Abstract
espanolLa movilizacion que las y los jovenes estudiantes –secundarios y despues universitarios– han venido desplegando en los ultimos 10 anos en el pais (PNUD 2015) ha gatillado un conjunto de cuestionamientos a la estructura social y la desigualdad en ella contenida. Esto ha llevado a que diversos sectores –mundo politico, opinion publica y otros- asuman esos planteamientos que organizan en buena medida la conversacion social en Chile. Acceder a la educacion superior es una sentida aspiracion de las actuales generaciones de jovenes que concluyen su ensenanza secundaria. Sin embargo, esta transicion es experimentada como un conjunto de tensiones –desajuste, desacomodo y malestar– que caracterizan el modo en que enfrentan y resuelven el paso de salir de cuarto medio. Dichas experiencias son una buena evidencia del tipo de sociedad chilena que se ha construido, y sus jovenes, otra vez, una buena metafora de la epoca actual. EnglishThe mobilization of young students –from secondary schools and later from higher education– over the past 10 years in the country (PNUD 2015) triggered a series of challenges to the social structure and its inequalities. These demands have led actors from the political space and public opinion, among others, to take up these approaches that are organizing social conversation in Chile. The access to higher education is an aspiration for the young who are finishing their secondary education. However, this transition is experienced as a mix of tensions –imbalance, dislocation and uneasiness– which characterize the way they face and solve the transition to graduate from secondary education. Such experiences illustrate the kind of society Chilean people have built, the young, once more, being a good metaphor for the present time.
