Bürgerschaft von unten - Kinderrechte und soziale Bewegungen von Kindern
Get PDF"Der Autor diskutiert die Frage, worin Bürgerschaft von Kindern in den zeitgenössischen Gesellschaften bestehen kann und an welche Voraussetzungen sie geknüpft ist. Hierzu stellt er verschiedene Konzepte von Bürgerschaft vor und diskutiert sie unter dem Aspekt ihrer Relevanz und Realisierungschancen für Kinder. Besonderes Augenmerk legt er auf eine Form von Bürgerschaft, die im Kontext sozialer Bewegungen von Kindern entsteht und die er als 'Bürgerschaft von unten' bezeichnet. In ihr manifestieren sich nicht nur Ansprüche auf Schutz, staatliche Leistungen und Partizipation, sondern eine Praxis, die auf Selbstorganisation beruht und die Möglichkeit einer gestaltenden Rolle von Kindern in der Gesellschaft unterstreicht." (Autorenreferat)"The author discusses the question, what children's citizenship in contemporary society can imply and what the preconditions for such a citizenship are. To this end, he introduces different concepts of citizenship and discusses them under the aspect of their relevance for children and their chances of realisation. A special emphasis lies on one form of citizenship that develops in the context of children's social movements, which the author calls 'citizenship from below'. In this concept not only claims to protection, public services and participation are manifested, but a practice that is based on self-organisation and the possibility of a formative role of children in society is underlined."

Sobre el interés superior de los niños y la evolución de las facultades
Get PDFThe concept of the best interests of the child is one of the leading principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. In order to understand it as reference and possible impulse for the agency of children, the author analyzes this principle together with another principle codif ied in the Convention: the principle of the evolving capacities. In order to relate it with children’s real life, the author discusses different forms of understanding this principle, which go beyond legal aspects. With reference to the Capability Approach, he concludes with a review of the assumptions on the development and acknowledgement of children’s capacities as well as the requirements for their realization.En la Convención internacional sobre los Derechos del Niño, el concepto del interés superior del niño es uno de sus principios rectores. Para comprenderlo como referente y posible impulso de actuación de niñas y niños, el autor analiza este principio en conjunto con otro principio que igualmente queda establecido por la Convención: el principio de la evolución de las facultades. Para relacionarlo con la vida real de las niñas y los niños, el autor explica, más allá de sus aspectos legales, diferentes formas de entender este principio. Con referencia al enfoque de las “capabilidades” (capabilty approach), f inalmente hace hincapié no sólo en las condiciones de la evolución y del reconocimiento de las capacidades de niñas y niños sino también en las condiciones de su realización

Diskriminiert, weil sie Kinder sind: ein blinder Fleck im Umgang mit Menschenrechten
Get PDF"Der vorliegende Beitrag setzt sich mit der bisher geringen Beachtung altersspezifisch motivierter Diskriminierung von Kindern in der menschen- und kinderrechtlichen Debatte auseinander. Nach einer begrifflichen Erörterung verschiedener Konzepte und Formen von Diskriminierung entwickelt und erläutert der Autor mit Blick auf Kinder eine Typologie vier verschiedener Muster altersspezifischer Diskriminierung: Maßnahmen und Strafen gegen unerwünschte Verhaltensweisen von Kindern, die bei Erwachsenen geduldet werden oder als normal gelten; Maßnahmen, die mit der besonderen Schutzbedürftigkeit von Kindern begründet werden, aber letztlich zu einer zusätzlichen Benachteiligung der Kinder führen; der im Vergleich zu Erwachsenen beschränkte Zugang zu Rechten, Gütern, Einrichtungen und Dienstleistungen; Nicht-Beachtung der sozialen Gruppe der Kinder bei politischen Entscheidungen, die im späteren Leben der Kinder und für nachfolgende Generationen negative Auswirkungen haben. Der Autor versteht seinen Beitrag als Herausforderung für die Theoriebildung zu Ungleichheitsdimensionen in der Kindheits- und kinderrechtlichen Forschung." (Autorenreferat)"This contribution deals with the little attention paid until now to the age-based discrimination of children in the human and children's rights debate. After a conceptual discussion of different concepts and forms of discrimination, the author develops and describes - with a view to children - a typology of four different patterns of age-based discrimination: measures and punishments against unwanted behavior in children which is tolerated or considered normal in adults; measures justified by children's special need for protection but in the long run additionally disadvantage children; limited access of children - compared to adults - to rights, goods, facilities and services; failure to consider the social group of children in political decisions that will have negative effects on the later lives of children and on following generations. The author understands his contribution as a challenge to develop a theory on the dimensions of inequality in childhood and children's rights research." (author's abstract
Los movimientos de los niños y niñas trabajadores. Un enfoque desde la sociología
Get PDFPara comprender los aspectos significativos de los movimientos y organizaciones de niños, y niñas trabajadores (NATs), que surgen en varias regiones del hemisferio sur desde los años 1980, el autor se refiere a un concepto del niño y la niña como sujeto capaz de interpretar sus realidades y actuar de manera consciente. Primero, se examina si hay puntos en común en el auto concepto de los NATs y sus organizaciones. Segundo, se discute la categoría del sujeto social, preguntando en qué medida dicha categoría representa estos puntos comunes, pero también a qué prerrequisitos sociales y culturales está ligado el hablar de sujeto social. Tercero, el autor pregunta qué efectos tienen o pueden esperarse de los movimientos de NATs, ya sea en los niños involucrados o en la sociedad que los rodea y que comparten. Finalmente, se concentra en las implicaciones que tiene el enfoque orientado en el sujeto para comprender el fenómeno del trabajo infantil en toda su complejidad, en particular en sus significados para los niños y niñas trabajadores.With the intention to understand the significant aspects of the movements and organizations of working children (NATs), that have sprung up in various regions of the Southern hemisphere since the 1980s, the author refers to a concept of the child as a subject, that is able to interpret his realities and to act in a conscious way. Firstly, he questions whether there is a common ground shared by the working children and their organizations. Secondly, he discusses the category social subject asking to what extent it represents this common ground, but also on which social and cultural prerequisites the discourse on social subjects depends. Thirdly, the author questions what possible effects these organizations have on the children themselves and on the society they live in. Finally, he concentrates on the implications that the subjectorientated approach has for the understanding of the phenomena of children’s work in its whole complexity, particularly in its significances for the working children
Paternalism, Participation and Children’s Protagonism
No full text* Focus on Latin America | Research Articles
Referring to the Working Children and Adolescents’ Movements (NATs) of Latin America, the paper explains the concepts and expressions of children’s protagonism as an answer to typical paternalistic social structures and reduced concepts of participation. After distinguishing traditional from modern kinds of paternalism, the paper demonstrates the ways in which NATs challenge paternalism and explains the origins of the debate over children’s protagonism. The paper then discusses the different forms, previous conditions, appropriate elements and different levels of realization of children’s protagonism. The author concludes that children’s protagonism requires from society the amplification of children’s possibilities to participate not only in “children’s matters,” but in all issues of society; in other words, to recognize children as citizens
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
