| Sumario: | During the last decades, both at national and international levels, the problem of “sexual violence” against children and adolescents has been increasingly acquiring visibility in the public space. This article seeks to problematize the ways in which such violence is identified and signified, and through these operations the categories and the intelligibility frameworks available to feel, explain and act on them are also constructed. To this end, the article combines an analysis of the construction of sexual abuse as a category, as a social problem, and as an issue of the political agenda in the West with an ethnography of its daily treatment by organizations dedicated to the protection of the rights of children and adolescents in the City of Buenos Aires between 2005 and 2009, in the context of the institutionalization of the children’s rights cause. |
