Abstract
This presentation matches with the results of the research project “The adolescence between the medical, legal and educational discourse. Reconfiguration of the present”. The concept of puberty, as derivative of the medical discourse, precede and prefigures the idea of adolescence just how is understood from the 20th century on. The modern medicine that begins in the 17th century raises an observational and normativizational methodthat later inherit psychiatry and psychology. The description and classification of the organic phenomena´s pathologies will travel to other etiologies too, essentially to behavior´s etiology. Starts from the description of the evolutional changes of puberty to finish in moral judgements about the pubescent´s behavior itself. This is the research framework that settles the firsts works specific on puberty, considering it a dramatic and tempestuous evolutionary moment, prone to any deviation of normality.
