RESUMO:

By belonging to the human race, like the other elements of this species, children are universal beings. They are integral part of the structure of community life in different societies around the world. Children live their childhoods in collective ways, inserted in generationality. Moreover, in the age game, they are involved in the most varied events like family, cultural, social and human. Therefore, even in childhood, it is correct to think that children participate politically, influencing, being influenced, constraining, being constrained, determining and being determined by territorial, historical, material, subjective circumstances, etc. Children are also subjects of history, although they are not always seen as such. In fact, there is an ongoing adult effort focused on making them physically and politically invisible. Against this movement, in this work I trying to contribute to the process of children’s revelation. I want to show a small part of the childhood of the contemporary Paraíba semiarid, illuminating the political participation of the children in Catingueira - PB. I try to base this work on Interdisciplinary Studies of Children and/or Childhood. This field of study understands children as rights beings, believes in children's agency, and argues that children are social protagonists. This field also understands that, within their measure of knowledge, of their generational condition, in the midst of their historical conditioning, children are able to contribute with critical readings about the societies and communities to which they belong, like all other members of their groups. For this course, I adopted Ethnography as a methodological path. The investigative duration was extended from 2014 to 2017. During this period, virtual activities and regular visits to the field of research were carried out. The visits were made at different times, such as the Feast of São Sebastião, the Time of Politics, the Feast of João Pedro, and the common times of the local calendar. To access information, I used technical resources such as field diary, sound diary, participant observation, floating observation, moving observation, portraits, informal conversations, and interviews recorded with unstructured script, readings of local electronic journalistic periodicals. Although I visited church, families, schools, the most important part of the work was done in the middle of the street, in squares, sidewalks, soccer field, space in front of the church, religious walks, time walks of political campaigns, etc. From what I have noticed, I point out that childhood in the semiarid is at the center of human transformations, and cannot be considered as an immutable, perennial or eternal reality. The children, as will be shown, are within the movement of human transformations, giving their contribution to the different spheres of municipal life. In addition, this contribution is in the domestic sphere, and in the public ambiences. Children participate in community life when discussing varied themes, when they contribute economically, when they self-expose themselves in public ways and when they occupy social spaces. Child participation occurs also in community policy actions, those that adults organize, but also those that they do, even when adults control them or when they are accused of being bad boys.
