MUNOZ-LOPEZ, Sandra Milena  and  ALVARADO, Sara Victoria. Autonomy in action: Reflection from the Colombian youths' alternative political practices. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2011, vol.9, n.1, pp.115-128. ISSN 1692-715X.

This article aims at presenting a reflection about the autonomy exercises in the Colombian youths' political practices who, from the principles of disobedience and active non-violence, resist to the patriarchal and militaristic logics that prevail in the social organization and in the predominant culture. This way, autonomy is viewed as a plot of political subjectivity that goes beyond the limits of the perspective of thinking illustration and the capacity to think by oneself when understanding it as a transforming action which is dynamized from the idea of "us": the political action and hope of a distinct - present and future - world.

Keywords : autonomy; political practices; youths and politics; political subjectivity.
