Data were collected in the heat of events and were analyzed through a univariate descriptive statistical analysis. It is observed that, to the eyes of young people, the figure of Bolsonaro as a «myth» turned out to be an autocratic figure of authority that causes fear and legal insecurity in the country, resulting in a democracy perceived as weakened and disrespected.2023-11-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Última Décadahttps://revistadesociologia.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/72903CHOOSING A HIGH SCHOOL: FAMILY AND YOUTH STRATEGIES IN EXCLUDED PLACES OF CÓRDOBA2023-11-29T22:57:47+00:00Valentina Arce Castellovalentina.arce.castello@unc.edu.arWe include this work within the study of school trajectories as an analysis perspective, focusing on the choice of the high school as a significant life event. The empirical material was rebuilt from a triangulation of inquiry techniques implemented in a public administration school in Córdoba. As main results, we found that the choice of the high school in excluded social areas is restricted by inequalities interwoven at economic, territorial, symbolic, and educational levels, fought by families attempting to mitigate them to achieve social, legal, and emotional recognition.2023-11-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Última Décadahttps://revistadesociologia.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/72904CO-CONSTRUCT BIOGRAPHICAL NARRATIVES WITH YOUNG STUDENTS. SUBJECTIVE EFFECTS OF THE BIOGRAPHICAL RESEARCH APPROACH2023-11-29T23:01:55+00:00Lucía Angélica Ariasluciarias2002@hotmail.comFlorencia D'Aloisiofdaloisio@unc.edu.arIn this article, we present the results of a research aimed to understand how subjects manage their double status of young people and high school students in a school of Córdoba, Argentina. From an interpretative-qualitative paradigm, we used the life story technique of the biographical approach and we worked with five young people who were finishing high school. We note that the experience of co-constructing their biographical stories generated identity, reflective and bonding effects in young participants, with specifically institutional resonances and in our role as researchers as well. We also delve into the ethical considerations involved and the importance of recognizing the imbrication between intervention and research within the psychosocial field.2023-11-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Última Décadahttps://revistadesociologia.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/72905SEXUAL AND AFFECTIVE CONSENT FROM THE VOICES OF FEMALE HIGHER EDUCATION STUDENTS IN CHILE2023-11-29T23:09:19+00:00Sonia Brito Rodríguezsbrito@uahurtado.clLorena Basualto Porralbasualtop@ucsh.clMargarita Posada Lecomptemposadal@ucsh.clThe article problematizes emotional and sexual consent from the voices of women Chilean students of higher education. To do this, qualitative research is conducted that analyzes their narratives on sexual violence and femicide, shared in the discussion groups. The main results show that female students feel violated in their private and public contexts, since in the patriarchal culture forms and styles of relationship are naturalized that make invisible and undermine the consent of young women, feeling, moreover, that the danger of suffering violence is narrowed to family, academic and sexual-affective spaces.2023-11-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Última Décadahttps://revistadesociologia.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/72906VIRTUALIZED NON-FORMAL EDUCATION.

A questionnaire was applied to 124 leaders of scout groups, where three thematic axes were addressed: i) activation strategies; ii) desertion of members; and iii) effectiveness of the telematic modality. The results indicate that the scout groups had to adapt their strategies to keep their community active, having to articulate didactically the traditional contents with the new digital technologies available, reaching acceptable levels of effectiveness.2023-11-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Última Décadahttps://revistadesociologia.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/72907THE CONTRADICTORY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOUNG PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONAL POLITICS: A VIEW FROM VOTERS OF GABRIEL BORIC2023-11-30T01:14:18+00:00Álvaro Cabreracabrera6@wisc.eduThis article explores the political participation of young people in the election of Gabriel Boric and their relationship with institutional politics. A qualitative methodology is used, and it is concluded that young people value politics as a fundamental element of society, being political participation therefore not contradictory to other forms of participation.

FEAR OF FAILURE AND ITS RELATION TO THE EDUCATIONAL TRAJECTORIES OF YOUNG, UNDERPRIVILEGED UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN CHILE2023-11-30T01:19:34+00:00Brigitte Ortizbrigitte.ortiz@ug.uchile.clTo fail is to not meet achievement expectations at a specific moment. This article analyzes the fear of failure that arises in young people due to the real or potential risk of not fulfilling the promises of social rewards offered by the Chilean university system. Using a qualitative approach, the narratives of 18 students in highly feminized careers at medium and low selectivity universities in Chile were examined. The results showed that the students respond to fear with determination. Instead of giving up, they confront possible failure and develop strategies to overcome it, demonstrating agency and perseverance.2023-11-29T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 Última Décadahttps://revistadesociologia.uchile.cl/index.php/UD/article/view/72909ARTESANÍAS DEL TRABAJO E INTERVENCIONES SOCIALES CON JUVENTUDES2023-11-30T01:24:38+00:00Natalia Hernández Marynhernand@uahurtado.clFranco Molina Salazarfranco.molina.s@gmail.comDesde las Ciencias Sociales y en particular desde el Trabajo Social, la temática de las juventudes desde hace tiempo se ha vuelto un campo de investigación-acción interesante de ser abordada por interventoras/es e investigadoras/es sociales.
