ARROYO CHINCHILLA, Lucía; HUERTAS CASTRO, Paula; PEIRANO CISTERNA, Claudia e PEREZ CALVO, Maureen. The adolescent identity and its relationship with the national imaginary. Rev. Actual. Investig. Educ [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.2, pp.121-154. ISSN 1409-4703.
This article analyzes how the adolescents identified themselves with what is known as the fundamental characteristics about the Costa Rican being, aiming to discover if there are any generational changes in the construction of the national imaginary. To obtain the data, work was done with a focus group of 13 men and 4 women aged between 14 and 18, who regularly attend the International Revival Center in San Diego de Tres Rios. The information was systematized and analyzed qualitatively by analytical categories. This article shows that adolescents are not exempted from contact with the "national culture", but considered necessary to redefine the symbols, because they do not represent the multicultural reality of the country.
