GONZALEZ VAILLANT, Gabriela. Between the interstices of democracy: The student magazines, the Uruguayan university in transition and the disputes over the meaning of democracy. Dixit [online]. 2020, n.33, pp.41-60.  Epub Dec 01, 2020. ISSN 1688-3497.  https://doi.org/10.22235/d33.2376.

This paper analyzes the process of reorganization of the Uruguayan university student movement in the early years of the eighties and specifically during the period between 1980 and 1983. The work seeks to trace the genesis of the reconstitution of this social and political actor to through a careful analysis of the student agazines that emerged during this period, proposing an alternative look at democratic transitions beyond the political partisan spheres. The work concludes that the student magazines constituted alternative channels of expression, but also privileged spaces to forge and catalyze a generational and student identity and sensitivity during a period in which traditional channels of participation and activism were unavailable.
