VILLANUEVA MARTINEZ, Tania  and  ITO SUGIYAMA, Ma. Emily. Political participation of young individuals from a frame analysis perspective. A methodological proposal. Polis [online]. 2016, vol.12, n.2, pp.111-139. ISSN 2594-0686.

This research starts with the study of the political participation of young individuals from the perspective of the frame analysis initially proposed by Goffman (1974). To analyze the meanings attributed by the social actors to this collective action, a modification to the strategy proposed by Chihu (2004, 2007 y 2012) is presented. Said strategy has been designed to study the framework of collective action in social movements. The elements of the proposal are described through the presentation of the case of a young member of an “okupa” community. The usefulness of the toool presented for the study of political participation is discussed, from a social psychology point of view that includes the negotiation of meanings, the notion of agency, the expression of identity and the concept of moral career.

Keywords : frame analysis; political participation; young individuals; collective action; social identity.
