DA COMPLEXIDADE DA INFÂNCIA AOS DIREITOS DAS CRIANÇAS

PESQUISAS COM CRIANÇAS E A PRODUÇÃO DAS CULTURAS INFANTIS

Abstract

This article discusses questions about research with children, covering the potential of children and their voices, bringing together conceptualizations concerning childhood cultures, including reflections on the rights and active participation of children. The theoretical reference covers authors of Childhood/Child Studies and the methodology starts from a theoretical review of studies and research already undertaken with the resumption of epistemological and methodological challenges. Some webs of social relations between adults and children are discussed and proposed, which ensure the production of children's cultures, giving priority to the creative force and resistance of children, with the pretension of focus and perceive their points of view and know what they have to tell and teach us. Our contribution is to identify an intense movement of rupture and reconstruction of concepts about the place of children in research and in society.
