Entre infâncias e espaços urbanos: uma etnografia do habitar das crianças do Atlântico Norte, região metropolitana de Salvador

Abstract

Entre infâncias e espaços urbanos or Among infants and urban spaces is an urban anthropological study of interdisciplinary inspiration that from an ethnography aims to understand the children’s dwelling of Atlântico Norte, part of the metropolitan region of Salvador (Bahia) used and inhabited by privileged social sectors, on the coast of Lauro de Freitas district. The reflections involve the definition of concepts such as childhood, parental network, dwelling, image and use of space; a methodological approach for the development of an urban ethnographic work with children from privileged sectors, centered on their own perceptions and not on the adults that surround them; as well as records related to the structure of the urban space and the image that the children have of this city, the activities and plays of these children, the forms of locomotion and the type of care and attention paid to them by the parental support networks.
