Childhood + culture = socialization
Disposition, categorisation, reconfiguration
International Symposium
What's new in the cultural socialization of children? The 30th anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child is marked by the multiplication of research interests concerning children, who have become subjects, autonomous, educated and even transmitters, but also consumers, users and practitioners. Therefore the conference intends to reexamine the categories of childhood and of cultural objects as well as the mediation between the two, whether family, commercial or institutional oriented. The social reconsideration of childhood has been accompanied by a redefinition of the forms taken by cultural socialization and the role of each of its agents. How to shed light on the many changes occurring in the paths of cultural socialization: vertical and horizontal, strong/weak family and friendship ties, digital socialization, retro-socialization of parents by children, etc.? What are the cognitive and emotional dispositions solicited by the cultural objects consumed by children (which are not limited to objects and content specifically intended for them)? And how do these objects contribute to cultural socialization? These are some of the questions that will be central to the symposium, which will articulate plenary sessions, scientific and professional workshops (more than 30 speakers expected).
The program is organized around three themes:
Theme #1: Studying Young Children: Towards a Sociology of Development?
Theme #2: Reproduction of Cultural Inequalities: International Perspectives
Theme #3: Socialization and ICT: Re-enchanting the World of Culture
Each theme combines plenary sessions, scientific workshop sessions (S) and professional workshops (P). Plenary lectures are delivered either in French or in English and are translated into the other language, whether scientific workshop sessions and professional workshops will be held in French or English.
Organization:
The conference is co-organized by the Department of Studies, Foresight and Statistics (Ministry of Culture), the CIRCEFT-ESCOL research team (University of Paris 8) and the Centre Georges Pompidou.
