Description
Summary:The research is based on Childhood Studies, on Parenting Culture Studies, and Critical Discourse Analysis, developed through open and semi-structured group interviews. Children show parenting as a self-sacrificing and solitary task, and give account of the different ways they seek in order to ease their parent's lives; parents, on the other hand, emphasize their constant presence as a relevant topic, besides trying to counteract the stereotypes that portray low strata parenting as violent or negligent. Conclusions highlight the reciprocal character of care between parents and children, as well as the intensification of the demands related to parenting and the status of children in neoliberal contexts, and relate these aspects to the conditions of existence of the low-income class. Keywords: childhood studies, children's perspectives, critical discourse analysis, ethics of care, parenting culture studies Financiamiento: Proyecto FONDECYT N°1160650 del Gobierno de Chile: "La relación entre padres e hijos(as) en la perspectiva de niños(as) y adultos.
