Opis

"Childhoods in Context" offers a critical exploration of childhood, drawing attention to the physical and social contexts of children s lives. Through accounts of home and family, school, public spaces, and work, the contributors explore three key arguments: childhood is always located "somewhere" either in a place designed for children or territories that children develop for themselves; childhood is experienced through objects, people, places, and everyday routines; and childhood and adult identities are relational understandings of childhood are dependent on how adulthood is viewed.Raising important questions about methodological approaches to understanding childhoods in context, this book provides a framework for investigating wider questions about childhood, including the power relationships between adults and children and the influence of gender and inequality."
