Abstract

This research aims to understand how the action of participating politically in an unconventional way contributes to the formation of political subjects, focusing on young people engaged in social movements, because, in this study, we start from the budgets that the action secures the subject, not the place. where it fits, unlike other studies that treated the institution as a mentor of human behavior. In methodological terms, the work is based on written sources and interviews. Specifically, two theories were used as support to explain the research, these are the theory of sociological institutionalism and the theory of the subject. The study used a qualitative approach, whose data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 06 young people who constituted the sample. The understanding of the data showed that the actions that are organized and carried out in unconventional spaces of political participation, such as protest, strikes, multisectoral debates, allow young people to construct themselves as political subjects. Furthermore, unconventional participation has proven to be a viable mechanism for disadvantaged groups in society, this illustrious means being open as innovations, unlike traditional forms of political participation, mentioned in the research as being merely restricted to innovations. It was found that unconventional participation is a tool in the powerful formation of the political subject, it not only built, but has the power to change the views and attitudes of those who adopt this means or practice, because, through them, young people acquired more knowledge. related to the world and ―self‖, which allows for some changes in your mentality.
