Imaginarios sociales sobre sexualidad de pre-adolescentes en contexto rural y urbano desde su interacción con las redes sociales

Abstract

The following work shows the results of a reflexive qualitative research that seeks to show the social imaginary of sexuality that are being constructed by two groups of pre-adolescents between 11 and 13 years of age, in rural and urban contexts, from their interaction with social networks like Facebook and YouTube, given that in today's culture information and communication technologies, especially social networks have great importance and influence in the consolidation or transformation of social imaginary in relation to the sexuality of children and adolescents . The research method allows to articulate the theory raised by several authors who talk about social imaginaries, sexuality, culture and social networks, with the vision of two groups of preadolescents and their construction of sexuality mediated by them. The findings gathered during the research process, through techniques and tools of ethnography, make possible a reflective interpretation of the similarities and differences between the two groups of preadolescents, in relation to the social imaginary of sexuality, starting from the context In which they are immersed (rural or urban) arriving at conclusions that give answer to the question raised at the beginning of the investigation.
