Me chama pelo nome : juventude vulnerável entre muros e esquinas do Rio e de Roma

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the institutional relationship between two groups of youths housed in institutions, in the cities of Rio de Janeiro and Rome. Through observation and interviews, in which they had access to narratives and trajectories of the subjects, it had been possible to show routes of conflict and closeness, and disagreements that occur through the concrete relations between institutionalized children and staff of the shelter. It constitutes a descriptive study of the singularities of the two scenarios presented, showing also some points of similarity and difference between the minori stranieri non accompagnati in Rome and boys sheltered from the streets, and children who are victims of neglect / family violence in Rio de Janeiro. Two groups of young people with different lives, with distinct processes , but that share the fact of their rupture career; the formation of weak links in their identities process of constructing; the lives tutored by an institution and whether these constitute the only means of connection with the world outside formal either through work or adopting a family. The objective was therefore to determine how they form institutional ties and how the youth housed interpret and question the social function of host in their lives and how this reflects on the daily relationship with the institution.
