Abstract(s)
Neste trabalho analisaram-se as experiências de confinamento de 43 jovens estudantes do primeiro ano do ensino superior dos cursos de Economia e Gestão da Católica Porto Business School, no que concerne aos processos de transição para a vida adulta e para o ensino superior em tempos de pandemia e de isolamento físico e social. A análise das narrativas biográficas redigidas pelos estudantes permitiu concluir que as circunstâncias em que ocorreram as transições foram profusamente marcantes, sobretudo, no que respeita aos rituais que assinalam os momentos de entrada na vida adulta e no ensino superior: a ausência das festas de aniversário dos 18 anos, do baile e das viagens de finalistas é mencionada como uma situação angustiante e de tristeza. Sendo a amostra constituída por jovens que beneficiam de condições materiais de existência confortáveis e que passaram pelo confinamento sem qualquer provação de cariz material, foi no campo do lazer e das atividades lúdicas que situaram o lado mais sombrio da pandemia.
This paper draws on the confinement experiences of 43 young first-year undergraduate students of Economics and Management at Católica Porto Business School and examines the transition processes to adulthood and higher education during the pandemic and physical and social isolation. Biographical narratives written by the students revealed that the context of such transitions was profusely significant, mainly regarding rituals that mark entry into adulthood and higher education. Students found the lack of 18th birthday parties, prom and senior trips particularly distressing and saddening experiences. However, participants in the study are typically well-off young people leading comfortable material conditions and went through confinement without any material ordeal. That may explain why they identified the loss of leisure and recreational activities as the pandemic’s darkest side.
