Abstract
This article denies the theoretical validity of age range as a defining category of youth. We consider two central axes: the youth-adult contraposition, which assumes two ideal types of youth: self-constructed and adult-constructed. The other axis is made up of three categories: segmentation, culture and the world of life. The first serves to shape youth as a rebellion against adult institutions; the second to envision it as a subculture confronting the dominant culture, and the third to establish the consequences for society of a self-constructed youth.
