Resumo: The present article intends to bring some thoughts about illegal practices by the youth, mostly from the lower classes, in the context of speeding/racing cars and motorcycles. The knowledge transmitted in this universe opens to these young people the possibility, no matter how precarious, of an activity or an occupation that allows them, as individuals, group or collectivity, to face the low status and social invisibility of their lives and family backgrounds. In car races, in the midst of quite fluid boundaries between leisure and work, the intense sensory experience compensates for the pressures and uncertainties of daily life. In class, generation and gender interrelations taking risks becomes, in such practices, a component of identity-building and recognition, besides being a way to make a living.

O conhecimento transmitido ? “saber-fazer” ? nesse universo abre a esses jovens a possibilidade (precária) de uma atividade ou de um ofício que os potencializa, como indivíduos, grupo ou coletivo, para enfrentar, sobretudo, o desprestígio e a invisibilidade sociais, mas também a instabilidade profissional. No mundo dos motores e da velocidade, dentro dos limites fluidos entre lazer e trabalho, a experiência sensorial intensa potencializa contra as pressões e incertezas do cotidiano. Nas inter-relações de classe, de geração e de gênero, o risco torna-se, em tais práticas, um componente de construção identitária e de reconhecimento, além de poder ser uma forma de ganhar a vida.Universidade Estadual de Londrina2015-12-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPesquisa Empírica; Etnografiaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/2276610.5433/2176-6665.2015v20n2p262Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 20 No. 2 (2015); 262-283Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 20 Núm. 2 (2015); 262-283Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 20 n. 2 (2015); 262-2832176-66651414-0543reponame:Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociaisinstname:Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)instacron:UELporhttps://ojs.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/article/view/22766/pdf%27Copyright (c) 2016 Leila Sollberger Jeolás, Luiz Antonio de Castro Santoshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessJeolás, Leila SollbergerSantos, Luiz Antonio de Castro2022-09-23T18:08:29Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/22766Revistahttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/indexPUBhttps://www.uel.br/revistas/uel/index.php/mediacoes/oaimediacoes@uel.br2176-66652176-6665opendoar:2023-01-13T10:38:02.670418Mediações - Revista de Ciências Sociais - Universidade Estadual de Londrina (UEL)false
