CHACON C., Jerry J.. Antropología e infancia: Reflexiones sobre los sujetos y los objetos. Cuicuilco [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.64, pp.133-153. ISSN 0185-1659.

According to anthropological tradition, childhood has been positioned in tangential fields of this discipline; the school of culture and personality has been the main one to cover the study of this theme. Recently, there have been studies that have focused on children; however, the new approximation requires reflection on the anthropological meaning of the same, to evaluate the theme from a cultural perspective regarding the social position of boys and girls, i.e. infancy. This involves the study of childhood from two viewpoints: from the perspective of the children themselves and their view of their environment; and, from the perspective of the society in which the children live.

Palabras llave : Anthropology; ethnography; childhood; methodology; generational relations.
