Visión de sí y de otros en adolescentes a partir de la elaboración de memes basados en la lectura de 'Alicia en el país de las maravillas'

Abstract

The present study shows the perception that a group of teenagers between 12 and 13 years old have of themselves and of others. They live in the urban area of Mexico City and are in their first year of secondary education in a private middle-class school. The study has been carried out through 85 memes made after the reading of Alice in Wonderland. This is a quantitative research that shows who are the figures of authority and what are the fears that adolescents have today. It also shows the amount of words that young people need to convey a complete idea through a meme, and their concerns for the social problems they see or have been involved in. All this is discovered through a character or scene selected by the students after reading a universal literature classic assigned in Spanish class. This study seeks to show how it is possible to unite the so-called high culture with technoculture in the classroom to reflect cultural information about adolescents. This study is presented as a proposal for innovation, applicable to other educational levels and to other classic literature texts, where the main characteristic is the development of empathy for others.
