SANTILLAN, Laura. LAS INICIATIVAS EN PRIMERA INFANCIA BAJO ANÁLISIS: ACTORES, RACIONALIDADES Y SENTIDOS EN TORNO A LA CRIANZA Y EL CUIDADO INFANTIL. Rev. Esc. Cienc. Educ. [online]. 2016, vol.2, n.11, pp.217-235. ISSN 1851-6297.

The aim of this article is to analyze the statements and meanings displayed around children who are at their early years of life. We will set out to conduct an analysis of documental and legislative sources produced by government and non –government agencies that take part in the field of interventions regarding Early Childhood, between or to five years. Along with our interest related to the intervening actors, we wonder about the rationalities and knowledge they construct. Our hypothesis is that considering the voices that are hegemonic in this field of intervention, the principles about early childhood encourage a certain language of caring, rearing and children’s education. This language nourishes in the neutral value of science, but still, it shows moral and political meanings aimed at modeling family habits. The documental analysis is part of the anthropological fieldwork that we are carrying out in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Palabras clave : Early Childhood; Child Care; Moral Regulation; Hegemonic Statements; Inequality.
