摘要：非洲青年暴力闯入公共和家庭领域似乎导致他们的行为成为一种威胁，并在整个社会中引发了一种同时具有道德和公民色彩的恐慌。争论的焦点是年轻人的身体和行为，他们逃脱了社会结构的限制，他们的性取向和快乐，以及他们作为初级社会行为者的行动和存在的模式。新的形势对几个问题产生了影响，其中最重要的是在全球化的旋风中重新定义身份和公民身份之间的关系，社会化进程的蜕变，伴随着他们自己的表现和想象力的新形式的不平等的产生，以及从青年到成年的时间和心理结构的异常突变。
Abstract: The violent irruption of African youth into the public and domestic spheres seems to have resulted in the construction of their behavior as a threat, and to have provoked, within society as a whole, a panic that is simultaneously moral and civic. At issue are the bodies of young people and their behavior, which escape the constraints of social construction, their sexuality and pleasure, as well as the formulas of their action and presence as junior social actors. The new situation has consequences for several issues, the most important of which are the redefinition of the relationships between identity and citizenship in the whirlwind of globalization, the metamorphoses of the processes of socialization, the production of new forms of inequality accompanied by their own representations and imaginations, and the extraordinary mutation of the chronological and psychological constructions of the passage from youth to adulthood.
