Abstract

The present article starts from a notion of “the political” in order to review the strategies and tactics displayed by youth groups to generate social transformations. The political is a category under tension, as it is constructed from diverse understandings; although it is named, lived and experienced, its historization is not guaranteed, and it is closely related to the notion of “politics”, even becoming equivalent at times. By addressing this matter, it is feasible to think the places where youth organizations are building social transformation.

Keywords:

the political, strategies, social transformation
