Abstract
The present thesis has the purpose of analyzing the configuration of the youth as a new topic in the public-state agenda at a national level in the period 1982-1989, taking into account the exploration of different dimensions and a repertoire of actions that converged during the transition and the first years of democracy in our country. This thesis intends to fully comprehend the state production of the youth as a matter of public policy from a socio-historical and relational approach. The main purpose of this thesis is to unravel the existing articulations between the different processes and events that, at first sight, do not seem to relate to the youth dimension, but in fact, as this work will try to show, fully explain their emergence as a topic and object of publicstate treatment.
The different sections of this current thesis will specifically show the existing relations between the cycles of political mobilization of the youth that started with the Malvinas/Falklands Islands war (1982); the rearrangement of the rule of law and public institutions; the work recommendations for the youth encouraged by the different international and regional organisms; and the transformations that took place in the academic and professional field of the social sciences during the reorganization after the last civil-military dictatorship.
In line with this general objective, the first section portrays the main theoretical perspectives of the field research of the youth, the State and public policies, and the careers which deal with the configuration of the youth as an object of public policy shown in the thesis.
In the second section, a historical reconstruction of the process of creation of the first national institutions of the youth, which were specifically devoted to the approach and treatment of their issues, is made. This section also mentions the sociological conditions that are needed to institutionalize the youth matter, and the main characteristics that the function of this new statehood entails, identifying two big management cycles: 1983-1985 with the creation of the Youth Area at a national level, and 1987-1983 with the formation of the National Undersecretary of the Youth. Each of these cycles and temporalities are put in discussion with the peculiarities of the political climate of the period marked with the demands for democracy and the emergence of a re-foundational discourse in the country.
The third section focuses on a comprehensive approach of the professional, militant and academic careers developed by those people connected, directly or indirectly, to the formation of the youth matter as a new state agenda issue. The purpose of this section is to show the different ways in which the social-state work with the youths nurture and is nurtured by other knowledge areas and fields built around militant, professional, academic and administrative- bureaucratic experiences. The reconstruction of these individual and collective pathways allows an approximation to the different work ways of the youth as regards the topics and fields that have started to be considered as the youth. This reconstruction also allows a more comprehensive understanding of the paths that these actors have done, and how they have been involved with different areas (political parties, social organizations, regional or international organisms, universities, state agencies) that configure, in the context of democratic restoration, networks that contribute to a broader definition of a state agenda of the work with the youth.
The fourth section highlights the initiatives, programmes and public policies encouraged by the national organisms of the youth. The approach is organized by two big dimensions that deal with the main working guidelines as regards the origin of the youth matter in state areas: the promotion of the youth participation and the production of knowledge about the topic of the youth. The main interest is to show how those work orientations with the youth have points in common with the profiles of the actors that intervene in the state management of the youth; as well as the technical, militant, professional and academic knowledge that comes into play and restructures the state management of the youth.
Finally, the conclusion of this thesis recapitulates and systematizes the most important findings and contributions carried out throughout the investigation, while proposing reflections and follow up questions, which are going to be worked on in the PhD.
The current investigation proposed in this thesis has been fostered by the studies and investigations done by the Politics and Youth Studies Group (IIIG-UBA); the collective interest in the approach of the youth mobilization and activism in relation to the State; as well as the formation process of the first sectoral organisms of the youth during the transition and the return to the democracy in the country.
