This book makes the case for young children as both keenly
materially aware of and highly dependent on sets of interrelated
material-discursive circumstances. It argues that long-term
engagement with children around the topic of meaning-matter
relations upends many taken-for-granted notions of consumption,
self-regulation, knowledge production, and what constitutes quality
of life within a school setting. The book provides complex accounts
of agency on multiple scales - the capability of children to shape
and share research, the force of objects, stuff, and things to
impact the "social" workings of a classroom, and the impact of
nonhuman animals on the trajectory of the ways in which children
relate to each other. This work makes a significant contribution to
both theoretical conceptions and practical enactments of
childhoods, productively addressing the many contradictions
inherent in a posthuman and participatory approach to researching
with young children. It also offers insights into how the everyday
materialities of children's classrooms (and their complex
representations) are capable of disrupting the common-sense order
of things.
