Abstract
Since 1980th, and more evidently from 1990th, the Infancy Sociology has been expanding and consolidating as theoretical field for both education thoughts and culture of little child. Researches from Portugal, France and England, among others, have showed contributions and relevance of this field, considering different themes and theoretical arranges. This paper intent to put together different Infancy Sociology points of view aiming to draw an overview of their principal themes and assumptions. In this perspective, it was adopted the infant central character, concerned with the idea that kids are social authors and that the concepts about what are child (or infancy) are socially constructed. The socialization processes are also discussed and questioned, since they are important for the called infant culture. These themes, and their methods, are a challenge for Infant Sociology and may permit us to enhance what we know and what we make with and for infant.
