Social representations of chilhood and adolescence: what´` s new?

Deadline for article submissions: July 15, 2026

The concept of social representation, understood as a form of socially constructed and elaborated knowledge, has become a strong theoretical foundation in childhood studies, particularly when exploring how images constructed by the adult world define what childhood and adolescence should be, both viewed as stages in the human life cycle. It also informs the expectations around what are considered appropriate, desirable, and expected behaviors of children and adolescents as they go through these stages. At the same time, the sociology of childhood has, since its inception, recognized that children are co-constructors of the realities of childhood and adolescence. Through their actions, they transform both the constructed frameworks, and the images projected onto them by society.
