BARNA, Agustín. Circulation of children: between state actions and popular initiatives. Runa [online]. 2019, vol.40, n.2, pp.169-184.  Epub 19-Dez-2019. ISSN 1851-9628.  http://dx.doi.org/10.34096/runa.v40i2.6272.

In this article, from the reconstruction and in-depth analysis of an ethnographic situation which is a part of an investigation in a Local Service of Protection of Children’s Rights of the Buenos Aires conurban, I try to characterize some significant dimensions of the contemporary modalities of childhood management in the era of their rights. I reconstruct here interactions that, within the framework of normative and moral horizons that ponder “co-responsibility” and “community participation” in the “restitution of children’s rights”, expose particular imbrications in which certain state actions are overprinted on a repertoire of popular initiatives linked to relationships of mutual aid and proximity. Social practices such as the circulation of children expose a deeply complex and hybrid configuration, in which state productivity and popular initiatives; formality and informality; durability and mutability; adoption, guards and fosterage, converge to varying degrees.

Palavras-chave : Children’s rights; Children’s circulation; State productivity; Popular initiatives.
