Sumario:This article aims to reflect on the relationship between Childhood, State, and Society in contemporary Latin America. To do this, we take Shakespeare's tragic work "Julius Caesar," written in the 14th century, and construct portraits from dialogues between this literary work and from the field of childhood and feminism. These portraits, which are intrinsically related, intend to dismantle problematic knots around the production of childhood. We understand that the signing of the Convention on the Rights of the Child represents an important moment that tensions historical discourses and interventions in this field. From this point, we invite you to explore the reading of the six portraits as a correlate that allows identifying and elaborating reflections on childhood as a historical production situated in different disputes for hegemony. To conclude, we list some reflections in order to open debates and continue studying childhood from a critical reading based on the literary work of William Shakespeare as a contribution to rethinking the social.
