“To add but not to be added”: Youth cultures Revolutionaries. May 1968 and identitary diversification in Chile

Abstract

This paper analyzes and discusses the genesis and the identity diversification
of Chilean youth, starting from their articulation and secularization with regard to the student movements. In order to do so, it is centered in some referents that made possible the emergency of youth as subject and social actor, so as to arrive to the expansion and diversification of youth cultures in synchrony with the Chilean university reform (1967), and with the emancipationist and juvenilized imaginary that came along with the French revolution of May 68’.
