This paper proposes the revision of a series of phenomena analyzed within the framework of the study "Youth, Culture and Education" of the Ministry of Education of Chile and the Fundación Sistema of Spain and in the study about the civic behavior of young in Chile (Fondecyt N° 11121115). This paper describes the most relevant aspects of the young people's perception and verbalization of such areas as a) characterization and values of the young, b) participation and citizenship, and c) trends in education. The paper ends by suggesting a thematic research agenda that may permit to explore in greater depth some dimensions that this study did not fully address given the constraints inherent to its nature and purpose.

This paper aims provides some reflections on the transitions that the sense of the Right to Health in Venezuela has embodied in the period 1960 to 2021. For this, a critical review of the health legislation in force during that period is carried out, as well as of the Reform and Counter-reform processes attempted within the framework of the dynamic historical-political contexts that the country has gone through. It is possible to characterize periods, and to show approaches, distances and transitions to the neoliberal model in the process of establishment in Latin America; from regularities, similarities and asynchronous parallels, identified in the contrast with what happened in other countries of the region, Chile and Colombia; also revealing possible horizons for the Right to Health in the Venezuela of the XXI century.

In 1959 the triumph of the Cuban Revolution undoubtedly marked a watershed for the history of Latin America and also for the International Communist Movement. The particularities of the process led by Fidel Castro would also inspire new reflections on the characteristics of the Revolution in our continent, and not only in it, and the ways to achieve it. In this sense, the debate about the revolutionary "way" came to occupy a preponderant place in the agendas of the revolutionary parties. The objective of this paper is to reconstruct the reception of the Revolution led by Fidel Castro in the PC of Chile taking under account the communist militant subectivity and the articulation with local political parties.

The paper submits for discussion the heuristic usefulness of incorporating the political perspective of youth cultures in order to analyze contemporary connections between youth, politics and culture. If traditional approaches emphasized the cultural character of politics and the symbolic elements, meanings and perceptions that youth construct regarding politics, what is proposed here is to think about youth culture politically and make visible new spaces for constituting conflict today, broadening the field of studies toward youthful practices that contest the hegemonic meanings of political participation.
