Abstract:
This study takes into account the thematic of ‘individual and society’. The discussion is defined by the way of young people from a Brazilian university in Rio de Janeiro consider their relationships with their classmates, their social cultural environment and the institution. It was observed that subjects matter related to social class, status, neighborhood and lifestyles were articulated in order to set relations between ‘their self’ and ‘others’ in that city. The expectancy of their life and its decisions, the way that they were admitted in the university, their self-image from the point of view of the classmates, their feeling of being included and excluded in the faculty and their physical and symbolic interactions throughout different boundaries in Rio de Janeiro make part of the subjects argued in this research. As a result of these reflections, it was possible to give evidence how the city of Rio de Janeiro becomes an instance of double observation: from one part the city encompass different forms of subjectivities and ways of exist to another part the city is also the one that organize and produce such subjectivities
