Mangrove Children, Square Children and Street Children: When landscapes are made in children's bodies: shelter spaces for (some) childhoods. Contributions of Childhood Geography to displacements child forced

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the childhoods that inhabit this world and their relationships with the space in which they live. It starts from the recognition that space is an important language and that it has relationships with human formations, including babies and children. Space is expressed in different ways in life, in landscapes, in territories, in places. These large dimensions propose axiologicals that are on the frontiers of all and their development. From this perspective, there is a spatial grammar to be considered in existing and in all situations that involve living in society. Based on the studies of the Geographies of Childhood, our aim is to contribute, in particular, to ways of looking at children in movement, subjected to forced displacements. A situation that involves many childhoods in the contemporary world and in the different territories they live. We started our reflection with the concept created by the authors of the Historical-Cultural Theory: experience (perijvanie) and from it we unfolded to the concept of spatial experience (prostranstvennoe perejivanie), in a second moment, we dialogue with the spatial narratives of some children, especially , children who live on the streets of the city of New Delhi, India, based on research carried out in previous years, systematized in the form of an academic. We conclude by reaffirming the importance of considering space in this experience. In addition to theoretical and field data, the text is written having as a guide the dialogue with Josué de Castro and his important work “Homens e Caranguejos” [Men and Crebs].
