SUMMARY:

"This dissertation seeks to follow a path contrary to that commonly adopted when it comes to the relationship between youth and political participation. In this sense, instead of investigating what keeps young people away from conventional politics and what explains their low engagement and interest in this form of political action, it is more directly concerned with what leads young people today to participate in organized politics in a context that produces individualistic subjectivities. To this end, an empirical study was conducted with university students from the University of Brasília (UnB), who integrated the student organizations A Gente que Lute and Aliança pela Liberdade, formed for the election of the student representation space's board of the Central Directory of Students (DCE) Honestino Guimarães in 2019, a period that represents the last polarized student electoral dispute that occurred at the university. With the purpose of answering the following questions: What is the profile of young UnB students who are interested in and engaged in institutional university politics? What motivates them to act in this institutional politics, as well as which affects are mobilized for the exercise of this activity? In this sense, the investigative operation moves along two axes: 1) Understanding what made these young people mobilize to join the political group; 2) What these young people wanted from these groups. It is concluded that the experiences of how each research participant arrived at the political group are diverse and singular because they are inherently related to the environments in which each circulates, with the relationships that each weaves. However, the common point between them that makes it possible to understand the polarized stance between the groups lies in the moral grammar they use to judge the university environment and its problems, the role of the DCE, and the function of the university.”
