This book is a genealogical foregrounding and performance of
conceptions of children and their childhoods over time. We
acknowledge that children's lives are embedded in worlds both
inside and outside of structured schooling or institutional
settings, and that this relationality informs how we think about
what it means to be a child living and experiencing childhood. The
book maps the field by taking up a cross-disciplinary, genealogical
niche to offer both an introduction to theoretical underpinnings of
emerging theories and concepts, and to provide hands-on examples of
how they might play out. This book positions children and their
everyday lived childhoods in the Anthropocene and focuses on the
interface of children's being in the everyday spaces and places of
contemporary communities and societies. In particular this book
examines how the shift towards posthuman and new materialist
perspectives continues to challenge dominant developmental, social
constructivist and structuralist theoretical approaches in diverse
ways, to help us to understand contemporary constructions of
childhoods. It recognises that while such dominant approaches have
long been shown to limit the complexity of what it means to be a
child living in the contemporary world, the traditions of many
Eurocentric theories have not addressed the diversity of children's
lives in the majority of countries or in the Global South.
