Children and Childhood: Practices and Perspectives
Author: Chandni Basu
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 1848881797
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. "Concerns about children and childhood have emerged as part of public debate and discourse in the second half of the twentieth century. Theoretical discourse surrounding childhood has been complimented by various development initiatives taken in different parts of the world and research has emerged as an important component of this focus, which would carry forward the intellectual and other engagements concerning children and childhood. This volume brings together diverse theoretical and practical deliberations on children and childhood from various parts of the world. It explores conceptual understandings of childhood extending from historical perspectives to extreme expressions of negativity like childism. An historical perspective illuminates the image and imagination of the child in various art forms. The constructed connotation of childhood is portrayed through its cultural comparisons. The close connection of childhood and institutions is explored through the projection and presence of children in schools and legal structures."

International Handbook of Children, Media and Culture
Author: Kirsten Drotner
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1446206645
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 561
Book Description
This essential volume brings together the work of internationally-renowned researchers, each experts in their field, in order to capture the diversity of children and young people′s media cultures around the world. Why are the media such a crucial part of children′s daily lives? Are they becoming more important, more influential, and in what ways? Or does a historical perspective reveal how past media have long framed children′s cultural horizons or, perhaps, how families - however constituted - have long shaped the ways children relate to media? In addressing such questions, the contributors present detailed empirical cases to uncover how children weave together diverse forms and technologies to create a rich symbolic tapestry which, in turn, shapes their social relationships. At the same time, many concerns - even public panics - arise regarding children′s engagement with media, leading the contributors also to inquire into the risky or problematic aspects of today′s highly mediated world. Deliberately selected to represent as many parts of the globe as possible, and with a commitment to recognizing both the similarities and differences in children and young people′s lives - from China to Denmark, from Canada to India, from Japan to Iceland, from - the authors offer a rich contextualization of children′s engagement with their particular media and communication environment, while also pursuing cross-cutting themes in terms of comparative and global trends. Each chapter provides a clear orientation for new readers to the main debates and core issues addressed, combined with a depth of analysis and argumentation to stimulate the thinking of advanced students and established scholars. Since children and young people are a focus of study across different disciplines, the volume is thoroughly multi-disciplinary. Yet since children and young people are all too easily neglected by these same disciplines, this volume hopes to accord their interests and concerns they surely merit.
