- Abstract
This research corresponds to an analogy between a fictional school context and the short story untitled "Las batallas en el desierto" Battles in the Dessert (Pacheco, 2006). The principal objective is to understand the rites of sexual initiation in mexican students. The bibliography used to develop this piece of work belong to the following authors: Peter McLaren (1995); "La escuela como un performance ritual" The School as a Ritual Performance, "Encontrar el sentido a los datos cualitativos" Finding Sense to Qualitative Data (Coffey and Atkinson, 2005) and, "Historia de la sexualidad I" The History of Sexuality I (Foucault, 1991). That is how, from doing the analogy, there was made the analysis out of a nine-year-old child's discourse named Carlitos, who is the main character of the story. There could be observed the social and anthropologic factors which initiated him in sexuality. Fiction could be reflected in real life to see that in the mexican social context, the rites of sexual initiation follow certain social patterns and behaviors which guide the people's customs and traditions, and that when these become massive, they transform the collective behaviors of a community. After analyzing Pacheco's discourse, it was concluded that the social rites do not obey to any religious or liturgical rules, but are immersed into the social ordinariness, and are renewed and transformed over the years. That is why these phenomena are neither static nor exclusive of measurable particularities. They are undefined because there are many factors which hurt a human being's individuality and transform the social life of the communities, mostly in the school context.
