“…However, Spain’s entrance into second modernity was more condensed and abrupt. As a result, the labour market, which has historically been particularly difficult for young people, has become notably threatening in the last two decades (Artegui Alcaide, 2017). As we consider the plight of its young people, it is important to note that Spain has led Europe in the post-crisis period with the highest youth unemployment rate.…”

Spanish youth’s process of transition to adult life illustrates the complex effects of a prolonged economic crisis that emerged in 2008 and exacerbated an already precarious labour market. In this article, we approach this panorama of social change from the perspective of the young individuals who find themselves immersed in this passage from one crisis to another – from a global economic crisis to COVID-19 – and between two symbolic realities, one marked by individualism and the other by individualisation. Based on a discourse analysis of 20 in-depth interviews and three focus groups with young adults, conducted between 2018 and 2019 for a publicly funded RDI project, we analyse how the process of individualisation tied to a self-sufficient model of human agency may contribute to an increased reliance on individual solutions to social problems. Furthermore, we underline how these individualised pathways involve a dependency on multiple supports which are characterised by a series of tensions. Consequently, we seek to elucidate the manner in which vulnerable young workers navigate, both interpretively and practically, the trials of social life as well as the expectations associated with individualism/individualisation within a context of crisis and uncertainty.

“…This has important effects on the biographical trajectories of young people, which become unstable, non-linear, recursive and elusive to anticipation and planning (Pais, 2003;Gil Calvo, 2011). Some youngsters still experience linear transitions, while others might welcome this unpredictability (Bradley & Devadason, 2008;Artegui Alcaide, 2017); however, after the 2008 crisis, the professional future of young people has become especially uncertain, even for those holding higher qualifications.…”

Each person in their place: the ‘praxe’ as a ritual of integration, stratification and differentiation

Every year, in a variety of countries, current higher education students welcome newcomers with a set of ritualised practices in which the latter submit to the former through tests that entail varying degrees and types of violence, but also an important element of playfulness. In Portugal, these rituals are known as 'praxe académica'. This is a complex and multidimensional social phenomenon whose origins go back centuries, but is constantly reinvented and helps socialise new arrivals in accordance with the norms of the group into which they are to be integrated.Using sociological contributions to understand these rituals and their effects, we analyse the Portuguese case, arguing that these customary ways of greeting new higher education students have a triple effect on student life, contributing to: 1) the initiates' integration into a differentiated group; 2) the demarcation and attachment of symbolic value to the group members, compared to non-students and students who refuse initiation; 3) the structuring of positions and relations of power that mark the student world beyond the ritualised moments.Moreover, these rituals provide meaning and a sense of ontological security to the present, in the face of the biographical uncertainty that characterises contemporary youth.

“…Esa capacidad de realizar conexiones es la que va a permitir leer distintas formas de expresión de un malestar en relación, por ejemplo, al trabajo asalariado (su ausencia o presencia) que explica ciertas expresiones de la incertidumbre vital y social (Artegui, 2017) y que remite a una organización del mundo que separa lo productivo-público-visible de lo reproductivo-privado-invisible. Identificar los principios de visión y división, además de romper la lógica circular que mueve las políticas de la apariencia, permite una experimentación utópica realista.…”

En este artículo se recoge una propuesta para profundizar en la praxis crítica del Trabajo Social. Se parte de una comprensión de esta profesión como artesanía de las conexiones que favorece la sensibilidad de esta forma de praxis, y se plantea incorporar la perspectiva interseccional en los momentos de su puesta en marcha: la alfabetización, la identificación del malestar y la contradicción estructural que lo genera, y la experimentación reflexiva. Se explica que la interseccionalidad, como herramienta analítica, puede interesar a la práctica del agente-trabajador social porque permite una comprensión contextualizada de la complejidad con la que se experimenta la opresión, facilitando la labor de realizar conexiones orientadas a la justicia social. Asímismo, con el propósito de abrir el diálogo sobre las posibilidades de esta propuesta, se problematiza la soledad no deseada a la luz de la interseccionalidad y se explora el papel del/a trabajador/a social en la gestión de la acción pública contra este malestar.
