SOCIALIZATION AS INTERPRETATIVE REPRODUCTION – A SKETCH OF WILLIAM A. CORSARO’S CONCEPTION OF SOCIALIZATION

Summary/Abstract: Socialization is usually connected with the influence of adults on children. This influence is aimed at transferring the models of behaviour, norms and values embedded in culture as well as at developing in children the skills adequate for functioning in a given community. This is a deterministic model of socialization. Nowadays, the children are perceived as the creative social subjects. The article presents a conception of socialization formulated by William A. Corsaro, a sociologist who specializes in ethnography of children’s culture. The author claims that children produce their unique peer cultures. These cultures contribute to the creation of the societies of adults. Children’s experiences gathered within peer cultures do not disappear with time; rather, they become an important part of children’s personal life path.
