Children, Childhood and Cultural Heritage explores how the everyday
experiences of children, and their imaginative and creative worlds,
are collected, interpreted and displayed in museums and on
monuments, and represented through objects and cultural lore. Young
people constitute up to half the population of any given society,
but their lives are inescapably influenced by the expectations and
decisions of adults. As a result, children's distinct experiences
are frequently subsumed within the broader histories and heritage
of their families and communities. And while adults inevitably play
a prominent role in children's lives, children are also active
creators of their own cultures. As this volume so vividly
demonstrate, the cultural heritage of children is rich and varied,
and highly revealing of past and present attitudes to children and
their work, play, creativity, and human rights. The essays in this
book span the experiences of children from classical Rome to the
present moment, and examine the diverse social and historical
contexts underlying the public representations of childhood in
Britain, Europe, North America, Australia, North Africa and Japan.
Case studies examine the heritage of schools and domestic spaces;
the objects and games of play; the commemoration of child Holocaust
survivors; memorials to Indigenous child-removal under colonial
regimes; children as collectors of objects and as authors of
juvenilia; curatorial practices at museums of childhood; and the
role of children as visitors to historical sites. Until now, the
cultural heritage of children and the representations of childhood
have been largely absent from scholarly discussions of museology,
heritage places and material culture. This volume rectifies that
gap, bringing together international experts in children's
histories and heritage. Aimed at a wide readership of students,
academics, and museum and heritage professionals, Children,
Childhood and Cultural Heritage authoritatively defines the key
issues in this exciting new field.
