Children have been a part of the cinematic landscape since the
silent film era, yet children are rarely a part of the theoretical
landscape of film analysis. Lost and Othered Children in
Contemporary Cinema, edited by Debbie C. Olson and Andrew Scahill,
seeks to remedy that oversight. Throughout the over one-hundred
year history of cinema, the image of the child has been
inextricably bound to filmic storytelling and has been equally
bound to notions of romantic innocence and purity. This collection
reveals, however, that there is a body of work that provides a
counter note of darkness to the traditional portraits of sweetness
and light. Particularly since the mid-twentieth century, there are
a growing number of cinematic works that depict childhood has as a
site of knowingness, despair, sexuality, death, and madness. Lost
and Othered Children in Contemporary Cinema challenges notions of
the innocent child through an exploration of the dark side of
childhood in contemporary cinema. The contributors to this
multidisciplinary study offer a global perspective that explores
the multiple conditions of marginalized childhood as cinematically
imagined within political, geographical, sociological, and cultural
contexts.
