Through this paper I attempt to understand the discourses by which the family socializes sexuality and the sexual onset of youth in Ocotlan, Mexico and Antofagasta, Chile. I opted for a qualitative methodology, employing a critical socio-constructivist paradigm designed to gather biographic-narrative information. The analysis of information was carried out according to what Montañes-Serrano (2013) proposes, consisting in the identification of discursive positions. 54 young students participated in the study, 27 women and 27 men of mid-level education aged 15 to 19. Among the results, we find the emergence of hegemonic and dominant positions as conservatives and traditionalists. As well as discursive positions: preventionists and threatening norms. Finally, there are positions that are more aligned with equity and young people’s sexual rights.

Background: COVID-19 is a virus that not only affects physical health, but also impacts people's psycho-emotional health and daily life, altering family, work, relationship, educational and learning dynamics, among many others. Objetive: This study sought to determine gender differences in terms of psycho-emotional impacts and experiences related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the adult population of the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, Mexico. Method: A qualitative study was implemented, with theory based on the data, through semi-structured interviews (ten women and three men) and through a non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Results: It stands out that the experience related to COVID-19 has generated negative emotions, couple conflicts and discomfort associated with the inability to carry out recreational activities.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the resignifications of motherhood among female professionals with children residing in Guadalajara, Mexico. We argue that the transformations of the representation of motherhood and of the mother—like sociocultural institutions—are promoted and suffered by those women who “want everything”, that is, those who do not give up their professional projects, and neither give up their reproductive capacities which they conceive as part of what being a woman means to them. To account for the above, we analyzed four biographical interviews conducted with the life story technique. The results show the tensions, conflicts and guilt experienced by the professional women who work and who are mothers, as well as the way in which they experience at the same time feelings of personal self-affirmation and feelings of pride.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo el análisis de las resignificaciones sobre la maternidad en mujeres profesionistas con hijos residentes en Guadalajara, México. Sostenemos que las transformaciones en la representación sobre la maternidad y la madre —como instituciones socioculturales— son promovidas y sufridas por aquellas mujeres que «quieren todo», es decir, aquellas que no renuncian a su proyecto profesional, pero tampoco a su capacidad reproductiva concebida como parte de su ser mujer. Para dar cuenta de lo anterior analizamos cuatro entrevistas biográficas realizadas con la técnica de relatos de vida. Los resultados muestran las tensiones, conflictos y culpas que viven las mujeres profesionistas que trabajan y que son madres, así como la manera en que experimentan al mismo tiempo sensaciones de autoafirmación personal y sentimientos de orgullo.
