Bases of discursive architecture that settled the invention of childhood in modernity

Abstract

We propose to write this text seeking to resume the discussion of the bases of discursive architecture that settled childhood in the modern Western world, taking great inspiration in the legacy of Enlightenment thought of the 18th and 19th centuries. that they are, but under the conditions of possibility for them to be constituted in such a way. Thus, it is set in motion from four discursive architectures: research by Philippe Ariès and foucaultian criticisms; the pedagogization of the child's sex; modern pedagogy; and, finally, a discussion of whether there would be the death of childhood constituted in modernity.
