From the hypothesis of a generalized adolescence and its challenges to education

Abstract

This article aims to propose discussions about the hypothesis of a general adolescence of society emphasizing the notions of narcissism and individualism as social phenomena - and the possible impasses imposed by this scenario on formal education. Through a theoretical reflection of a speculative nature, the text delineates from psychoanalysis, with some reflections on the encounter between the two themes, as well as the search to analyze the phenomenon in the context of contemporaneity, marked by the social logics of consumption and by weakening of generational links, as well as the historical-temporal link between past and future.

Keywords:
