The seminar focuses primarily on defining the concepts of child 'and childhood' from a

psychological perspective concentrated on psychological writings of the following researchers:

S. Freud (Freud's life and his theory of psychoanalysis), L. DeMause (psychology and

psychoanalyst; psychoanalytical, psychohistorical and psychogenetic approach to the

phenomenon of childhood; childhood as a nightmare and the question of its self-awareness),

Ariès’s theses (the role of the family in the process of upbringing; school as an instrument of

socialization; black pedagogy; adults perspective of the child’s world). In this context, the theses

of contemporary researchers of children studies, oscillating around current pedagogical and

psychological concepts, such as: demographic issues, intergenerational conflicts, liberal and

conservative variants of the family, the crisis of values, the role of media and technological

innovations in the process of education and the "pedagogization" of childhood, are also of key

importance.

These considerations will be supplemented with information on other scientific disciplines: 1.

Childhood and childhood as categories of theoretical analysis, 2. The phenomenon of childhood

in an interdisciplinary approach, 3. The child in the light of philosophical and anthropological

research, 4. The child and its social and cultural space (films, plays, musicals and children's and

children's literature), 5. A child in contemporary German-speaking and Polish culture - an

attempt to compare.
