The visual has become a central theme in the study of childhood
both as a research subject and a research method. The last two
decades have seen huge interest in how children are represented in
visual culture and how they in turn engage with visual cultures -
as producers, audiences, and sometimes both. This innovative book
gives a historical and geographic perspective on visual cultures of
childhood, looking at representation as well as media effects. The
main themes of the book are the strong presence of children in
visual cultures in the modern period and the uses of this visual
record for understanding how childhood is represented and
constructed - as gendered, racialised and class-based. It covers
social realism, melodrama and activism. Visual cultures of
childhood are significant cultural resources that children draw on
to understand and learn how to perform social identities. The
access that teens now have to making their own visual productions
and how the representation of gender, race and class than they
produce compare to those produced by adults for children is
interesting and very rich ground to conduct research on. It also
speaks to current political concerns about, for example, how youth
understand citizenship.
