AN ENCOUNTER WITH LIANE MOZÈRE: POST-STRUCTURALIST PERSPECTIVES IN EARLY CHILDHOOD STUDIES

Abstract

For over thirty years, sociologist Liane Mozère has been dedicating herself to research with children from zero to three years old and with day care center professionals. She has several publications on childhood and gender and, since 2002, she began to highlight in her studies the concepts of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, with whom she worked for years, as well as the references arising from her meetings with Michel Foucault and René Schérer. In this paper, I present some reflections drawn from readings of articles by this author, since we have a few productions in Brazil on infants and very young children with emphasis on post-structuralist studies.

Keywords: Early childhood; post-structuralist studies; day care centers.
