Moldear la pertenencia social: adolescentes jugando en terapia

This article focusses on what happens when Catalan middle- and upper-class teenagers do not achieve the performance that their families consider to be essential for social reproduction. We studied a group of teenagers in a therapeutic Centre specialized in focusing multiple approaches of mismatches and deficit through games. This work enables us to analyze the ways and objectives associated to extraordinary investment on exercising the habitus. Consequently, we could both identify a contradiction between the disappearance of non-organized game and the peer spontaneous meeting on one hand; and to determine game ownership by the reproductive forces.
