FERNANDEZ, Natalia Soledad. Constructions of youth and contemporary militant trajectories in parishes in Gran Buenos Aires (Argentina). Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.169-198. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.18209.
This article analyzes the constructions of youth produced in the Acción Católica Argentina (Argentinian Catholic Action) organization and their link with the trajectories of militant youth living in parishes of Gran Buenos Aires. Field materials produced between 2016 and 2018 are analyzed using a qualitative methodological approach that consists of: in-depth interviews with Catholic youth; participant observation records from parish and national Argentinian Catholic Action events; and the analysis of institutional documents. In Argentinian Catholic Action, tensions were identified between the definitions of youth produced by the institution and young people’s own trajectories. Young people experience ways of «being» and «living» that are different from those proposed by the Argentinian Catholic Action and that respond to the social and cultural changes produced in Argentine society in recent decades.
