The access to the political world. Trajects in the militant development of young people from Resistencia (Chaco)

Abstract

In the following pages we reconstruct the individual and collective trajectories of young militants in order to identify those social spheres that initiated them in political practice and collaborated in their socialization and militant training. We ask ourselves then: what were the factors that influenced their politicization? How are the experiences, actors and contexts that led them to get into party politics characterized? Based on these concerns, we review, from in-depth interviews, who they are and where they come from, their stories and family environments, friendships and places of transition.

The analysis invites reflection on the process of configuring the political activist, taking into account the various factors involved in his political future. The work shows that access to the political field is not given by only one way. These are varied incursions and at different times of their vital paths.
