Street urchins: An argument

Abstract

Street urchins, both children and adolescents, can only be understood in the context of their existential dynamics in the articulatory dialectics between leisure and work, in a permanent process of creating and recreating ideas, norms, attitudes, manifestations, expressions, values: producing culture. Regarding practice as a criterion for qualifying and validating knowledge production, the aim of this text is to systematize the data provided by a continuous evaluation of an experience in leisure/education with street urchins in the city of Goiânia.
