What does it mean to think of children as social subjects and how
should we go about studying childhood in society? Childhood is a
key site where children come to understand themselves as particular
kinds of people, not only as individuals but also as members of
social and cultural groups. This compelling and accessible book
explores how immature humans enter into political, economic, social
and cultural life. Integrating key theories from a range of
disciplines, Karen Wells provides a set of analytical tools to
explore how culture, society, politics and economics shape
childhood and children's lives. She explains how childhood is not
only culturally shaped, but also formed at the intersection of
politics and economics. At this intersection between governing
practices and the affordances of children's bodies, young subjects
are made. Childhood Studies will be essential reading for students
and scholars in childhood and youth studies and related
disciplines, and for anyone who wants to understand the impacts of
social inequality on children and what it means to be a child in
the contemporary world.
