D'ALOISIO, Florencia. Youth and school sociability: Learnings that support a determined social order. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.101-115. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1510509112016.

The authors present part of a finished doctoral thesis that reconstructs, in a situated and comparative manner, the meanings that secondary school has for young people in Cordoba (Argentina) who inhabit unequal living conditions and educational access. Using a socio-hermeneutical approach, the methodology involved multiple activities was implemented with two student populations, progressively focusing on collecting the voices of different young people using the following methods: observation, writing, group discussions and in-depth interviews. The authors identify different groups of the meanings created by young people to understand secondary school including a "space-time of experiences and learnings" (knowledge building, sociability), "preparing for future action" (work, university), "personal training" ("to be someone worthy" or "successful"),"citizenship" ("not being ignorant" or "participatory citizenship"). In this article the authors analyze how the youth meanings related to school sociability are related to the production of subjectivities that support a determined social order.

Keywords : Urban youth; secondary school; meanings; experiences; learnings; interpersonal relationships.
