Political subjectivity and emotions in young women

This text is a systematisation of experiences that emerged as a degree project. Its objective is to learn about the process of building political subjectivity and its relationship with emotions through the process of the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) group at the José María Vélaz Secondary School in Suba, during 2017. Three semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with three eleventh grade students who have belonged to the JRS group for a year or more, and who have attended and participated in most of the sessions and activities organised. It was found that for the students the emotions generated by their context are the ones that incite their transformative action as agents of peace.
