MILSTEIN, Diana. Infancias y política en la antropología de la educación argentina. Avá [online]. 2009, n.15, pp.00-00. ISSN 1851-1694.

Elementary education has been one of the main subject of anthropology of education in Argentina. Some studies, while relatively unknown in the field of education, have been predominant, such as the concrete reality of schools that unveils different aspects of the educational process, the teachers' work, and the links between schools and the State. In this article I bring a synthesis of those contributions and I make a critical analysis on two aspects: the perspectives upon which politics is focused, and the election of interlocutors. Regarding the first aspect, I ask how far have been incorporated the anthropological perspectives that put into question the division between political and "non political" ambits of the social life. Regarding the second aspect of my analysis, I underline the difficulty of incorporating children as authorized voices in "adult" themes such as politics.
