ENTWISTLE, Gabriel; RIOS, Rafael  and  LOZADA, Isabel. Music, Identities and Youths. Theoretical Approaches for its Research in Social Sciences. Punto Cero [online]. 2012, vol.17, n.25, pp.47-54. ISSN 1815-0276.

The following article explores some contemporary theoretical debates and approaches concerning the study of youth social identities, regarding musical consumption. This paper situates a balance among the following approaches: the performative, those which are oriented towards the political dimension of musical consumption and, at last, the one that emphasizes sensorial pleasures and the use of music in everyday life. In the end, the article leads to articulate the research of musical materials' use as mediators of social self-identity or self­comprehension constructed by young actors.

Keywords : music; identities; youth; cultural consumption.
