This open access book brings together the disciplines of childhood
studies, literary studies, and the environmental humanities to
focus on the figure of the child as it appears in popular culture
and theory. Drawing on theoretical works by Clare Colebrook,
Elizabeth Povinelli, Kathryn Yusoff, Donna Haraway and Bruno Latour
the book offers creative readings of sci-fi novels, short stories
and films including Frankenstein, Handmaid's Tale, The Girl with
All the Gifts, Beasts of the Southern Wild, and The Broken Earth
trilogy. Emily Ashton raises important questions about the
theorization of child development, the ontology of children,
racialization and parenting and care, and how those intersect with
questions of colonialism, climate, and indigeneity. The book
contributes to the growing scholarship within childhood studies
that is reconceptualizing the child within the Anthropocene era and
argues for child-climate futures that renounce white supremacy and
support Black and Indigenous futurities. The eBook editions of this
book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on
bloomsburycollection.com. Open access was funded by Knowledge
Unlatched.
