Childhood, Sacred or Sacrificed?
The presumed sanctuary of innocence, childhood seems to be placed under surveillance: that of the early screening of delinquency and that of juvenile consumerism that colonizes children's imagination.

To escape this alternative, a conversation to understand our new relationship with childhood.
