本文就当前儿童研究中关于儿童声音及其表征的争论进行了探讨。在这个讨论中，经常使用的绘画技术在儿童研究往往是突出的问题。虽然同意有必要批判性地审视“儿童的声音”的概念和“声音”的生产研究，作者认为，可能性和必要的反思性和创造性的研究，使“发声”的其他人-如儿童-和可能性的社会学分析的绘画方法。阐述了目前的研究项目在瑞典的儿童和护理的介绍和讨论的论点。作者讨论了两种方法，在采访中使用的儿童-画你的一天练习和同心圆的亲密关系-一起帮助儿童和研究人员叙述的做法和关系的照顾，否则会被掩盖。虽然出现的叙述不能被视为提供“真实的”洞察到儿童的照顾情况，他们可以被视为有助于一个更复杂和多层次的照顾，这是一个宝贵的贡献，家庭和人际关系的研究领域。
This article engages with the current debate in childhood research on children's voices and representation in the research process. In this discussion, the frequent use of drawing techniques in childhood research is often highlighted as especially problematic. While agreeing that there is a need to critically examine the concept of 'children's voices' and the production of 'voices' in research, the author argues for the possibility of and need for reflexive and creative research enabling the 'voicing' of others - such as children - and the possibilities of a sociological analysis of drawing methods. The argument is elaborated with a presentation and discussion of a current research project on children and care in Sweden. The author discusses two of the methods used in interviews with children - a draw-your-day exercise and concentric circles of closeness - which together help the child and the researcher narrativize practices and relationships of care that would otherwise be obscured. While the narratives that emerge cannot be viewed as providing 'authentic' insights into the caring situation of the child, they can be regarded as contributing to a more complex and multi-layered picture of care, which is a valuable contribution to the research field of family and interpersonal relationships.
