Abstract

RODRIGUEZ-PASCUAL, Iván. From invisibility to stigmatization? Sociology of adultism in times of pandemic. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2020, vol.26, e36364.  Epub May 19, 2021. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc.v26.2020.36364.

In this text we start from an approach based on the study of secondary sources, as well as the discourse produced in traditional and digital media to identify signs of adultism in the context of the management of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain. We find both evidence of a clear invisibility of children and of a tendency towards their stigmatization that extends to the young and adolescent population. In conclusion, we understand that the relationship between the pandemic and the exacerbation of adultism is confirmed. We also demand more comparative research to understand if this should be considered a global phenomenon that could lead to a regressive context for social welfare of children and adolescents.
