GOMEZ-MENDOZA, Miguel ángel  y  ALZATE-PIEDRAHITA, María Victoria. Contemporary childhood. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2014, vol.12, n.1, pp.77-89. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1213040513.

We present the analytical results of the consultation of a representative documentary "corpus" from the social research about the current status of the studies on childhood. The criteria to undertake the analysis and presentation of the results are: variety of social conceptions; historical origin and sociological perspective; the social experience of childhood; images or representations that society has thereof; the conflicting developments of children's rights in terms of education and legal punishment; and the future of modern childhood as subject of the media. Historians, anthropologists, teachers, jurists and sociologists analyze the different systems of childhood representations constituted in time and space.

Palabras clave : childhood; population; age group; boy or girl; early childhood; early childhood education; the mass media; children's rights.
