SILVA-SEGOVIA, Jimena; MENDEZ-CARO, Leyla  y  BARRIENTOS-DELGADO, Jaime. Discourses on rules related to sexuality in youths in northern Chile. Convergencia [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.67, pp.13-33. ISSN 2448-5799.

This study aimed at learning institutional discourses on the sexuality and self-care youngsters. Participants were between 15 and 19 years of age, men and women from public, private, and university educational institutions from the city of Antofagasta in northern Chile. A qualitative methodology was used and 24 subjects were interviewed in-depth. The main findings suggest a flexible relation of young subjects with institutional regulations, either ascribing to their mandates or exercising dissent. Poor implementation of sexual education programs was detected, thus becoming a problem throughout private and public institutions, although with greater social impact on the latter.

Palabras llave : youths; discourses; normative institutions; sexualities.
