Abstract
This article presents a theoretical discussion that articulates Social Studies of Childhood and the concepts of identity and culture from the perspective of Cultural Studies. To understand childhood socialization as a result of the experiences shared by children in their relations with their peers and with adults, the text follows possible dialogues between the post-structuralist conception of cultural identity discussed by Stuart Hall and the concept of interpretive reproduction formulated by William Corsaro. Thus, it proposes the use of the concept of cultural identity as an approach for studying children, for it contributes to the reflection on the cultural context in which they are inserted and in which they perform their interpretive reproduction.
