This work examines how children's bodies are constructed in
schools, families, courts, hospitals and in film. Recognizing that
children's bodies are a target for adult practices of social
regulation, the contributors show that children are also active in
their construction, employ them in resistance and social action,
and generate their own meanings about them. The editor, a
sociologist of childhood, draws out the theoretical implications of
this work, indicates the limits of social constructionism, and
suggests new ways of thinking about the hybrid of material,
discursive and collective processes involved.
