Abstract

YARZA, Claudia. THE OVER-INFANTILIZATION OF CHILDREN: A PROBLEM FOR US ALL. Revista Teias [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.52, pp.150-157.  Epub Mar 10, 2020. ISSN 1982-0305.  https://doi.org/10.12957/teias.2018.30534.

The work takes as its axis the critique of adultism that has been expressed by an experience of organization of children and adolescents that in Latin America is called "children's protagonism". Adultism and paternalism, however, may be related to the coloniality that introduced incapacitation on Indians, women, blacks; therefore, with a microphysics of power, the fruit of modernity, which is tendentially global and, under the current dominant form of governmentality, comes to an infantilization of the citizens and correlatively, to the corrosion of subjectivity and politics.

Keywords : “children’s protagonism”; adultism; governmentality.
