Resumo

This study is included in the specific field ``baby studies{''}. We focus on borders in daycare as a dynamic space between materiality and individuation in infant life. We aim to explore how infants deal with borders in a daycare, dialoguing with the fields of Human Geography, Actor-network theory, and Cultural Psychology, considering borders as a dynamic process between materiality and individuation, and space as the sum of all our connections. We carried out fieldwork in French and Brazilian day nurseries, using the participant observation method. We discuss four types of boundaries: functional borders with a structural role, boundaries as constraints to actions and expressions, producing and redefining boundaries, and borders as spaces to overcome and define. Borders emerge as fading and moving ``in-between{''} time and space, where materiality and the individuation process can be found and expressed. (AU)
