VERGARA-DEL SOLAR, Ana; CHAVEZ-IBARRA, Paulina; PENA-OCHOA, Mónica y VERGARA-LEYTON, Enrique. Childhood and adulthood in Chile today: A discursive study with boys and girls from Santiago. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1235-1247. ISSN 1692-715X. https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14224051115.
In this article, the results of a study exploring the discourses on childhood and adulthood of boys and girls from different socioeconomic strata of Santiago are discussed, achieved through open group interviews carried out in mixed gender and single sex settings. Within this framework, children tended to construct discursive antonyms to represent their notions of childhood and adulthood, such as play vs. work, freedom vs. compliance, innocence vs. conscience and poor vs. wealthy childhoods. In addition, class and gender differences are also analyzed, as well as complex and contradictory conceptions of childhood and adulthood present in these discourses, which express cultural ambivalence within a context of increasing neo-liberalization.
