Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.3, pp.443-475.  Epub 02-Feb-2023. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.20.3.5555.

This article analyzes the modalities of resistance and re-existence that occurred in the context of the Colombian popular uprising in 2021 and relates them with the practice of youthcide. At a methodological level, the article analyses narratives of experiences of young people from three cities, as well as a corpus of images related to the popular uprising. The results identify a category of getting off the fence, which shows that the uprising is related to acts of youthcide. The protests were a response to precariousness and state violence during pandemic, as well as the existence of multiple forms of oppression of the youth population. In the subversion category, confrontation strategies and symbolic delegitimization of the dominant system were observed. In the popular aesthetic category, self-representation and symbolic healing were evident. In the popular education category, the implementation of practices that promote mutual learning and co-creation for good living were identified.

Palabras clave : Resistance; re-existence; youthcide; subversión; popular aesthetics; popular education.
