Resumen
The thesis presented was elaborated from theoretical and methodological
investigations about the theme of political participation of young people in contemporaneity.
It is important to highlight that the forms of organization, mobilization and political action of
youngsters have guided a considerable amount of research studies about the topic. It is also
noteworthy that the new contemporary social movements, especially led by youngsters, from
2013 onwards, take on a certain social and political role in the country's manifestations,
marches and street protests. Hence, the general objective of this research was to analyze the
processes of organization, formation and striving of the youths that make up the social
movement Levante Popular da Juventude, in the state of Pernambuco. The specific objectives
were: a) to identify the sociability relationships, the collective experiences and the demands of
the youths of Levante Popular da Juventude; b) understand how the engagement and
participation processes of the young individuals that compound the movement take place; c)
carry out a mapping of the actions and repertoires of collective action on the three fronts of
the movement. As for the methodological procedures, initially, a literature review was carried
out on the theme of youth participation in contemporary social movements. As for a second
moment, a work of participant observation, in which the researcher, during a period of two
years, followed the routine and the schedule of the social movement, being present on training
courses, camps, collective processes of organization, actions, acts and activities. In the last
phase of the research, interviews were conducted with the young people who make up the
group Levante Popular da Juventude Pernambuco. After carrying out the study, the thesis
defended is that Levante Popular da Juventude is positioned as a space that allows the
redefinition of forms of engagement and participation of youth in contemporaneity. The
symbolic field formed through mystique, identities, feelings of belonging, affection and
collectivity, typical of this social movement, builds an identity of resistance that sets itself as a
reference within the processes of organization, formation and striving of the social movement.
