Description
Summary:The article makes a historical follow-up of the ways how the child has been regarded from the classical Greek world to the condition of a full citizen capable of questioning the adult world. This tour goes through the medieval conceptions and modernity that do not recognize the child as a subject entitled to rights and confine them to the private space with the sole choice of being their parents’ property. The arguments wielded marked them as incapable, deserving the paternalistic intervention of the family and the State. The route ends with the contemporary approaches about the need to assume the child as a full citizen.
