| Sumario: | In Argentina and the region, there is a process of expansion of policies and initiatives around early childhood development as an axis of social protection. This process involves the complex intersection of narratives associated with social investment and human capital, neurosciences, and children’s rights. In this article, I inquire from an ethnographic perspective into the political and strategic uses that are deployed by actors and institutions positioned in a variable way and anchored in different trajectories and knowledge that intervene in the production of these policies. The disputed nature of these uses and the contradictory processes of institutionalization restored the political character of these narratives that appeal to languages with the pretense of neutrality. Early childhood, then, is demarcated, rather than as a mere object of technical intervention, as a node of political and epistemic disputes. |
