uncover childhood-related practices that the visuality of adults gives children. There is evidence that supports the finding that the "image-file" for children can be read as a metaphor for indifference and as a device that is submissive to a visual regime, ultimately dramatizing hetero-normality. For this reason the authors propose the need to design a visual and expressive statute of childhood that, based on public policy, re-identifies the need to increase opportunities for autonomy in the production of the subjectivities, presence and historicity of children as an affirmation of the triple human reality: individual, society and humanity.
