Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To understand the meanings and experiences 15 to19 year-old Mexican and Chilean students have regarding sexual initiation. METHOD: The study was approached from the socio-critical and the interpretivist paradigms as well as from the decolonial feminism perspective (Denzin & Lincon, 2000). The sample was composed of 54 students from public and private schools in Ocotlan and Antofagasta. The analysis was conducted following Montanez’s 2013 Analysis of Discursive Positions. FINDINGS: Chilean and Mexican students share some discursive positions such as the romantic, the normative, the mercantilist, the erotic, and the day-to-day one. CONCLUSIONS: There appears to be a global imaginary of gender in all of Latin America, which might not be fully identical but does share some similarities. This leads us to believe that nowadays there is indeed a common notion of the system or world.
