    Becoming a political subject through affect and social media in feminist student movements in a Chilean school
    (2023) Valdivia, Andrea; Ibanez, Maria Jesus; Rojas, Fernanda
    The last decade was marked by cycles of social movements around the world, where resisting and fighting against neoliberal capitalism and a patriarchal system have been at the centre of political action. In Chile, the Feminist May student movement in 2018 was a turning point and showed the strong and entangled relationship between students, feminism, and social media. In this article, we draw attention to the process of becoming a political-feminist subject in the initial trajectories of a group of secondary students, leaders of a Chilean feminist student organization. The case study was based on ethnographic observation of the school and social media, as well as in-depth and ethnographic interviews with leaders of the organization, the school principal and two teachers. We reflect on the role of affects in digital and political engagement, the negotiations and tensions undertaken by young people in the school context, where they become political-feminist subjects.

    Looking and Not Seeing the Difference: An intercultural media education experience in Chile
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2014) Valdivia, Andrea; Medina Morales, Lorena
    The paper deals with the problem of adolescent intercultural encounters. It discusses the results of a study conducted in digital storytelling workshops attended by urban and rural, indigenous and non-indigenous, students from two regions of Chile. It analyzes, with a dialogic and ethnographic approach, the processes and products created by the adolescents. Results reveal that adolescents take a position that challenges the adult world. In this intercultural encounter, the difference is not confirmed for some participants, whereas for others, who do identify differentiating traits, ethnic characteristics are not visible and remain absent from their digital creations.
