Different Childhoods: Non/Normative Development and Transgressive Trajectories

Editat de Lindsay O'Dell, Charlotte Brownlow, Hanna Bertilsdotter-Rosqvist
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 oct 2017
Different Childhoods: Non/Normative Development and Transgressive Trajectories opens up new avenues for exploring children’s development as contextual, provisional and locally produced, rather than a unitary, universal and consistent process. This edited collection frames a critical exploration of the trajectory against which children are seen to be ‘different’ within three key themes: deconstructing ‘developmental tasks’, locating development and the limits of childhood. Examining the particular kinds of ‘transgressive’ development, contributors discuss instances of ‘difference’ including migration, work, assumptions of vulnerability, trans childhoods, friendships and involvement in crime. Including both empirical and theoretical discussions, the book builds on existing debates as part of the interrogation of ‘different childhoods’. This book provides essential reading for students wishing to explore notions of development while also being of interest to both academics and practitioners working across a broad area of disciplines such as developmental psychology, sociology, childhood studies and critical criminology.

Recenzii

‘A timely, creatively imagined and wide-ranging collection that not only demonstrates the exclusionary consequences of narrow, normative models of development but also how their transgression and transformation remains an urgent political project that goes beyond mere inclusion to the emancipation of all.’ Erica Burman, Professor of Education, University of Manchester
‘Different Childhoods presents fresh thinking on the implications of the entrenched developmental thinking that, particularly in the affluent Minority World, constructs a narrow range of particular childhoods as normative and all others as ‘non-normative’ transgressions. Taking an intersectional perspective, it offers rich, persuasive analyses that of how age comes to be mobilised in policy decisions and the popular imagination in attempts to exclude unaccompanied minors seeking refuge. This book extends understanding of childhood as diverse and situated in particular geographical and social contexts. In doing so it exemplifies the range of childhoods and children excluded from developmental thinking and the importance of recognising the local, contingent and partial nature of analyses that naturalise normative notions of development. In the best possible way, this collection of essays themselves constitute a transgressive text that deserves to be widely read. Together they show why theory matters for everyday policies and practices dealing with children and childhood.’, Ann Phoenix, Professor at the Institute of Education, University College London
