metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article demonstrates that the contemporary socio-humanitarian tendency in the study of children
  is a field open to interdisciplinary studies of childhood to which sociological studies of childhood can
  play special role. The article problematisizes the validity of “division” of childhood researchers on the
  subject-object ground into “two camps”: those who claim that the child is the object and those who believe
  that the child is the subject of public life. Paper emphasizes that the contemporary understanding
  of the child in the texts of L. Alanen, W. A. Corsaro, A. James, A. Prout, V. Zelizer and others draws up
  new horizons in the study of childhood that lead one to rethink the position of children in social research.
  The paper shows what roles (positions) children are assigned to in socio-humanitarian studies
  today and the interpretations of childhood they are based upon. The article points out four main views
  on the role of children in studies of childhood presented by P. Christensen and A. Prout. 1. The child
  as an object, this approach follows the understanding of children as irresponsible and dependent on
  adults. 2. The child as the subject, the approach is based on the recognition of the cognitive abilities of
  children and their social competence according to their age. 3. The child as the social actor. According
  to this approach, the subjectivity of the child extends to his own understanding and his own experience.
  4. The child as a participant or co-researcher based on the representation of children as active
  citizens who “must be involved, informed, consulted and heard”. The paper argues that the approaches
  should be viewed as coexisting rather than mutually exclusive. Refs. 25.
