Naturalization of life: a critique of the effort to naturalize children and the musicality of children

ABSTRACT:

Childhood is a stage of human life that, among some social ideals, is characterized as something natural. In a similar way, the child and the development of his musicality pass through these perceptions, in which there is an effort to naturalize human activity. This article starts from a doctoral research and approaches this question taking the cultural-historical perspective as a theoretical presupposition, throwing a reflective and questioning look at this phenomenon, suggesting that human existence extrapolates natural determinations because it is engendered by social and cultural relations, historically constituted.
