This paper focuses its analysis on how YouTube audiovisual content producers in Argentina develop and organize their activity, which they perceive as work. Specifically, it is interested in knowing whether they carry out their activity individually or collectively, and whether there is any form of collective organization (actual or potential) in the face of possible conflicts with the platform. To do this, a series of interviews conducted with producers during 2018 were analyzed. Additionally, the discourse of the video platform was studied to understand to what extend this corresponds to the producers' narratives. The main findings account for a marked individuality in the ways of developing their activity, a fact that comes into collision with potential forms of collective organization and reproduces YouTube's discourse.

This paper presents partial results of two studies conducted in Mexico and Argentina, aiming at characterizing secondary education from a quantitative-qualitative perspective. A number of concerns about the serious problems that high schools in Mexico face is shared. The main thesis is intended to demonstrate that the problems of secondary education in Mexico and Jalisco are more related to the structure than to the curricular reforms on which policies have been focusing for the secondary level in the last two administrations.
