Junge Erwachsene in gegenwärtigen kapitalistischen Gesellschaften sind gerade in der Phase des Überganges von der Schule in den Beruf mit der Anforderung an Beschäftigungsfähigkeit konfrontiert, die sie über die bestmögliche Verwertung aller ihrer Ressourcen herzustellen haben.

Thereby we will present how the activating imperative is met by body reactions in this process.... view less
