PIZZO, M. Elisa; GRIPPO, Leticia; PANZERA, M. Gabriela  and  GOMEZ MARI, Ailín. Children rights recognition in girls and boys narratives in a study on "grammar of adult-child relation". Anu. investig. [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.2, pp.323-330. ISSN 1851-1686.

This paper is based on a study (UBACYT 2011-2014) that describes the implicit and/or explicit principles that children create to describe, organize and regulate their relationships with adults, within our socio-cultural environment. It is a qualitative inquiry with a descriptive- interpretative design and an intentional and small sample. This article presents the ideas of girls and boys from 8 to 12 years old from different socioeconomic and cultural groups. The methodology included several resources to promote children narratives: a tale and two cartoons. We implemented individual interviews and focus groups which led to the construction of emergent categories. Results are discussed considering the historical variation of Childhood representations and the ongoing construction of children citizenship.
