Synopsis "La Edad Solitaria. Adolescencia y Sufrimiento"

Le Breton aborda los sufrimientos y dificultades de acceso a la edad adulta, a ese paso delicado que consiste en convertirse en uno mismo, e indaga en esa juventud en busca de sentido y de valores, suspendida entre dos mundos, atrapada en las turbulencias de una metamorfosis física y psíquica dolorosa. Los comportamientos de riesgo, convertidos en ritos de institución de uno mismo, marcan la alteración del gusto por la vida de una parte de la juventud contemporánea y confirman el hecho de que fabricar un dolor permite frenar provisoriamente el sufrimiento de vivir.

David Le Breton (Le Mans, France, 1953) is a prominent French sociologist and anthropologist, known for his deep exploration of human corporeality and its relationship with society and culture. He is a professor at the University of Strasbourg and a member of the University Institute of France.

His work covers topics such as pain, silence, the face, walking, and risk behaviors, with a particular focus on the experience of the body in modernity. Le Breton has written more than 20 books, many of which have been translated into various languages. Among his most influential titles are Anthropology of the Body and Modernity, The Sociology of the Body, Silence, Anthropology of Pain, and In Praise of Walking.

In his studies, Le Breton argues that "we do not have a body, we are our body," highlighting the importance of corporeality as a constitutive element of identity and human experience. Additionally, he has critically addressed the impact of technology and social networks on the perception of the body and mental health, warning about the risks of a "seated humanity" that reduces the joy of living.
