Entre denominações geracionais: o que as narrativas acadêmicas nos ensinam sobre crianças e jovens digitais

From the emergency of many generational denominations and the intense relationship of children and youth with the digital artifacts (tablets, smartphones, among others), this article - registered under the theoretical framework of Cultural Studies in Education - aims to investigate in what context and under which conditions the production of digital children and young people has been possible. The study presents three movements: an overview of the generation concept; the mapping of academic narratives; an analysis of how these narratives are implicated in producing a type of generation and a “digital” education. The theoretical referential is based on authors such as Feixa and Leccardi, Tapscott, Prensky, Carr and Buckingham. The narratives also point out the beneits and dangers of technological immersion, which has permeated the convocation for the use of technological devices in school spaces
