On the basis of an ethnographic search on car and personal rackets, we propose to question whether engine acceleration can be considered as a metaphor for accelerating the smooth, flexible and uncertain pathways of these young people, specific to the context of ‘over-remoteness’. The aim is to understand the meanings attributed to the experience of speed and the risk involved therein, in order to analyse the relationship between juvenile risky ducts and the role of rites of passage, a key concept in anthropology. We will discuss the scope and limits of understanding ‘rackets’, on the one hand, as an individualised way of ritualising the passage from childhood to adulthood and, on the other, as the expression of play of a toy. As other forms of juvenile cultures, cracks can be understood as language of uniqueness and tenure reinforced by values and practices of a traditional hegemonic masculinity. This ethographic study about the ‘rachas’ of mothers and cars is grounded around the question, if and in how far the alignment of motors could serve as a methaphor for the acceleration of fluid, flexible and undetermined par-courses of life in the context of ‘surmodern’ societies. The objective is first to understand the meaning given to the experiences of speed and of the risks imposed, in order to analyse here the relationship between the person’s risk conduct and the rites of passage. We will discuss the potentialities and limits of buying the “rachave” on one side as an individualised form of a passage ritual and on the other side as a ludicrous expression of play and joy. Thus we could interpret the ‘rachas’ like other varieties of youth culture as a language of uniquely and affiliation empirised by practices of traditional hegemonic masculinity.
