Abstract

MOLINA-CHAVEZ, Walter Manuel  and  ALVAREZ-VALDES, Carolina. Social imaginaries of youth in contemporary Chile. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.85-16. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1510407032016.

This paper presents the finding/results of an investigation that had the objective of identifying emerging social imaginaries related to youth in contemporary Chile. This is a qualitative study based on the analysis of thirteen discussion groups, conducted in five regions across the country. Participants in the study were studying their last year of secondary education/ high school in Chile. Among the most relevant results is the identification of a social imaginary of youth as a permanent challenge to be controlled by the education system, which is structured as a conflict into the foundation of emphasizing different dimensions and processes that are considered essential in the configuration of the social condition of contemporary Chilean youth.

Keywords : Social Imaginaries; youths; human development; schooling.
