The article presents a theoretical-methodological reflection derived from research on experiences of participation and subjectivities in boys and girls, located in institutional and community contexts in three countries of the region. In opposition to the approaches that assume these people as receiving subjects per se, methodology of this study adopted narrative research, given its potential for the participants to narrate themselves, to know themselves and to transform themselves. Thus, in the first part, an ontological, epistemic and methodological approach to narrative research with children is proposed. Then, based on the field work of the study, research techniques that favor horizontal interaction for the generation of knowledge with these people are addressed, through the dialogic and the aesthetic. Finally, the conclusions are presented.

Keywords : Boy; Girl; Childhood; Narrative research; Narration; Technique.
