We work from the literature review and from a critical bias is reflective discussion involving thicken the search category, and unveils some of the complexities of the relational group that understands. Structured approach beginning with a brief history and construction of the category youth, and yet the context and recent legacy of broken promises, perversities and paradoxes that was exposed. As well as still the result of tension identity / rebellion in such a situation results. Search is still possible to make a paradigm of otherness that makes possible the insurgent real possibility of civil participation of youth in modern political and social fabric, due to the inability of bourgeois modernity has to equate the binomial emancipation / regulation, depending strongly to the pillar of regulation. Bring a category of analysis and argumentation called Youth Frankenstein, as a creature of modernity which turns against the creator, when their material and immaterial (pledges) dissatisfied. Since this is the metaphor that denotes the category and enables the analysis / study (creation of scientific knowledge) of the group that can only produce, at least to contribute much toward a paradigm of post-modern sociability, insurgent or counter-hegemonic.
