Abstract

The article aims to raise and develop a hypothesis about the problem of teenage violence in illegals acts. We understand violence among adolescents as a phenomenon sustained by a circuit of segregation and the seeking for recognition, using the idea of recognition as a conceptual operator, created by Honneth from the Hegel. The main hypothesis is if illegal acts of adolescents are linked to the various stages of recognition, it includes an uncatchable field of indeterminacy. The discussion about recognition from the notion of indeterminacy, through the scope of a psychoanalytic lens, suggests that illegals acts and aggressiveness can be heard not only in the psychoanalytic practice, but also in social manifestations.

Summary

Introduction

The Brazilian contemporary society is troubled with issues of violence in large urban centers, mainly violence caused by adolescents. The plethora of scientific articles that address the themes of adolescents and illegal acts (Lemos, 2009, Arantes, 2009, Miraglia, 2005, Minahim and Spostato (2011); Mello (1999); Balaguer (2005), Moreira, Rosário, & Costa (2008); Guerra et al (2010), confirms the importance of the topic in the scientific community. In an investigation about the topic in Brazilian scientific magazines, fifty nine (59) articles are found through Scielo and Pepsi, which present the perspective of psychology and other human sciences in period of 2000 through to 2012 that work on this issue. The three cate-gories being covered are important and supported, for this article it is important to prioritize the socio-cultural perspective and try to find comprehensive hypotheses about the issue (Moreira et al, 2014)
