'Learning Bodies' addresses the lack of attention paid to the body
in youth and childhood studies. Whilst a significant range of work
on this area has explored gender, class, race and ethnicity, and
sexualities - all of which have bodily dimensions - the body is
generally studied indirectly, rather than being the central focus.
This collection of papers brings together a scholarly range of
international, interdisciplinary work on youth, with a specific
focus on the body. The authors engage with conceptual, empirical
and pedagogical approaches which counteract perspectives that view
young people's bodies primarily as 'problems' to be managed, or as
sites of risk or deviance. The authors demonstrate that a focus on
the body allows us to explore a range of additional dimensions in
seeking to understand the experiences of young people. The research
is situated across a range of sites in Australia, North America,
Britain, Canada, Asia and Africa, drawing on a range of disciplines
including sociology, education and cultural studies in the process.
This collection aims to demonstrate - theoretically, empirically
and pedagogically - the implications that emerge from a reframed
approach to understanding children and youth by focusing on the
body and embodiment.
