Abstract

The dissertation "The Buscativa Rua and Rua: an anthropological analysis of programs of care to children and adolescents living on the streets in the city of Campina Grande / PB 'tries to examine the daily lives of educators who work in government organizations with children and adolescents "homeless" and analyze their conceptions and representations of this juvenile population. The purpose is to understand the look of these social actors, more specifically, the causes they attribute to the existence of this "social problem" and, thereafter, to reflect on the role of the service network in this specific context. To learn how to operate these programs that are part of the service network, was ethnographic study of everyday life in the street these educators and their relationships with the children and adolescents they serve. Considering the set of representations and conceptions presented, we identified the following figurative model of this social reality: "Children and adolescents living on the streets are victims and / or offenders"; "are a result of socio-economic policy of social exclusion", "are the children of poor parents and" dysfunctional family ". With the intention to achieve the proposed goal, through participant observation, social educators street were closely monitored, and, through them, sought to understand, in a way, the universe of children "street" and "on the street".
