SOUTHWELL, Myriam  and  HIGUERA RUBIO, Diego. Youth and forms of politics in Argentine secondary schools. CPU-e. Rev. Investig. Educ [online]. 2017, n.24, pp.27-53. ISSN 1870-5308.

This text presents an analysis of the changes political traditions in Argentine secondary schools during the last eleven years. The authors utilize concepts of political culture, teacher positions, and plural actors to trace expressions and articulations in the public sphere that combine elements of political traditions with others that have been appropriated and created by new generations interacting with the adult world and sociopolitical transformations in the country. The article uses qualitative research in 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2011 in dialogue with recent publications in order to question commonplace claims about politics in school, such as the supposed automatic entry and exit of students in politics, and to identify underlying dynamics of new political forms that often escape researches' attention.

Keywords : Education policy; school culture; political culture; youth; Argentina.
