Abstract (analytical)
This paper analyzes the configuration of the bodies of young people who participate in two student political movements at the Universidad del Cauca (Colombia). Methodologically, the study is based on the principle of complementary actions, using discussion groups and life stories to build narratives. The results show how the young people collectively configure, both in and with the body, signs that are (re)produced in their political practices. First, the initiation rituals in political practice present the rites of passage that introduce the young people to this new area. Second, the actions of their body are analysed. The procedurality of their political practices explain the body that is being. Third, in the aesthetics of political practice, the body implies the configuration of a body for politics with the necessary attributes to act in this field.
Keywords: Body, configuration, youth, politics, youth organizations, student movements.
