Children’s Bedroom as an Instance of Socialisation

Abstract

Abstract This work presents case studies done in children’s bedrooms in Brazilian houses from socially and economically privileged families. Faced by the increasing importance of this room, a phenomenon called bedroom culture, the research analysed the materiality, and all the senses given to these spaces by parents and children. The procedures of investigation were home visits, interviews with the parents, and a video in which the child introduced their own bedroom. The authors identified: (i) furniture that gave the bedroom the aspect of a school annex; (ii) objects used as a support to remember previous generations; (iii) decorations representing a cosmopolitan ethos; and (iv) decorations pointing to a socialisation based on gender.
