For this purpose the researchers selected two youth groups: the Association of Youths Constructing Dreams (in the quarter of Felipe Camar?o) and Lelo Melodia Crew (Quarter of Guarapes). Both are articulated through the strategy of coalition in regional and national nets. The hypothesis is that inside the groups and nets new youthful citizens arises. That would be a change in the representation of poor youth: from 1980 s street children - young whose social stigma associated poverty and crime to late 1990 s kids of project (pointing their trajectory in social projects) or, in present days, called as young peripherals - for the enrollment in cultural movements, as the hip hop movement - These new young citizens are contributing to new social imagery significations on poor youths. The methodology encloses: a) focal group; b) participant research analyzing the making arts (ways to think, social daily practices, actions engaged in a diversity plans) of youth groups; c) life stories of some of the youngs produced in workshops; d) not structuralized interviews. d) several documents of the groups; e) local and national surveys. Results emphasize a feeling of opening to a project of autonomy in relation to a social system that leaves them in a situation of social precariousness. Conclusion remarks that such practices of the youthful groups through the art, leisure, sport and culture unfold politics effect so that can point innovative forms of politics participation on the part of this specific segment of poor youths of Brasilian country, although conflicts and paradoxes crosses individual citizens, youth groups and youth nets. / Trata-se de estudar as subjetividades juvenis em bairros, da Zona Oeste de Natal-RN, marcados por faltas e conting?ncias que constituem a cotidianidade da exist?ncia social de seus jovens moradores. Acompanham-se dois coletivos juvenis, a Associa??o de Juventudes Construindo Sonhos (no bairro de Felipe Camar?o) e a Posse Lelo Melodia (Bairro de Guarapes) que se articulam atrav?s da estrat?gia de coliga??o em redes regionais e nacionais. Aventa-se a hip?tese que se gestam no interior dos grupos e redes juvenis novos sujeitos juvenis que de modo diverso dos outrora meninos de rua jovens cujo estigma social associava pobreza a criminalidade identificavam-se doravante por sua trajet?ria em projetos sociais como jovens de projeto ou denominavam-se jovens perif?ricos pelo engajamento em movimentos culturais, como o movimento hip hop e a partir desses novos sujeitos jovens, novas significa??es sociais imagin?rias sobre juventudes. Atrav?s da an?lise das artes de fazer (maneiras de pensar, pr?ticas sociais cotidianas, a??es engajadas em planos diversos) e das narrativas de vida de alguns dos jovens, verifica-se um sentimento de abertura a um projeto de autonomiza??o em rela??o a um sistema que os encarceram numa situa??o de precariedade social. Conclui-se que tais pr?ticas dos coletivos juvenis atrav?s da arte, lazer, esporte e cultura desdobram efeitos pol?ticos que podem apontar formas inovadoras de participa??o pol?tica por parte desse segmento espec?fico das juventudes de nosso pa?s, n?o obstante as conflitualidades e impasses que atravessam sujeitos individuais, coletivos e redes juvenis.
