Abstract

CARLI, Sandra. Notas para pensar la infancia en la Argentina (1983-2001): figuras de la historia reciente. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2010, vol.26, n.01, pp.351-381. ISSN 0102-4698.

This paper analysis, through a historiographic perspective, the impact of the recent Argentine history in the way children from different social stratification enjoy their childhood. Having the end of the military regime as a landmark, in the 1980's, our goal is to apprehend how the globalization process, perceived not only as an economic but also sociocultural phenomenon, resulted in the transformation of the childhood experience. On the one hand, globalization arouses the intensification of a culture of consumption, which regards children as a key target in a privileged market. New products have been introduced generating the homogenization of the culture of childhood. On the other hand, such homogenization has affected children of different social stratification and their access to consumption, in an extremely poor country. This way, the cultural homogenization went along with the production of new inequalities and the heterogenization of children’s social conditions.

Keywords : Childhood; Argentine; Globalization; Inequality.
