Emociones juveniles y participación política en jóvenes universitarios de la ciudad de Lima durante los procesos políticos y electorales de los años 2015 y 2016

Abstract

The research is based on the presidential and congressional elections held in Peru in 2016. University youth discourse reflections in Lima are analyzed through semi-structured interviews that deepen the meaning of politics. Criticisms are recognized of a useless or very negative policy that must be restructured from its foundations to achieve a true transformation of society. The consulted youth has an active participation in the change of their own university institutions, so they do not stop seeing in the politics an institutional strategy of change and possibilities, for which they present a renewal and necessary conception. The criticism expressed by the students interviewed would migrate towards new resignifications of politics in Peru.
