Frontiere in movimento della storia dell’infanzia, oggi

Abstract

The essay addresses issues of methodology and historiography. The research on the history of children are growing, pluralistic and articulated. The author insists that this historiographical revolution is still ongoing and emphasizes on the intricate identity of childhood. This paper focuses on two specific paradigms: “childhood itself” and “the long duration” and provides an important reflection on the current state of research on childhood.
