Resumen
This paper develops a theoretical framework for the analysis of the category of “adultcentrism” [adultocentrismo] from the conceptual approaches formulated by Michel Foucault’s genealogical analysis of the forms of production of truth and of practices. Placing ourselves in a foucauldian framework, the “adultocentrism” is formulated as the join of knowledge and practices on several levels: the formation of regimes of truth, the discipline in the institutions, adult-coloniality, and biopolitics of the cultural industry. In this sense, it is recognized that such join generates representations of youthfulness that require a critical approach from pedagogy as the possibility of dialogue on emerging knowledge and sensitivities.
