From the analysis of journalistic and academic studies sought to analyze how emerged that youth culture in Brazil and how it was meant for intellectuals who sought to explain it. Moreover, this work intention is to recover the practice and representations of wayward young in a context of culture transnationalization which meant, among other things, growth of urban living, expansion of media consumption and approximation with American culture / A tese é uma história da juventude transviada , isto é, de um contingente de jovens, majoritariamente do sexo masculino e das camadas mais abastadas da sociedade, que assumiram no plano estético e comportamental uma identidade cultural considerada transgressora e/ou delinquente, entre as décadas de 1950 e 1970. A partir da análise de matérias jornalísticas e estudos acadêmicos buscou-se analisar como emergiu essa cultura juvenil no Brasil e como foi significada por intelectuais que buscaram explicá-la. Além disso, é pretensão desse trabalho recuperar a prática e as representações dos jovens transviados num contexto de transnacionalização da cultura que significou, entre outras coisas, crescimento do modo de vida urbano, ampliação do consumo de mídia e aproximação com a cultura norte-americana

Technological tools have become so deeply integrated in our lives that they function like a part of us, transforming what we feel we can do and even who we are. Although new spaces of autonomous agency have been opened up, since the inner workings of technological tools can remain invisible, we risk diminishing our own capacities. Since we are fundamentally embedded in the world, we cannot understand ourselves without reference to the world and we cannot understand the world without reference to the way we are. The uniqueness involved in our use of technological tools grows out of a more primordial uniqueness that makes technological tool use possible and sets us apart from our closest evolutionary relatives. Several animals extend their physical influence on the environment by means of tools. We humans, however, use tools to extend our cognitive abilities as well. And since the computer is the most universal human tool, which can be put to sensorimotor and cognitive purposes alike, we take the computer to be...
