Abstract

This article analyzes two distinctive dimensions of the Chilean student movement (2006- 2016): 1) the reconfiguration of technologically supported youth action repertoires, and 2) the creation of new communicative interaction repertoires in social networks. First, we propose a multidisciplinary approach to give us insight on the way students change the structure of media opportunities by means of positioning their struggles into the public space. Later, we bring a theoretical analytical model that allows us to embrace these changes, dealing with the processes of construction of meaning and discursive practices developed in the Social Web. We conclude that the convergence of both repertoires have a simultaneous impact on the socio-cognitive, socio-semiotic and political-historical levels, with material and symbolic yields still unattended enough up to date.
