Politics, Body and School: Feminist Expressions within the Framework of the 2011-2016 Middle School Student Movement in Chile

Abstract

This article is an attempt to periodize and analyze the feminisms that arose in the context of the Chilean student movement of recent years (2011-2016) through the concepts of body and school as political devices and in relation to middle school students. The conclusions indicate that the student movement marked a new stage from 2011 to the present, mainly differentiated by the inclusion of demands for a non-sexist education, expressed by students from and against schools and using the abjectly stressed body as the main tool.
