Abstract (2. Language): 
The literature on childhood involves various appraisals of childhood discourses from various disciplines. The romantic view of passive children as needing affection and protection is contrasted to the critical view of children that suggests defining children as empowered and active social agents. While these discourses of childhood are visible through the medium of written language, the elements of the discourses mediated through the visual images remain uncovered. In addressing this gap in the literature, this study presents a qualitative appraisal of children's visual images in newspapers and education textbooks. The study employs techniques from documentary research and offers a hybridized analysis combining constructionist approaches and content analysis of visual materials. Traces of dominant childhood discourses have been observed in the visual images of children appearing in selected newspapers and education textbooks.
Abstract (Original Language): 
Çocukluk kavramı konusunda yapılan kuramsal çalışmalarda, çocukluğun tanımlanmasına yönelik olarak çeşitli disiplinlerin farklı yaklaşımlar sergilediği görülmektedir. Tüm bu çeşitliliğe rağmen, alan yazın genel hatlarıyla çocukluk üzerine kurgulanmış iki zıt söylemin varlığına işaret etmektedir. Çocukluk kavramına romantik açıdan yaklaşan ve çocukları yetişkinlerin korumasına muhtaç, edilgen bireyler olarak kurgulayan egemen söyleme karşın çocukların etkin, yetkin ve eyleyen bireyler olarak tanımlanmasını savunan eleştirel söylem tartışmaların odak noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Çeşitli yönleriyle sosyal pratiklere yansıdığı öngörülen egemen çocukluk söylemi yazı dilinde tartışmalar yoluyla görünür kılınmış olmasına rağmen, haber medyası ve eğitim alanında görsel imgeler üzerinden çocukluğun nasıl tanımlandığı henüz saptanmamıştır. Alan yazında gözlenen bu boşluğa yönelik olarak bu çalışmanın amacı, gazeteler ve okul öncesi eğitimi ders kitaplarında kullanılan fotoğraflarda çocukluk kavramının nasıl tanımlandığını, nitel yöntemlere başvurarak değerlendirmektir. Betimsel nitelikte olan bu çalışmada, görsel belgelerin içerik analizi yapılmış ve bulgular kültürel çalışmalar alanından çeşitli yaklaşımlar ışığında yorumlanmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları doğrultusunda, egemen çocukluk söyleminin incelemeye konu olan gazete ve ders kitaplarındaki görsel imgelerle desteklendiği vurgulanmıştır.
