Abstract

The work presents some reflections originated from the objective of analyzing the ideas of childhood in the environment of the plot of the feature film "Zootopia: This City is the Critter", through some tools of Foucault. We consider that, in the present day, the media perform the production of docile bodies much more effectively through discourses and that it has several statements, which can not be confused as a sentence, proposition or an act speaks, since its characteristic is the function of existence. Discourse is not synonymous with language or something that names objects or even a set of signs, but rather, it is a social mechanism that imposes truths on those who hear them. When it comes to Environment, our first movement in relation to this terminology is to affirm that environment goes far beyond the forest theme, so that environment can also be the social space where the plot of the Discourse takes place. Given this situation, the need arises to analyze which types of statements for childhood are being constructed in our time and for this we observe the discursive and non-discursive practices of the plot. We identified for analysis two statements of manufactured child: dreamy child and child with misconduct. The result is a discursive network that reveals the same conception of childhood idea that works for the dominant discourse of capital. This movement was made from the analysis of the discourse and the Declarations having the Environment as the stage where they act and can draw the lines and outlines of the models of childhood required in this century. If there is a current childhood? No, there is an improved way of producing this childhood through the plasticity of statements and discursive practice, that is, what is modified here is the difference of how this child looks and the values attached to it, or rather, it is resignificated , acquiring a new garment due to the social moment that presents itself, regardless of whether it is for "good" or "evil", but for the greater good of the absolute truth that Foucault condemns so much in the discourse of capital.
