| Abstract | This thesis is result of a research undertaken between 2004 and 2008 in the ci ty of Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil . Looking at the transition of youth to adulthood, from the perspective of the l ife course, i t seeks to bring up questions that contribute to an Anthropology Life Ages. The first question asks: if the ages are relat ional , how is this considered theoretically? This aspect is also present in the f ieldwork and needs to be worked out methodologically. Thus the research does not fai l to consider the ways in which the age of the author of the thesis was present not only in the fieldwork but also in the readings of the data and the bibliography relat ive to the theme. From interviews done with young people with diverse experiences on their way to assuming adulthood and with their parents, i t was possible to perceive that age assumes diverse meanings, going beyond the sense of phase or stage of the l ife course that a chronology perspective might try of imprint . Also the meanings given to youth, adulthood and l ife are diverse and change accordingly as the subjects move through the l ife course. An at tempt to understand the transit ion to adulthood, in this way, ends up being directed not only by events such as leaving the parental home, marriage or insert ion in the marketplace (that has both diverse meanings for the individuals and puts them in dilemmas of different kinds), but also by the subjects expectations with respect to their trajectories and their own view of them. Instead of making classifications of these experiences, emphasis is given to the narratives about the experiences bringing a rich diversi ty to the study. Some notions commonly art iculated in studies about youth and adulthood, l ike responsibil i ty and maturi ty are considered from the point of view of how the interviewees understood these notions – which revealed various dimensions, such as the idea that responsibil i ty is something that one has throughout one’s whole l ife, or that maturi ty is different than adulthood, because i t is what one learns through experience. Regarding the notion of transit ion, although i t seems pert inent to think about the crucial moment of the young interviewees l ives who feel that they are in “a crisis” or at “a crossroads”, our data reveal that al l of l ife is perceived as a transit ion in which change and new challenges are not the privilege of any one age. Key-words: youth, adulthood, l ife course, transit ion. |
