Abstract
Hoy día, actores en el movimiento estudiantil de Chile utilizan varias formas de protesta para comunicar sus deseos e ideas. Entre ellos, la toma de la escuela chilena, durante la cual los estudiantes “ocupan” a su escuela por un periodo de tiempo, se ha convertido en una de las formas de protesta más comunes y emblemáticas del movimiento. Muchas tomas ofrecen un espacio seguro, fuera de las calles, donde los estudiantes pueden instigar un dialogo entre ellos y la administración sobre sus preocupaciones. Sin embargo, aunque las tomas seguidas producen resultados positivos para ambos lados, acusaciones de la pérdida de clase, de la falta de organización y de la violencia de parte de los estudiantes han producido una narrativa de delincuencia de parte de las autoridades y de los medios de comunicación. Aun así, los que participan en la toma igual tienen una perspectiva y razonamiento sobre lo que consta una toma que, aunque no siempre es reconocido por la sociedad, le da a las tomas un carácter de protesta legitima y necesaria.
Today, actors in the Chilean student movement use various forms of protest to communicate their wishes and ideas. Among them, the taking of the Chilean school, during which students "occupy" their school for a period of time, has become one of the most common and emblematic forms of protest of the movement. Many shots offer a safe space, off the streets, where students can instigate a dialogue between them and management over their concerns. However, while the shots taken together produce positive results for both sides, accusations of class loss, lack of organization and violence on the part of the students have produced a narrative of delinquency on the part of the authorities and the media Communication. Even so, those who participate in the equal take have a perspective and reasoning about what constitutes a take that, although not always recognized by society, gives the shots a character of legitimate and necessary protest.
