Resumo
Whoever keeps well informed by the media may easily notice the constant changes
of concepts, especially the ones that come from scientific studies related to the correct
procedures to keep healthy and have a long productive life. However, throughout these
changes, there are some truths that not only fall in the course of time, but also become untrue.
Therefore, based on the Foucault studies, we affirm that the conception of truth is not
established permanently, but built and rebuilt according to data collected from current
discursive reality, and also connected to power and knowledge relations that circulate in a
given time. From this point, we are concerned in discussing, in this study, hypotheses which
will help us to understand how certain statements connected to the truth of a specific time are
inserted in the discourse order and, later on, discarded and not even published anymore. This
way, we focus our analysis on childhood and childcare that were gradually acquired by the
global society. This way, in this study, our aim is to make a reflection about the historical-
discursive mechanism that can promote specific sayings and, later on, extinguish them. More
specifically: to understand how knowledge and power can act in the establisment of the truths
of a period, in relation to children.; to notice the biopower actions on the childhood, taking
into consideration the contradictions of a socially heterogeneous population such as the
Brazilian one; to situate the media as a contributer of the biopolitical technologies in the
regulation of the children population. In order to trace the outline which characterizes this
research, we need to consider the archive as the first methodological principle, according to
the conception of Foulcaut. Moreover, in consonance with his theory, we chose not to set the
corpus in only one data collection, but to set themes that, in one way or another, cross the
existence of children in the world and in the course of History. Therefore, it was under this
assumption that we selected media printed publications such as advertisements, articles,
informational booklets and so on, in order to proceed with the analysis, which results show
that the irruption and the extinction of statements socially produced occur within a movement
imposed by the articulation between discourse and history. This movement determines what
comes and goes in the discourse order, and it is caused by the relation that involves, in a way,
the power and the knowledge in the establishment of temporary truth, and in another, the
global media as the greatest propagator of these truths.
