ZALDUA, Graciela  and  LENTA, María Malena. Excluded children and teenagers and subjectivation processes: A protagonist's perspectiva. Anu. investig. [online]. 2011, vol.18, pp.311-320. ISSN 1851-1686.

From a critical perspective, stories of homeless teenager's lives are analyzed including their relationship with social discourse about infancy and adolescence. The hegemony of social discourses, that demands punishment and confinement excludes childhood and fosters children's sacrifice. Qualitative methodology was employed to design case studies to generate narratives from children and teenagers in vulnerable social situations, to research the processes exploring processes of their subjectivity. The reproduction of discrimination and social inequality, are constructed from the lack of known needs and demands, the control and possession of children's bodies by adults, violence in social discourse and gender stereotypes. This is turn redefines what can be said and thought by homeless children and teenagers. Other identities and subjective change are made possible by alternative stories and the dispositive that work to effectively implement the International Convention of Children Rights.

Keywords : Infancy; Rights; Social policies; Social discourses.
