BERTOLI, Anny. Ethnography in collaboration and social representations about childhood: from what is said to what is done. Diálogos sobre educ. Temas actuales en investig. educ. [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.20, 00005.  Epub 07-Abr-2021. ISSN 2007-2171.  https://doi.org/10.32870/dse.v0i20.594.

The article proposes a reflection on an experience of collaborative ethnography with children and youths of the “Children as Peacemakers” social movement in Bogotá, Colombia. During her fieldwork, the researcher became aware of her own social representations about childhood and how these conflicted with some ethical and theoretical tenets of collaborative ethnography. For this reason, this paper aims to show how collaborative ethnography allows the researcher to shed light on popular wisdom about childhood that still exists and may influence research work with children and youths.
