ABSTRACT
Carles Feixa Pampols is a professor of social anthropology at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. He holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Barcelona and the title of Doctor Honoris Causa from the University of Manizales (Colombia). Dr. Feixa has been dedicated to the studies of Youth Cultures, having published more than 30 books on the subject and being a visiting researcher in important universities in countries like Spain, Italy, Mexico, France, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, United States, Peru and Brazil, among others. In this interview, given to teachers Victor, Miriam and Andreia, Professor Feixa discusses important themes for the field of research in the area of youth, and presents clues for the methodological options in this field. He affirms, based on his rich contributions, that an interesting way of studying youth is by the bias of life stories. It is considered that youth has no life story or biography, as it would still be under construction; however, he believes that it is precisely the moment in which they could begin to narrate and construct their stories, and thus, uses them for the construction of his research.
