The need for children's anthropology

Abstract

In this text, Langeveld underlines the horizons that open up for an anthropology of childhood in the pedagogical context. The author argues that children haven't yet been regarded as such and much less as in need for education. Childhood anthropology would come in to accomplish this given purpose, making itself different from psychology and giving an anthropological founding to pedagogy.
