MEDEIROS, Larissa Gonçalves  and  LEMOS, Flávia Cristina Silveira. The production of "circulation of children": between catch and nomadism. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2011, vol.11, n.3, pp. 933-947. ISSN 1808-4281.

The present article aims to make an analysis about the "circulation of children" based in anthropological studies, discussing it as a strategy of questioning the naturalization operated around the ideas of childhood and family, giving visibility to the regimes of truth that constituted them and the effects produced by them, especially in practices of psychologists and other social workers. It presents a discussion about the concept of risk paths and about the medical and psycho-pedagogical practices that sustain power relations over children's bodies anchored in a developmental logic and with places foreseen to them by specialists. The text ends with an analytical to disassemble the device of circulation in its links with the security policy, in favor of the constitution of a nomadic existence as resistance to catches that limit the inventive power of child's.
