Abstract

The paper, a part from a doctoral dissertation in progress, aims to present the partial results of a survey conducted in 2013 in an executing unit of socio educative means of a mid open system in Porto Alegre / RS. First we present, in short, some of the key concepts of Axel Honneth to understand the theory of recognition and thus the ways in which the teenager passing through the Juvenile Justice System is reified by the agents of that system. From there, and from the narratives of adolescents, we focus on Michel Foucault’s resistance concept to understand how, despite the change in legislation from 1990 and the adoption by Brazil, the international conventions concerning the subject adolescents in conflict with the law, the officials of the juvenile justice system continue reifying these teenagers, making them a number of process or action to segregate them from society. However, it is clear that teenagers can reinvent themselves, within the system itself, resisting bonds and creating new modes of subjectivity.
