ABSTRACT
The theme of the article are the forms of appropriation by adolescents of the experience of school occupations in Rio Grande do Sul in May and June 2016. It aims to understand how this experience became a process of political subjectification for those youths, based on semi-structured interviews applied to those who participated in the occupations. It concludes that the experience of occupation enabled processes of political subjectification that promoted the de-identification of previously formulated social roles for students (passive apprentices) and adolescents (unable to think and act politically).
