Joining the emergent interdisciplinary investment in bridging the
social sciences and the humanities, Childhood, Agency, and Fantasy:
Walking in Other Worlds explores linkages between children's agency
and fantasy. Fantasy as an integral aspect of childhood and as a
genre allows for children's spectacular dreams and hopeful
realities. Friendship, family, identity, loyalty, belongingness,
and emotionality are central concepts explored in chapters that are
anchored by humanities texts of television, film, and literature,
but also by social science qualitative methods of participant
observation and interviews. Fantasy has the capacity to be a
revolutionary change agent that in its modernity can creatively
reflect, critique, or reimagine the social, political, and cultural
norms of our world. Such promise is also found to be true of
children's agency, wherein children's beings and becomings, rooted
in childhood's freedoms and constraints, result in a range of
outcomes. In the endeavor to expand theory and research on
children's agency, fantasy becomes a point of possibility with its
expanding subjectivities, far-reaching terrain, and spirit of
adventure.
