Abstract	This article examines the way a group of Latina girls responded to instances of sexual harassment in a public high school in Madrid (Spain). I begin with a current event: educational reforms seeking to address the 'problem' of youth democratic disengagement. Drawing on ethnographic and genealogical modes of inquiry, I examine the subjective capacities (technologies of the body) that were being developed by these girls in the attempt to respond to instances of sexual harassment-silencing and under-sexualizing their bodies. This study steps back from any straightforward truth-claim about education, citizenship, and responsibility in democratic societies in favour of taking a longer view of how citizens are produced within its situated democratic culture-here, regime of conviviality. This article concludes that these girls' bodily response to instances of sexual harassment in school cannot be dissociated from the historical production of the logics of conviviality that grounds this educational reform, where dissent is displaced from democratic culture. Ultimately, this article transcends notions of the political in human agency that parallels responsible citizenship with resisting social norms to conclude that notions of the political in human agency cannot be dislocated from the historically contingent discursive traditions in which they are located.
