TRABALHO INFANTIL ARTÍSTICO E AS CONSEQUÊNCIAS DO PALCO: BASTIDORES QUE NINGUÉM MOSTRA

Abstract

Childhood is a social construction guided by cultural, philosophical, economic and religious issues, going through phases, in which they may suffer violations of their rights. Child labor has grown worldwide, and it is no different in the Brazilian context. This type of work demonstrates a violation of the human rights of children and adolescents. Although there are legal mechanisms that aim to eradicate this type of exploitation, around the world millions of children and adolescents continue to be subjected to work activities that are inappropriate for their age group, with the consequence of compromising their full physical, intellectual and Social. In view of this, this article aimed to analyze, in the light of the Brazilian legal system, what is the understanding about the artistic child labor of children and / or adolescents. This work was developed through the study of updated bibliography on the theme of child labor, artistic child labor and human and child development. The works studied point to the complexity of the problem, which does not take into account how the pressure exerted by the cameras and searchlights impact a child's well-being, the child's view of himself, his body and his role in the social and in your family, assigning you responsibilities that are beyond your age. In addition, there was a need for more specific and effective regulation regarding artistic child labor, to avoid the exploitation of these minors and the effects resulting from such exploitation, such as school dropout, psychological and physical damage and problems with self-image among others.
