Characteristics such as the profile, themes and principal activities, how the organizations fit into the public sector and their participation in social networks are observed. Thus common differences and similarities which serve as a means of indentification, take as reference the symbolic cartography of Boaventura of Sousa Santos. Since there are relatively few studies relating to civil society of Rio Grande do Norte and in particular, Natal, the starting point was the setting up of a database allowing for a general overview. Hence a panorama of the organizations could be observed: where they are located, when they were formed how they operate and their relationships with other sectors (the state, the market and civil society) in addition to basic facts and location. The principal lines of enquiry were a) the OSC which operate with the public comprising adolescents and young people and b) the OSC operating or having branches in four suburbs on the periphery of the western administrative region of the city (Felipe Camar?o, Bom Pastor, Cidade Nova and Guararapes).The present report has identified the impacts of ongoing social transformation caused by the process of globalization ,by the various currently contested political projects which are as follows: the project of neoliberal globalized capitalism(hegemonic)and the project of social emancipation (contra-hegemonic),how these are seen from the local viewpoint and how they influence the profiles and operation of the cartographic organizations. The area of the OSC is a heterogenous one with political, cultural and ideological strains, characterized by its infiltration, its local/global and multicultural dimensions. As civil organizations are fundamental in the processes of transformation within society, and following the idea of social emancipation referred to by Boaventura Santos, the enquiry classified the organizations according to the afore-mentioned characteristics, establishing eight types of associations. These different types and their respective characteristics were analysed from a related perspective using the mechanisms of symbolic cartography: scale, projection and symbolisation. The theoretical references underpinning this research arise from the debate on civil society which becomes redefined as a result of the dispute involving the two afore-mentioned political projects. These demand the theoretical application of the comprehension of heterogeneity in its diversity and complexity together with the idea of social emancipation.The main authors consulted were Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Antonio Gramsci, through the texts translated by Marco Aurelio Nogueira; Carlos Nelson Coutinho and Alberto Rivera ,who supported the construction of the types of associations identified by the local reality.Finally this research enabled an understanding of the current form of social action happening in the Space of the Four Neighbourhoods (Espa?o dos 4 Bairros) and how the distinct profiles analysed together with the ares of operation of the organizations define their emancipatory potencials within the following two poles: regulation/adaptation and emancipation/transformation / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo realizar uma cartografia social com vistas a mapear e caracterizar as organiza??es da sociedade civil (OSC) que atuam com adolescentes e jovens da Regi?o Oeste da cidade de Natal, observando-se suas caracter?sticas quanto: ao perfil, temas, atividades principais, formas de inser??o no espa?o p?blico e participa??o em redes sociais, buscando identificar as diferen?as e semelhan?as que as singularizam e identificam. Uma vez que existem poucos estudos sobre o universo da sociedade civil do Rio Grande do Norte e de Natal, o ponto de partida foi a constru??o de um banco de dados objetivando construir uma vis?o geral, panor?mica dessas organiza??es - onde est?o, quando foram criadas, o que fazem, como se relacionam com os demais segmentos (Estado, Mercado, Sociedade Civil) - al?m de dados b?sicos formais e de localiza??o. Os principais recortes adotados foram: a) as OSC que atuam com o p?blico adolescente e jovem; e b) as OSC que atuam ou t?m sede em quatro bairros perif?ricos da Regi?o Administrativa Oeste da cidade (Felipe Camar?o, Bom Pastor, Cidade Nova e Guarapes). O presente estudo identificou como os impactos das transforma??es sociais em curso, motivadas pelos processos da globaliza??o, se manifestam no espa?o local e influenciam nos perfis e atua??o das organiza??es cartografadas. O campo das OSC ? um campo heterog?neo, com marcas pol?ticas, culturais e ideol?gicas, caracterizado pela sua capilaridade, sua dimens?o local/global e multicultural. Sendo as OSC um sujeito social de import?ncia fundamental nos processos de transforma??o, e tendo a id?ia de Emancipa??o Social em Boaventura de Sousa Santos, como refer?ncia, a pesquisa realizou uma classifica??o das organiza??es conforme o conjunto de caracter?sticas, j? mencionadas, estabelecendo oito tipos de associativismo. Esses tipos, e suas respectivas caracter?sticas foram analisadas numa perspectiva relacional, a partir dos mecanismos da Cartografia Simb?lica: a escala, a proje??o e a simboliza??o. Os referenciais te?ricos, que deram luz a presente pesquisa, foram: o debate sobre Sociedade Civil e a id?ia de Emancipa??o Social que se redefinem em meio ? disputa entre dois projetos pol?ticos - o projeto do capitalismo neoliberal globalizado (hegem?nico) e o projeto da emancipa??o social (contra-hegem?nico) - e exigem um esfor?o te?rico de compreens?o de sua heterogeneidade, diversidade e complexidade. Os autores centrais foram Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Antonio Gramsci, atrav?s das leituras trazidas por Marco Aur?lio Nogueira, Carlos Nelson Coutinho, al?m de Alberto Rivera que ap?ia a constru??o dos tipos de associativismo identificados na realidade local. Finalmente, a pesquisa permitiu conhecer como se configura, no presente momento, o campo social da sociedade civil que atua no Espa?o dos 4 Bairros e como os distintos perfis analisados e as ?reas de atua??o das organiza??es definem os potenciais emancipat?rios das mesmas, fazendo com que estas se movimentem ou se situem entre dois p?los: o p?lo da regula??o/adapta??o e o p?lo da emancipa??o/transforma??o
