TEBET, Gabriela Guarnieri de Campos  y  ABRAMOWICZ, Anete. O bebê interroga a sociologia da infância. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2014, vol.20, n.41, pp.43-61. ISSN 1981-0431.

The aim of this article is to constitute theoretically the category “baby” within the Sociology of Childhood, as Chris Jenks did in 1982, for the child, initially in his text “Constituting the child.” From a study based on the contributions of genealogy (as proposed by Foucault), we discuss the use of concepts and methodologies, proposed by the Sociology of Childhood for the study of babies, such as the concepts of childhood, generation and peer cultures. Based on an analysis of the theoretical and bibliographical production of English-language authors in Sociology of Childhood, we emphasize the need to constitute the baby theoretically as a concept and independent analytical category.

Palabras clave : Baby; Difference; Singularity; Sociology of Childhood; Research Methodology.
