This paper is based on a doctoral research work. Its purpose is to act as a critical operator that seeks to show, through discourse analysis, the main lines of crossing, dispersion, and mutation created around the concept of adolescence in the psychoanalytic device in order to point out some epistemic, political, and clinical implications underlying the configuration of certain forms of subjectivity propitiated by such concept. As a result of this analysis, an alternate line of thought is outlined in which subject and event become the conceptual axes that allow us to reposition the adolescent issue in terms of that other order that puberty seems to designate.
