Children and Childhoods: clandestine crossings

Abstract

This text is an invitation to the production of thinking and knowledge beyond the institutional forms by which children are framed. Find in Graciliano Ramos, Machado de Assis and Clarice Lispector, visions of children in mundane Brazilian childhoods, who show how they live their experiences in arid contexts, segregated in their rights. But fiercely, these children are advancing adult frontiers to imprint traces of courage, subversion and transgression in their future memories of a culture that not only inhibits their freedoms, but also imprints, from an early age, their “due” place in the world. of big people.
