Abstract
MALINOWSKI, Nicolás. Differentiation of students' times and its impact on the affiliation process in México. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2008, vol.6, n.2, pp.801-819. ISSN 1692-715X.
The entry of a young student to college implies a series of crisis at the educational, psychological, emotional and institutional levels that turn this entry into a kind of initiation process, at the end of which the young student has constructed for himself or herself a set of referents in his or her new world. To affiliate, in this sense, is to assume as one's own the multidimensional characteristics, both administrative and cognitive, of one's college, in order to propitiate -albeit mostly unconsciously- the change from a programmatic conception to a strategic one in one's relationship to study. The paper proposes the hypothesis that the student's successful affiliation to the college contxt, besides favoring his or her formal success in the term's tests, also has an effect on the symbolic existence and on the visibility of the college. Beyond the question for the congnitive or intellectual insertion of the students to their new context, it seems possible to analyze the formation of a recursive loop between the student and the college territory, defining a hologrammatic relation that passes through the interiorization of the perceived characteristics of the institution of affiliation and its symbolic completion in the framework of a coherent study project.
