Between the strangeness and the (dis) breath of the future in the high school youth of Ameca, Cuajinicuilapa and Xalapa

Abstract

There is not a timekeeper that could be able to equal the timing of the intensities of the life in three Mexican regions pierced by multiple expressions of structural violence. Multiple timelines and their concretions or experiential singularities are offering us the traces about what we will be approaching as the subversions of the body in the localities of Ameca, Jalisco; Cuajinicuilapa, Guerrero, and Xalapa, Veracruz. In these three regions, a research was conducted in order to explore on what might be held the will to know in high-school students within those communities.

The data that is presented in these papers show a part of the results, particularly related with the reflection about the positionality of adolescents as being subjected to the sway of their life Project and the moments of strangeness that are producing disruptive effects in each of them. Appealing to the notions of body, affection, and modes of affectation coming from the geometry of passions written by the philosopher Baruch Spinoza, considering its suitable reception for an anthropology of the body-subject, that could allow us to explain the inspirit or the decay of the body’s potentiality inscribed in the self-image.
