Spanish abstract con los adultos en general. Este apartado lo he subtitulado: “La juventud no como una etapa en el ciclo vital, sino como una imagen y un producto cultural”
English abstract On the present assai I am interested in relate three phenomena: the teenage as a subjective structure and physique process; the post modernity as a cultural logic of late capitalism and the creation of the youth or the youthful as a merchandize. Relating these three aspects implies highlighting in what way this process affects the individual development of the teenagers. So, the work will be structured in three parts. The first one titled Teenage, in which aboard the fundamental ideas, based on the development of some authors that had conceptualized the teenage as a structure, giving it a place in the psychoanalysis, as a determinant process on the subjective construction. This implies understanding the physique processes that are taking place beyond the description of conducts and attitudes. It becomes necessary to me then, distinct the teenage as this process that transforms the child into a teenager and places him (her) inside a structure that we call teenage. Placing him (her) in a different position for their family and overall a different position for the culture. On the second part tilted Post modernity and Marketing, in which I am interested on develop some fundamental concepts, overall what has been called postmodernism referring it, mostly, to the cultural logic that rules now days. In this part I am interested on highlighting in what way youth and some aspects of the teenage has become a merchandize. Finally, on the third part I am interested on develop the way that ‘teenagezation’ of the culture has stolen the place from the teenage and the teenagers, and how this process affects their subjective development, and mostly the relation with adults, on first place the parents but not only with them but with all adults in general. This final part I have titled The youth not as a stage on the vital cycle, but as an image and a cultural product
