Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the processes that result from alliances and friendships between adolescents and young people, in the neighborhood of Malhazine District Municipal KaMubukwana, in the city of Maputo. From the analyzed literature, the alliances and relations of friendship are seen as true sources of joy, offering help and protection, companionship, positive emotional experiences (such as acceptance, intimacy, and closeness) and self-affirming experiences (such as loyalty, security, and mutual validation). A theoretical foundation is based on the concepts of experiences lived among adolescents and young people in their daily lives, especially in their social relationships. The search results are analyzed from the phenomenological approach of Schutz (1998), which consists of understanding of aspects of social life through the analysis of the daily life of the actors as a intersubjective process. Alliances and friendships are described by adolescents and young people interviewed, such as relationships that privilege the true encounter, beyond stereotyped worldviews and behavior that promote an environment of cooperation and propitious welcome so that the interaction goes beyond the level of persona and understand the totality of the individual. The research concludes that, adolescents and young people build alliances and friendly relations through the circumstances that result from the multiple forms of social coexistence.
