POSADA-GIRALDO, Diana María. Childhood through life stories of grandparents, parents and grandchildren. Changes and constancy (1950-2020). Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2021, n.82, pp.367-386. Epub 05-Abr-2022. ISSN 0120-3916. https://doi.org/10.17227/rce.num82-11379.
This research article explores the changes and the constancy in the conceptions of childhood that emerge from a series of biographical-narrative stories of grandparents, parents and grandchildren from ten intergenerational triads1, originating in the Colombia municipality of El Carmen de Viboral, sub region of Eastern Antioquia located 54 kms from Medellin. The time span of this research is between the years of 1950 to 2020. The data was collected through a combination of both narrative and episodic interviews. In the case of the grandchildren between the ages of five and six, a game-type conversation was used with the participation and assistance of the mothers. A generational-analysis technique was used to analyze the data. The overall findings show the predominance of childhood as an experience, as a space and a temporality. Similarly, the findings reveal tensions between the conception of modern childhood as a stage of development and the progress towards the inception of childhood as a subject of law that decimates the exercise of power by adults,- based on punishment and fear- , and empowers children and young people as subjects of knowledge.
