About

The conversation about childhood here goes far beyond advice for parents. The lecture will show how the periods of growing up change under the influence of the city, digital environment, and new forms of communication, and how the dialogue between the child and the adult is restructured when old models no longer work. This lecture addresses a topic that concerns almost everyone. It will discuss the transitional periods of childhood-moments when a child changes particularly noticeably, and familiar communication patterns suddenly stop working. Today, such stages are increasingly understood through the influence of the urban environment, digital habits, and new scenarios of growing up. The event is part of the public program of an exhibition dedicated to age boundaries. The perspective is important: childhood is considered not in isolation, but in connection with adulthood, old age, the sociology of space, visual anthropology, and how a person interacts with the surrounding world. This approach helps to see age as a dynamic system of relationships, norms, and expectations, rather than a set of stages from a textbook. The lecturer is Olga Savinskaya, PhD in sociology and senior researcher at the International Laboratory for Social Integration Research at HSE. The focus will be on children's crisis periods, new boundaries of the child, and changes in their relationships with adults. The lecture will be especially useful for parents of teenagers, educators, students in the humanities, and anyone interested in the topic of modern childhood. Entertainment in Moscow is collected on our website.
