AGUILAR-FORERO, Nicolás. No lockdown: necropolitics and collective youth action in Colombia (2020). Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.1, pp.132-154.  Epub 15-Mar-2021. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.19.1.4539.

Necropolitics was strengthened in Colombia during the lockdown caused by the new coronavirus. In response, different forms of protest emerged, two of which are analyzed in this article: the mobilization regarding the case of sexual abuse of an Emberá girl by seven soldiers; and the collective youth action of the student movement, especially the Colombian Association of Higher Education Student Representatives. This study is based on a socio-critical and qualitative approach that articulates three techniques: document review, analysis of content published on Twitter and semistructured interviews. The results evidence that, in the face of necropolitics, youth collective action reacted by displaying its transformational potential through the combination of cyber-activism and “disobedient” mobilization on the streets.

Palabras clave : Violence; youth participation; student movement; cyberactivism.
