Power and expressions of teens in Higher Secondary Education

Abstract

This paper surges from research that aims to publicize the feelings and expressions of young students of Higher Secondary Education (HSE) before the exercise of vertical power and disciplinary measures that they experience within institutions. The globalization, the modernity and the introduction of the changes of the Educational Reform, reaffirms education as one more tool for the reproduction of power, under the theoretical reference of Foucault (1976), but also subjects carry out acts of resistance or opposition, Kincheloe (1999), Bourdieu (2000) and Giroux (2004). Through conducting a deep interview with selected young people to know their feelings about such measures and their forms of expression on Facebook through their comments on various situations that occur and their actions regarding their institution. Until now, four in-depth interviews have been carried out and comments on Facebook have been obtained that gave place to the the first findings of what is intended as an object of study.
