PIZZO, M. Elisa et al. Childhood and subjectivities production during childhood: a study on the "adult-child relationship" as a dimension of the representations of childhood. Anu. investig. [online]. 2012, vol.19, n.2, pp.255-262. ISSN 1851-1686.

This paper introduces the main aspects of a research project that will investigate the implicit and/or explicit principles constructed by children to describe, organize and regulate their relations with adults, within their sociocultural environment. The study on thi s 'grammar of adult-child relation' assumes that the historical variation of childhoods representations interact with the construction of childhood subjectivities. A relational conception on adult-child relation is proposed, as well as the theoretical frame that sustains this conception. Diverse approaches to the research on adult-child relations are revised. The trend to do research on data produced by children, based on the assumption that children are actors and social agents is highlighted. This perspective vindicate the contributions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child which challenges the conception that children are merely humans in development as well as encourages to leave behind the belief in asymmetries within adult-child relations.

Palabras clave : Childhood representation; Subjectivity production; Adultchild relation.
