ABSTRACT

COMMUNICATION, SEXUALITY, AND SCHOOL: DISCOURSES AND REPRESENTATIONS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF YOUNG STUDENTS. The present article proposes an analysis of the discourses and modes of communication deployed around the issue of sexuality by young students aged 13, 14, and 15 in the city of Olavarría. Said subject is engaged through an approach that links gender pespective with critical theories of communication and culture, this in the particular context of an educational institution. In this sense, and in view of the National Law of Comprehensive Sexual Education, this article not only inquires upon the role fulfilled by schools regarding the matter, but also investigates the diverse influences that these institutions exercise over the senses and over everyday expressions of sexuality performed by these students. 

Keywords: Communication – Youth – Sexuality – Gender - Educatio.
