Description
Summary:The most significant results of this research allowed us to understand that there are interesting transformations in the way young people assume religion, sex, the future and university life, which shows the important role played by globalization in the formation of identities that are now more flexible, liquid and far from the moralistic logic of modernist times. It also showed that although these young people are obliged to comply with the mandate to be university students in the eyes of their family and friends, this does not mean that they know how to achieve it, nor that they have a university institution that facilitates this process. For this reason, the university, in many cases, is assumed as a "temporary escape route" that extends the social moratorium of the subjects, thus creating an illusory halo of expectation of social mobility that will probably never occur through professionalization.
Los resultados más significativos de esta investigación permitieron comprender que hay interesantes transformaciones en la forma como los jóvenes asumen la religión, el sexo, el futuro y la vida universitaria, lo que muestra el papel importante que juega la globalización en la formación de identidades que son ahora más flexibles, líquidas y lejanas a la lógica moralista de los tiempos modernistas. Igualmente, permitió constatar que si bien estos jóvenes se encuentran obligados a cumplir con el mandato de ser universitarios ante sus familiares y amigos, esto no significa que sepan cómo lograrlo ni que cuenten con una institución universitaria que facilite este proceso. Por esto, la universidad, en muchos casos, es asumida como un "escampadero provisional" que amplía la moratoria social de los sujetos, creando así un halo ilusorio de expectativa de movilidad social que probablemente jamás ocurrirá por la vía de la profesionalización.
