This paper is based on the intervention project called “Building a process of choices even when choosing is not an available verb”, linked to the Institute of Psychology at UFRJ, and it seeks to analyze the different forces that constitute the process of production of subjectivity of youths in the slum. Through the practice vocational analysis with young people from favela da Maré, we sought to monitor the processes of choice that emerge when they finish elementary school, and how the prospects for the future of these youths can be (re) experienced in terms of an ethical-political community.
