          Abstract

          As representações sobre a juventude variam histórica e culturalmente. No Alto Rio Negro, vivem grupos indígenas com mais de três séculos de contato com o mundo não-indígena. Nos últimos anos, os rituais de iniciação masculina foram suprimidos e houve a introdução da escola formal. Estes acontecimentos geraram ressignificações nas formas de representar as diferentes fases da vida. Neste trabalho objetivou-se compreender a construção das representações sobre a juventude indígena; como elas se correlacionam com as demais fases do ciclo vital e como contribuem para configurar práticas sociais estruturadas em torno deste grupo social. Analisaram-se diversas histórias-míticas que tratam das relações intergeracionais; estas foram correlacionadas com os termos designativos das diversas da vida, com as outras narrativas nativas e com dados obtidos a partir da observação participante. O estudo conclui que as representações sobre juventude são configuradas pelos papeis sociais de iniciandos/iniciados, fundidos na atualidade, de modo contraditório, numa categoria genérica e prolongada de estudante, desprovida de estatuto sociológico próprio, alongando a condição liminar desta fase da vida.

          Translated abstract

          Representations about youth vary historically and culturally. In the Upper Rio Negro, there are indigenous groups with over three centuries of contact with the non-indigenous world. In recent years, male initiation rites were suppressed and formal schooling was introduced. These events led to a redefinition of significance in forms of representation at different stages of life. This work sought to understand the construction of the Indian representation of youth; how they correlate with the other life cycle phases and how they contribute to configuring structured social practices in this social group. Several mythical stories dealing with intergenerational relationships have been reviewed; these were correlated with significant stages of life, with other local narratives, and with data gathered from direct observation. The study concludes that the representations about youth have been configured by the social roles of the initiating/initiated, in a currently contradictory fashion, under a generic and lengthy student phase, deprived of its own sociological markers, prolonging the threshold condition of this phase of life.
