Being young at school is allowed… Other ways of thinking about student status, based on experiences of communication and cultural production in schools located in the city of Cordoba

Abstract

This work is part of a doctoral thesis that analyzed educational experiences in which students from public schools, produce media. The objective was to know the ways in which these experiences dialogue, discuss and transform traditional school forms, enabling the emergence of other ways of doing, being, knowing and saying in the hight School. This research allowed us to reconstruct different dimensions of analysis, but for the present article we will focus only on one of them: the ways in which the juvenile condition occupies an important place proposing other ways of “being a student”. This is a qualitative investigation based on a case study (Stake, 1999). The cases were intentionally chosen due to their potential to answer our questions. We worked with groups of young people from two schools located in the city of Córdoba during the years 2011 - 2014 are recovered. The corpus was made up of interviews and the analysis of school media productions. It is important to say that for this article only the school magazines are considered.
