Taking up the understudied relationship between the cultural
history of childhood and media studies, this volume traces
twentieth-century migrations of the child-savage analogy from
colonial into postcolonial discourse across a wide range of old and
new media. Older and newer media such as films, textbooks,
children's literature, periodicals, comic strips, children's radio,
and toys are deeply implicated in each other through ongoing
'remediation', meaning that they continually mimic, absorb and
transform each other's representational formats, stylistic
features, and content. Media theory thus confronts the cultural
history of childhood with the challenge of re-thinking change in
childhood imaginaries as transformation-through-repetition
patterns, rather than as rise-shine-decline sequences. This volume
takes up this challenge, demonstrating that one historical epoch
may well accommodate diverging childhood repertoires, which are
recycled again and again as they are played out across a whole
gamut of different media formats in the course of time.
