This assignment intended to investigate and to interrogate the speech practice of UNICEF directed to the Brazilian “adolescents”. The foucaultian theory appeared in the
historic genealogical method to question the “Brazilian Adolescent Situation” report
(2002), which is a privileged source of this research. Thus, the questions that moved this
study were: which UNICEF practices took place over the adolescent bodies, at begins of
XXI century? Which subjectivities these practices produce? How do them objective the
adolescence? Which power relations set before these bodies? What are the effects they
do? The history of the false and the truth was not the aim of these problematic issues,
once it does not have political matters, but to put in doubt the production of the truth
system in respect to these subjects and its effects nowadays. So, to mark the singularity
of the events that forged this object as an issue to human science, as a question to the
UNICEF and to the System for Safeguarding Human Rights. This way, the aim of this
study was the analysis of speech practices of power and subjectiveness that object and
subject the Brazilian adolescence. With this device, we demounted the document,
chopped the series, disarticulated the continuities, rewrote and reinvented the
adolescence object, lifting up the certainty and the truth that crossed them and that
intended to constitute them as an natural object, immerse on solidness and
homogenizations. As results we have identified dichotomies in the document, for
instance, such as potentiality/risk and positive/negative phases that tried to neutralize
the subject as something took a priori. A subject that has an essence and he was
objectified and a subjectified by straight perspective of the human development, for
instance, adaptation/unadaptation, normal/abnormal, maturity/immaturity and a straight
sequence of phases that also responds to economical-developmental neoliberal
conceptions concerned with the cost-benefit equation. We tried with an aware look to
the power nonentity to destroy certain and evidences, attempting not only to
intentionality of the power games but also to the struggle chances.
