The dissertation shows the struggle academics, lawyers, judges and courts
sort out- here called legal agents – to impose law concepts of childhood;
how through the different speeches they try to legitimate the production
and interpretation of the corpus juris in the legal field of childhood law,
considering the rules and principles of the rights of children; and how
such discourses become habitus internalized by the society and repeated
from generation to generation, making them legal truths and proposals
to remedy the violation of the rights of children in Colombia.
