MOLINA DERTEANO, Pablo. La juventud es más que un signo: Aproximaciones al enfoque de las falencias y a la vulnerabilidad juvenil. Trama comun. [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.2, pp.329-343. ISSN 1668-5628.

Youth Studies have shown a tendency to reject the use of the word youth to identify the social and daily conditions of young people since the words seems to point out a situation which is far from homogenous. From this point of view it seems either a mistake or a mischief to match youth with young people. However, the current article tries to examine the relation between the sign youth and the object young people from a perspective that imply political concerns in such bound. By using the triadic structure proposed by Charles S. Peirce, the article analyzes the above mentioned matching together with the 'perspective of lacking' as interpretant. This leads to an understanding of the mismatch between the idea of youth and young people as an intended one in order to legitimate the vulnerable group treatment as an option for social policies and Neoliberalism as society regime.
