Il bambino e il suo ambiente: cose dei bambini e cose per i bambini nel dibattito storiografico

Abstract

This paper shows how, despite much has been done in relation to history of childhood during the second half of the twentieth century, there is still much to do. The work of Philippe Ariès is the beginning of discussion and this work is the benchmark for all authors of the history of childhood Dominique Julia and Egle Becchi have worked a lot on the “lessons of things” that part of the environment and the practical use of objects and it is socially aimed, directly or indirectly in the education of citizens. The essay offers a very articulate historical overview and a precise bibliographic reconstruction.
