CAMPUSANO, Marina. Between the routine, the change, and the transition: The political involvement within the youth militancy of political party organizations in Resistencia (Chaco). Folia [online]. 2019, n.35, pp.69-90. ISSN 0325-8238.  http://dx.doi.org/10.30972/fhn.0353900.

This paper explores the processes which generated a greater commitment and political involvement of young militants in political organizations of the city of Resistencia (Chaco). From a qualitative perspective, the actors viewpoint has been privileged. Based on semi-structured interviews, we review the central moments of their militancy itineraries. Reconstruction and analysis of the militants’ trajectories, from the point of view of the sociology of the militant compromise, allowed us to understand the ways in which greater involvement occurs, both in groups of belonging and in political practice. Thus, in order to analyze political practice in generational key, we focus on two processes the role of the “orgánica” in the stabilization of militancy through the construction of a militant routine, on the one hand, and the movements of change of trajectories called transitional milestones, on the other.

Keywords : engagement; young people; activism; militant routine.
