Abstract
This article presents an anthropological approach to the “Campaign for the Indigenous Children and Adolescents’ Rights” launched by UNICEF Argentina in September 2009, with the purpose of analyzing the social constructions of childhood, of indigenous issues and the meanings of “rights” that are there implied. Far from human rights´ ontological perspectives, we address this Campaign as a mechanism that constructs the idea of indigenous children as subjects of rights in specifi c ways. For this purpose, we examine the making process of the Campaign and its contents, attempting to clarify the precise rights and representations of indigenous children claimed therein, as well as the tensions emerged in the producing and presenting process.Downloads
