What is a child? The concept of childhood is so familiar that we
tend to assume its universality. However, the meaning of childhood
is always being negotiated, not only by the imaginations of adults,
but also by nations, markets, history and children themselves. Yet,
as much as the question is considered by the social world, the
contributions in this book remind readers that children are also
active, embodied, and inquiring agents engaged in figuring a
relationship with that the world they inherit. This bookâs
unifying theme, "The child in question," emerges from an
assertation that childhood has boundaries far more elastic than can
be held by the familiar notion of the innocent child developing
toward a heteronormative future. The title pays homage to the work
of sociologist, Diana Gittins, who, over twenty years ago, asked
how the shifting meanings of children and childhood impact the
lives of children. The contributions of this book examine
contemporary educational policy and practice, curriculum material,
literary and visual representations, and teacher narratives to
further probe how and why it matters that childhood, as a concept
and experience, remains as multiple and elusive as ever. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the journal, Curriculum Inquiry.
