Herdeiros da violência

Abstract

This paper analyzes youth trajectories marked by situations of violence that are expressed in their most cruel form: youth homicides. To this end, the central characters of this research are young people who are the children of young victims of homicides. These are reflections on timeless youth routes, as death and mourning are everyday experiences that span generations, marking the peripheries of Brazilian cities through their pain and the feelings of loss of people who made up their cycles of affections. Therefore, they are affective memories of young people who, because they live little with their deceased parents, can, on the one hand, be marked by longing or suffering, and on the other hand, memories crossed by forgetfulness and indifference, thus demarcating the singularity of juvenile crossings.
