NARODOWSKI, Mariano  e  SNAIDER, Carolina. Babies at school? Hyper-schooling of infancy in a prefigurative culture. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.45-57. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1510121052016.

In the City of Buenos Aires, there has been important growth in preschool enrollment for over a decade. The empirical data evidences a significant increase in enrollment, the privatization of preschool education and the prevalence of unsatisfied demand: What cultural and demographic changes underlie the general demand that more babies should go to school? The emergence of a new era starting with a change in thinking, and a new conceptualization of childhood and adulthood is proposed. Through Margaret Mead's concept of "prefigurative culture", we hypothesize the devaluation of the adult-parental sacrifice.
