Musical education programs of informal education that look after socioeconomically vulnerable teenagers. Configuration of a network of translations and interests

Abstract

The network analysis of a non-formal program of education through the arts, which look after socioeconomically vulnerable teenagers, allows us to recognize their relationships, scope, and limits in other networks (the program, the family, the formal education, and the linkage between friends). The objective of this work is focused on building the network of associations between two of these networks: the program and the linkages between friends. In accordance with this objective, we adapted the actor-network theory (ANT) and we used ethnographic resources for data collection and analysis. Among the main findings, we highlight that controversies work as the trigger which generates in networks configuration movements, stabilization, or their fading. Likewise, the network assembly describes the processes that are behind the contributions or changes which are attributed to education through the arts.
