Abstract

RICO MONTOYA, Angélica. Being a Zapatista at 4 years old. Socialization and subjectivity of Tseltal children. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2021, vol.27, e36961.  Epub Aug 06, 2021. ISSN 1981-0431.  https://doi.org/10.26512/lc27202136961.

Through a pedagogical and autonomous political process, the Zapatistas not only counteract the counterinsurgency war Mexican Government, since 1994, but also promote the sociocultural reproduction and change of the new generations, configuring the socio-educational practices of children. This article reviews the processes of socialization and subjectivation of children under 6 years of age, as well as the intersubjective relationships that they establish with their elders. The youngest children teach us with their words, games and attitudes what it means to be a Zapatista, to live in resistance in the face of war, contradicting the hegemonic paradigm about early childhood.

Keywords : Early childhood indigenous; Dialogic research; Sociology of Childhood.
