Abstract
This article is based on a research-intervention experience with adolescents in deprivation of liberty in a socio-educational institution. Initially, when circulating by the Institution, we were disturbed by the expressive number of writings on the walls of authorship of adolescents. There, the boys told about the vida loka, an expression that, according to reports, translates a life without limits, dangerous, with risks. From the encounter with the writings of vida loka, we come to question: how have these young people managed to narrate their stories? What are the possible effects of the subject that can come from the listening of the different ways of writing of the adolescents? In this context, we constructed the Writing Wheels, a device that emerges from the link between psychoanalytic listening and the ethical-methodological effects of the theme of the experience in Walter Benjamin. At Wheels, teens were invited to write and speak freely on issues that interested them. The researcher who conducted the Wheels recorded the data according to the device of the experience journals. For the analysis of the reports of the experience journals, as well as the writings of adolescents, we used reading-listening. From the analysis of the research material, we stress the position that these young people have occupied in the social bond and its approximation with the figure of homo sacer. We also reflect on the bet on listening and word circulation, through the Writing Wheels, as a way of producing subject effects, making, for example, briefly slide the position of vida loka to vida loka tb ama.
