| Summary: | In the shadow cast over society by the contemporary social crisis, it is possible to trace the outline of a figure with the peculiar characteristics of adolescent subjectivity in the current era of radical change. Doing so means turning our gaze on forms of existential distress given by changes in the contexts in which today’s adolescents materially live out their experience. Exploring time, space, and bodies, their mutual relations and how they are evolving in the midst of social, economic, political, cultural, and hence also existential, change, can produce valuable insights into the pscyhopathological phenomena of our contemporary era. Against the current backdrop of change in the social and school contexts, and the effects of these changes on the experience of adolescents, there may also observe changes in how adolescent subjects relate to the structural dimensions of existence themselves.
