Sumario:The research investigates the dissonances present in the discursive fields of childhood, which take place in a context of socio-political transformations in Latin America since the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, and which are reflected in the process of legitimization and institutionalization of children's rights as a new problem in society and the State, looking at the realities of Argentina and Chile. To achieve this, it analyzes childhood as a field of sociopolitical study, situating Latin America as a context that allows a particular social understanding of the construction of children's subjectivities. It reviews the scenario of modernity and its interpretative nuances as the basis of the constitution of the child-subject in Latin American modernity and its current welfare conditions in order to recognize the progress made in the implementation of the CRC in the institutions of the countries under study. In doing so, it discusses children's rights as an object of public interest and, therefore, as a matter of political decisions as a basis for revealing the socio-cultural dissonances that arise from a series of social, political and cultural perspectives that build our societies. Methodologically, the research was inscribed within the constructivist paradigm with a hermeneutic-interpretative design that considered historical and comparative dimensions. The empirical evidence was constituted from discourses of public policy and of formal and informal actors. The analysis of the information was carried out by means of a proposal of sociological analysis of the discourse... The findings show that the CRC has not succeeded in overcoming the invisibility and minorization of the social subject child and its social problems, for which reason children continue to form part of a non-place in public policy decisions and their implementation. On the other hand, the analysis of the discursive field on childhoods has made it possible to understand the tensions that still exist and explain the fracture that occurs in the responses of the political-administrative system with respect to the world of childhood, due to the persistence of the tutelary ideology and rhetoric that coexists with the ideology of integral protection.
