AnthropoChildren (eISSN 2034-8517) is an international, trilingual, open access online review (French, English, and Spanish), uploaded by the University of Liège (Belgium). The review publishes original work in the field of social and cultural anthropology of children and childhood. The review is a space devoted to dialogue between researchers, lecturers, students, professionals and society.
The importance of long-term ethnographic fieldwork and participant observation, as a step and form of relation in the reflexive process of the building of the object, is the starting point of the critical question setting of the review. If the anthropology of children and childhood, promoted by the review, can rightfully constitute a research field, it necessarily forms part of general anthropology (especially of kinship, religion, economics and politics).
The review aspires to rapprochement and to dialogue between the different anthropological academic traditions anchored in ethnographic fieldwork of/for/with groups, communities and societies of the whole world.
The published articles aim at reinforcing dialogue between anthropologists and a broader public (society, NGO’s and national and international public authorities). Thorough reflection on scientific, social, political and pedagogic debates within anthropology is also encouraged.
The review is published up to twice a year in two numbers. The selection criteria for manuscripts is the following: originality, methodological and theoretical rigor, ethnographic data, presentation and style, quality of analysis and argumentation, awareness of existing literature and contribution to the anthropology of children and childhood.
