The text examines the conditions of database production on research for, with and about children, childhood and Early Childhood Education, identifying studies conducted on the relationship between childhood, popular education and social movements. The work is theoretical and bibliographic in nature and is located in the field of metaresearch, which is a research about researches. A total of 2,246 academic papers were catalogued, including 1,055 dissertations (46.97%), 395 theses (17.58%), 395 ANPEd papers (17.58%) and 401 articles (17.87%). Of this collection, only six studies specifically had as a theme the relationship between popular education, social movements and childhood. We conclude that metaresearch and the use of databases are relevant strategies to value, strengthen and qualify the investigations we are conducting in Brazilian universities and other research centers.

This paper is the result of reflections inspired by observing and participating in dancing sessions with children. Our experience of the latter led to the production of images that provoked a variety of questions, and invited us to think about the relationships between bodies, dance, and various forms of education. Among these questions were: what clues about the experience of human embodiment are given through observing children's dance? What can children teach us through participating with them in this performative medium, and what are its implications for education, most especially in light of our observations of children's inventiveness in this regard? Our impressions resonate and find expression in the oeuvre of Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, Michel Foucault, Jan Masschelein and Manoel de Barros. Placing ourselves under their influence, we mobilized our thinking and opened ourselves to the emergent character of their ideas, resulting in what might be called a form of "dancing-writing" in which those two forms of expression interact. This dancing-writing is informed by and imbued with children's lived experience: step by step, we walked the paths that they opened, recording as best we could their multisensorial approach to the world--gaze, taste, smell, sound, touch, movement. Ours was an experience of research on movement, with movement, in movement. As such, we harbor no intention to present final answers, but rather offer the reader an invitation to think philosophically and childishly. Ours is an invitation to dance with and among the questions which that very dance inspired. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper I intend to analyze the plausibility of putting together two statements of Montaigne about himself. In the essay about the education of the children, Montaigne claims not to have heard any word of French or Perigordian before his six years; in the essay about experience, he tells us that his father sent him to be brought up in a poor village, and kept him there as long as he was been nursed. My point is that it seems implausible that Montaigne have not heard at least any word of Perigordian during his childhood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses how assumptions about the nature of childhood have been triggered in the confrontations about the legitimacy of gender and sexuality themes in education in contemporary Brazil. We analyse two practical-discursive pitfalls that have been consolidated in these confrontations. The first, forged by anti-gender discussion and education activists, consists in the narrative construction of vulnerable childhood to be protected, and triggers moral panic at the prospect of discussions about gender and sexuality in schools. The second, more subtle trap, concerns the situation of passivity attributed to students in the school context, who are considered to be the subjects of instruction by teachers, including those moments when gender and sexuality issues are addressed in the classroom. The image of a child-prisoner, passive and in danger made-up by the "gender ideologues," populates the narratives analysed in the first part of the paper. It allows us to discuss the political uses of the hyperinflation of this idea of child vulnerability. However, even in educational practices that invest in working gender and sexuality matters in school setting, we observe that children can be conceived as lacking agency, such as discussed in the paper's second part. In order to challenge these logics, we highlight the ludic dimension and playing with conceptual and methodological tools that can contribute to a non-pedagogizing approach to gender and sexuality in education.

Este texto apresenta reflexões acerca das relações entre cultura, educação e infância, a partir de estudos que se debruçaram sobre a temática da infância e dos museus, e do acompanhamento das visitas realizadas pelo público infantil ao Museu Internacional de Arte Naïf do Brasil, localizado na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. A investigação teve como objetivo contribuir para o diálogo entre os campos da Educação e da Museologia com vistas à garantia do direito de acesso e ao atendimento de qualidade das crianças pequenas a esses espaços. Com os resultados da pesquisa, foi aferido que os museus possuem um enorme potencial no desenvolvimento de momentos lúdicos de aprendizagem para o público infantil, desde que se diminua a lacuna nos estudos teóricos que elucidam as especificidades da infância nesses espaços.

Current paper analyzes the textbook called Pequena História da Educação by Sisters Francisca Peeters and Augusta de Cooman (1936), which was widely used in Training Colleges in Brazil. The concept of History, Education and Childhood in the textbook are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper raises the issue of constructing one's own name in childhood by adopting the psychoanalytic perspective as its theoretical investigative approach. Thus, we consider the occurrence of language and the relational tie as privileged operators in subjective constitution, as the human infant is overwhelmed by the language that precedes and surrounds it. In this immersion, the child inherits a name from another and is called on to respond by that name. However, the appropriation of this name requires a solidary movement that corresponds to the recognition of one's own body. Such operators are established by the mark of a subjective initium, which is the first step for the constitution of the subject. By considering these factors, we intend to establish a dialogue with the field of education, since the school plays a mediating role in this process, which for each child, authenticates the acquisition of their own name.
