Opis

Growing up in an increasingly media-saturated, commercial, and globalized world, children and young people in contemporary society encounter and must creatively adapt to a range of cultural phenomena. Offering a critical introduction to childhood in the digital age, "Children and Young People s Cultural Worlds" challenges common concepts and concerns about childhood innocence held by many adults. It examines the diversity of childhood experiences and relationships the distinctiveness of children s worlds and explores topics such as the consequences of age and the experience of living in different cultural contexts.Utilizing contributions from scholars in a variety of different fields, it is interdisciplinary and international in scope. Including resources for teachers and students such as learning outcomes, activities, and additional readings and commentary, this well-written and beautifully presented book will be a valuable resource to anyone interested in new perspectives on childhood in the digital age."
