| Summary: |
The aim of this paper is to attain a theoretical reflection based on empirical data about childhood representations and the institutional doings on unequal social contexts existing nowadays in Argentina. We understand childhood as a sociohistorical concept and, therefore, analyse the existing relationship between national and international regulations currently in force, discourses, and the institutional doings as regards the (always diverse and heterogeneous) topic of childhood. We ask ourselves how do past childhood representations and models act and how this makes the actual fulfillment of children rights in institutional settings more complex. We will focus particularly on a diurnal institution located in one of the peripheral neighbourhoods of the City of Bahía Blanca, in the south of Buenos Aires province, Argentina. |
