ABSTRACT:
This article aims to identify experiences lived by young people who, somehow, characterized as re(x)istence to standardization processes from government policies. This research reconstructs the life stories from two young boys from the Brazilian state, Paraíba. Therefore, we are fundamentally supported by Foucault’s theory to better understand our research object. We find young people who have built ways of life that are captured by the standardization process, but also demonstrate singular experiences or re(x)istence.
