Culture

The difficulties to define the Topic: the wide area, the diversity on approaches and treatments, the selection of topics –always arbitrary-, the understanding of juvenile cultual phenomena, location of the problems, just to point out the immediate ones.

Of course, a biggest difficulty is the actual topic of this state of art: juvenile culture. If youth is almost irreducible to one concept, delimitation and definition of juvenile culture becomes a truly investigatory exercise.  We recognize three big lines:
1- Culture, identity and tradition regarding modernization proposal.
2- Cultural productions of youth
3- Juvenile cultural consume

Massive means of communication are no longer the priority on this deliberations, instead, cultural consumption appears; the tradition-modernity conflict is now seen from the perspective of globalization and, the cultural productions tend to move towards actual juvenile spaces, rather than movements.
This amazing phenomena called youth, -so dynamic for its changing nature, so strange and close at the same time- worries us, most likely because it reflects clearly the human condition.
