practices targeting youth engage not only in social transformation, through opening up spaces for freedom and understanding and through the offer of human support, but also, in “normalization” or social control, by constituting the labour market and the adult world as realities to which youth must adapt. |
