Abstract

The article presents a brief cartographic mapping, of Deuleuzo-Guattarian conception, which seeks - from a theoretical-methodological point of view - to highlight the main lines of force/trends of material and symbolic (re)produced culture that circulates towards the children and youth - linked to the official policy of the Brazilian State and the so-called “cultural/spiritual war” - as well as the possible assemblages of this (i) materiality in the imagination and affections of childhood and youth, considering the exercise of alterity that democratic practices presuppose from the beginning of life. The manipulation by language, through the moral/spiritual and belligerent appeal has been increasing in the country, starting with the currents leaderships of the Bolsonaro government. In this analytical path, seeks to emphasize the role of (i) materiality in Childhood Studies also in times of cultural aberration. Likewise, from a post-trans-humanist conception, cartography seeks to put into perspective the idea of meshwork and expanded agencies (between human and non-human “things”) which, in many cases, become unsuspected by adults (or less perceptible), as in relation to the rapid growth process of socialization and the and the political hateful and violent subjectivation of children and young people, in the country and in the world.
