CERLETTI, Laura  y  SANTILLAN, Laura. Adult responsibilities in children’s education and care: Historical-ethnographic discussions. Cuad. antropol. soc. [online]. 2018, n.47, pp.87-103. ISSN 1850-275X.

In the field of education and intervention on childhood, contemporarily, a discourse establishing a relatively new distribution of adult responsibilities that enhances parental figures as a condition for children’s wellbeing and development has become hegemonic. According to an anthropological perspective, in this paper we analyze continuities and change in hegemonic representations of adult responsibilities regarding the education and upbringing of children, as well as the diverse appropriations that take place in everyday-life contexts. Analysis is based on the ethnographic accounts constructed throughout our research processes, during which fieldwork was conducted in the City of Buenos Aires and its suburbs.

Palabras clave : Parental Responsibility; Children’s Education and Care; Hegemonic Regulations; Appropriations; Historical-Ethnographic Approach.
