ARAUJO, Vania Carvalho de. Impermeability of “policies” for children: for a necessary resemantization of law. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2017, vol.40, n.3, pp.405-412. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2017.3.25981.

This article, in the form of theoretical essay, aims at reflecting on public “policies” for children who use the law as a justice mechanism for social equity. However, these policies are not translated into an experience that concerns everyone’s lives because of the impermeability of their actions. In the light of Hannah Arendt’s (1987, 1989, 2002, 2008, 2010) thoughts, this study discusses the relationship between politics, law and children. At the same time, it glimpses at a necessary re-semantization of law as an attribute of our lives in society, understanding it as an ontological principle of democratic action that can evoke new public co-responsibilities toward children and their demands for rights.

Keywords : Public Policy; Law and Children; Hannah Arendt and Law.
