CHILDREN AND MEDIA: THREE CONTEMPORARY POLEMICAL ISSUES AND CHALLENGES

ABSTRACT

This article addresses three of the most polemical issues in current discussions about children’s lives in digital culture: adult mediation of screens used by children; the need to prepare children to deal with mass disinformation, revaluing the critical dimension of media-education; and the place reserved for children’s corporality in a digitally permeated society. The discussion suggests some theoretical-methodological perspectives that can help qualify the social debate, and contribute to studies about the relationship between children and the media.
