Description
Summary:This article, written as an essay, is the result of a theoretical research that questioned the categories of experience and time in the psyches of adolescent. Through the articulation of the psychoanalysis of the adolescent with the theme of time and the concept of experience in Walter Benjamin’s theory, we seek to problematize the adolescent passage in the time settings in the current social bonding. The article suggests that we should not rush into diagnosis, because the current symptomatology of adolescence might be an expression of youth suffering and a resistance mechanism when facing the culture’s conditions. Such conditions can produce an expansion of the time for understanding, as a delay of the encounter with the moment of conclusion. So, in order to produce conditions for the subject towards a self-interpretation, besides the instant, the time and the moment, it could be possible an extra time called interval. That interval could be an effect of the expansion of the time for understanding.
