Abstract In this study we collocate adolescence within a broader and more present-day scenario than has been the case in psychological and psychoanalytic literature in recent years. Our analysis of this evolutionary passage and its malaise includes contextual and other aspects that condition its real development. We consider the features of contemporary Western society and naturally place them within an increasingly planetary vision of the subject, given that the culture pervading the Western world, although complex, appears to be sufficiently uniform with some specific aspects. We propose a contemporary interpretation of the developmental process of the second decade of life and the forms of malaise it can produce. In this respect, two adolescent conditions are emblematic: self-closure and anorexiform eating disorders. These conditions express paradigmatically some characteristics of subjective adolescent malaise.

脆弱的劳动：新千年当地人的不适

摘要 在这项研究中，我们将青春期放在一个更广泛、更现代的场景中，而不是近年来心理学和​​精神分析文献中的情况。我们对这段进化段落及其不适的分析包括影响其真正发展的背景和其他方面。鉴于遍及西方世界的文化虽然复杂，但在某些特定方面似乎足够统一，我们考虑了当代西方社会的特征，并自然而然地将它们置于主题日益全球化的视野中。我们建议对生命的第二个十年的发展过程及其可能产生的不适形式进行当代解释。在这方面，两种青少年状况具有象征意义：自我封闭和厌食症。
