Who is really pedophile, after all?

This article raises questions about some aspects of the contemporary debate concerning the "new" modes of experimenting erotic and sexual desires, especially pedophilia/the pedophile. It discusses the resignification of these concepts over the last years. The starting points are the Cultural Studies and the Gender Studies, in a post-structuralist analysis approach. I intend to show that, despite the attempts of confining/regulating/ categorizing certain behaviors regarding sexuality into specific fields of knowledge, they leak, slip, escape from the meanings attributed to them.

Childhood; Gender; Sexuality; Pedophilia
