Histories o f childhood and youth have generally focused upon social policy toward young people. This dissertation chronicles the actual experiences of youth growing up in and around Williams Lake in the Cariboo-Chilcotin region of British Columbia, a "western" community surrounded by open spaces, ranches, and Aboriginal reservations. Williams Lake underwent economic, demographic, spatial as well as social transformation in the first three decades following the Second World War. Forty-three oral interviews with two sets o f subjects who were adolescents in the study area furnished the bulk of the primary evidence. Most of the first "generation" were bom in the Great Depression and were teens sometime between 1945 and 1955. The second generation are "baby-boomers" bom between 1947 and 1962 who were teens between 1965 and 1975. This joint narrative details select aspects o f their lives at school, at paid and unpaid labour, with friends, and at leisure. It suggests changes and continuities in the experience of local youth between 1945 and 1975. First generation non-Aboriginal subjects grew up with a somewhat coherent peer group albeit with relatively little physical and social contact with Aboriginal youth. Gendered domestic labour around home and property honed work skills and dispositions from an early age. The emergence of local sawmills greatly expanded work options for males but not females. Males also enjoyed comparatively more spatial and temporal freedom throughout their youth. Second generation subjects grew up in a context of greater urbanization and access to mass culture. The merger of regional youth in the high school along with natural population growth, demographic change including the enrollment of first Aboriginal and then Indo-Canadian youth encouraged factions as well as cultural gulfs among youth in the school and community. Their leisure was comparatively less divided, at least on the basis of gender, as many non-Aboriginal parents eased traditional restrictions upon daughters. With notable exceptions this generation contributed less labour to their household and directed part- and full-time earnings into satisfying their own personal interests. The author suggests the pattern of youths' recreational use of hinterlands during the period reflects common practice in many Canadian communities located in similar rural and isolated settings. He illustrates how factors such as family affluence and circumstances, gender, "race" and ethnicity continued to mediate the experience of growing up in this post-war period. He concludes many more local accounts of the experiences of youth are needed before any attempt is made at an inclusive national historical synthesis of growing up in Canada after the Second World War.

The research features interlocutors from the state of Ceará, Brazil, who run the distance of 160 km on a daily basis: they start off in the district of Araquém, in the municipality of Coreaú, with destination to Sobral, the nearest city with the offer of undergraduate courses in public and private Higher Education Institutions. After their classes, they return to their places of residence. The main goal of this research is to analyze the relation among the trajectories of rural youth in university, seeking access to higher education, with mobility as a field of possibility that exists within the analyzed social configuration, considering that the movement between rural and urban areas reconfigures youth subjectivities. The text is crafted with the material produced during one year and a half of observations conducted alongside with the students‘ lives in three main spaces: the university, located in Sobral, which represents the urban space as well as where they return from with institutionalized knowledge, taking the magnificent trophy of the undergraduate diploma to the rural areas; the transportation, which enables spatial mobility, and it‘s the locus where students forge several kinds of sociability throughout the years of undergraduate studies (04 years in general); and, lastly, the rural district of Araquém in the municipality of Coreaú, place of origin and residence of the research subjects, which stands as well as a place of kinship, friendship and work relations. / Esse trabalho tem como proposta pensar a juventude rural a partir da mobilidade de um universo de indivíduos que diariamente transitam entre o campo e a cidade para frequentar Instituições de Ensino Superior - IES, mantendo residência na localidade rural da qual são originários. Os interlocutores da pesquisa são cearenses que percorrem a distância de 160 km diariamente: partem de Araquém,distrito de Coreaú-CE, com destino a Sobral-CE,cidade mais próxima a ofertar cursos de graduação em IES públicas e privadas e retornam daí para a cidade de origem. O objetivo principal da pesquisa é analisar a relação entre as trajetórias de jovens universitários rurais na busca pelo acesso ao ensino superior e a mobilidade enquanto um campo de possibilidade existente na configuração social analisada,considerando que o trânsito entre o campo e a cidade reconfigura as subjetividades juvenis. O texto é fruto do material produzido durante um ano e meio de observações efetivadas através do acompanhamento das vivências dos estudantes em três espaços principais: A Universidade que, situada em Sobral, representa também o espaço urbano e tanto é o lugar de destino como de onde retornam com um aprendizado institucionalizado, levando para o campo o grande troféu: o diploma de graduação; o transporte que é o meio que possibilita a mobilidade espacial, sendo o lócus em que os estudantes forjam diversas formas de sociabilidades durante os anos da graduação (em média 04 anos); e, por fim, Araquém,distrito rural do município Coreaú, local de origem e moradia dos sujeitos da pesquisa,significando também o local das relações de parentesco, de amizade e relações de trabalho.

Apresenta as questões: Como as relações de gênero, entendidas como decorrências de relações de poder, são percebidas pelas jovens? Quais os projetos e aspirações? Doze meninas adolescentes, entre 12 e 15 anos, estudantes da Escola do Campo, no Assentamento Bela Vista do Chibarro, Araraquara/SP, participaram da pesquisa, aceitando escrever diários. Foram realizadas entrevistas com as adolescentes, suas mães e algumas avós para aprofundar temas surgidos nos diários e captar elementos de mudanças de comportamentos. Os resultados mostram que os diários podem ser uma fonte rica de dados, pois permitem vislumbrar como as meninas adolescentes interagem com sua realidade a partir de vivências no cotidiano. A linguagem é forma de produção da cultura. Ao escreverem, as jovens tornam vivas suas respostas ao momento social e cultural que vivem; escrevem sobre paixões, sonhos, dificuldades; questionam preconceitos como a imposição de tarefas domésticas versus a liberdade de ir e vir dos meninos; descrevem sentimentos de angústias perante o exercício do poder paterno. As escritas evidenciam as diferentes formas com que as meninas adolescentes do meio rural se posicionam no seu contexto social, atribuem sentidos ao cotidiano e fortalecem suas identidades ao produzir uma subcultura pautada em mecanismos de resistência às imposições de normas e em anseios educacionais e profissionais / Abstract: This work aims at understanding rural youth and gender social relationships through the study of perceptions on female teenagers who live in Brazilian settled communities. The research was about their opinions on youth and life cycles emanating from educational and cultural processes, such as family and school, amongst other things they may come across throughout their lives. It presents the question: How do the young teens view such gender relationships, as far as power is concerned? What are their life purposes and aspirations? Twelve girls, ranging from 12 to 15 years old, students at Escola do Campo, at the settling community of Bela Vista do Chibarro, Araraquara, SP, participated in the interview by agreeing to write diaries. The teens, their mothers and grandmothers were interviewed, so that topics found at the diaries could be dealt with in a deeper and more meaningful way. The results show that such diaries may be a rich data resource, expressing daily routines. Language is a way to produce culture. When writing, the young girls enlighten their way of thinking based on social and cultural moments they have been going through; they write about passion, dreams, difficulties; they question about prejudice, such as the imposition of household tasks on them versus the boys‟ freedom to go back and forth; they describe feelings of anguish towards fatherly power over them. The writings on this study put in evidence the various ways in which the teen girls from rural places act and think in their social context, giving meaning to their routines and strengthening their identities by producing a subculture based on mechanisms of resistance against the imposition of rules on them and also based on educational and professional wishes / Doutor

No presente trabalho, cujo enfoque se refere ao público feminino, isto é, as filhas de agricultores familiares que estudam na Etec Jales (SP), foram analisadas, sob a perspectiva de gênero, as semelhanças e diferenças do papel desempenhado pelas jovens, especialmente no contexto familiar, que tem sido decisivas na constituição de seus projetos de vida, tendo em vista os aspectos sócio- culturais envolvidos na sua formação enquanto jovem, mulher e de origem rural. Pode-se verificar pela pesquisa que a escolarização é uma importante estratégia criada pelas jovens para construção dos seus projetos de vida. Os jovens do sexo masculino preferem os cursos da área agrícola, numa perspectiva de permanência no meio rural, já as jovens possuem certa preferência pelos cursos de outras áreas pela falta de perspectivas/motivação de permanecerem no meio rural, pelas relações de trabalho desiguais, pelas dificuldades encontradas na atividade agrícola, entre outros fatores. Em relação às atividades desenvolvidas na propriedade, geralmente quem define o que será feito é a figura paterna, embora muitas das jovens tenham vontade de aplicar os conhecimentos adquiridos em sala de aula na propriedade... / This work is part of a broader project called Living and projects for rural youth: threat to the social reproduction of familiar agriculture? Investigating what the young students from the State Technical School Dr. José Luiz Viana Coutinho Jales (Etec Jales - SP), children (s) of family farmers have done, what they think about the family, study, work and play, and what are your projects, and at the same time, read back this set of actions and plans the vision of the family, the brothers who have not studied and were working on the family estate. In this paper, whose focus refers to the female public, that is, the daughters of farmers who study at Etec Jales (SP), were analyzed from the perspective of gender similarities and differences of the role of young people, especially within the family, that has been decisive in the formation of their life projects, in view of the socio-cultural aspects involved in its formation as a young woman and of rural origin. It can be verified by research that schooling is an important strategy created by young people to build their life projects. The young men prefer the courses of the agricultural area with a view to stay in rural areas, as young women have a preference for certain courses in other areas, the lack of prospects / motivation to remain in rural areas, by unequal labor relations, by the difficulties encountered in agriculture, among other factors. In relation to activities on the property, usually the one who defines what will be done is the father figure, although many of the young people will have to apply the knowledge acquired in the classroom on the property, the girls seem fragile in the eyes of parents, which impose more restrictions on development activities in the field than for boys. These differences in treatment for young people and youth in rural areas... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Abordo questões relacionadas à construção social da juventude; às dinâmicas regionais onde os jovens atuam; às estratégias familiares; relações de gênero. Os locus de análise são um assentamento e um bairro rural. O método analítico é o dialético e ajuda a revelar habitus estruturados e estruturantes dos agentes sociais influenciando as formas de organização familiar numa dimensão micro social e os processos socioculturais na dimensão macro social. Nesse contexto, a conquista da autonomia e transição segura para a vida adulta não implicam, necessariamente, em ruptura definitiva com o campo. Mas, se condicionam a um trabalho na área urbana / Abstract: In this study I reflect upon the perspectives of the rural young regarding theaccomplishment of their autonomy and their safe transition to the adult life. I discuss questions related to the social construction of youth; to the regional dynamics where the young individuals act; to the familial strategies; gender relations. The analysis¿s loci are an establishment and a rural quarter. The analytical method is the dialectic and helps disclose structurized and structurizing habitus of the social agents by influencing the familial organization ways in a microsocial dimension and the sociocultural processes in a macrosocial dimension. In this context, the autonomy¿s accomplishment and the safe transition to the adult life do not necessarily implicate in definitive rupture from the countryside. Actually, they condition themselves to work in the urban area / Mestrado / Mestre em Sociologia
