Resumen:
The theme of the research is human diversity in the digital social networks of excluded people and aims to verify to what extent this diversity reflects that mirrored by Jesus Christ in his time and context. It highlights society in its digital environment, the locus of glamorization and spectacularization of life, and points out the diversity present through digital social networks of specific YouTube channels using the dense description methodology. It analyzes the relationships established in these channels to understand how inclusion and/or exclusion takes place in this environment. Based on bibliographical research, it highlights adolescence in the midst of contemporaneity and digital social networks, since it is a highly consuming generation that enjoys technologies in general. It proposes the counterpoint of structural diversity as a characteristic of humanity to face structural exclusion from the visibility of diversity, education of the act of looking, love and alterity. It Identifies image constructions of Christ based on his words and actions and how they dialogue with diversity in digital social networks. It points to research in Theology, considering otherness as a hermeneutic key, in dialogue with other areas of knowledge, for the promotion of human diversity. It argues that the faces of human diversity are mirrored in God because He created people in His image and likeness. Jesus Christ, Son of God, Incarnate Word, also image and likeness of God, materializes the visibility of diversity, perceived in his encounters with oppressed and marginalized people. His commandment of love is the practice of otherness, since it goes to the encounter of the other person. The research concludes that excluded people want to be part of the glamorized society in the virtual environment of social networks, but making their real everyday self visible in virtual reality. It also concludes that the visibility of human diversity in social networks contributes to the understanding that diversity is natural, that “normality” is in differences. And, finally, it concludes that God reveals himself in the other person, that Jesus Christ is a mirror of human diversity, including the diversity of social networks, and is an example to be followed based on his words and actions.
