This book locates internally focused, critical perspectives
regarding the social, political, emotional, and mental growth of
children. Through the radical openness afforded by psychoanalytic
and related frameworks, the goal of this volume is to illuminate,
promote, and help situate subjectivities that are often blotted out
for both the child and society. Developmental and linear
assumptions and hegemonies are called into question. Chapters
address the challenges involved in working with children who have
experienced traumas of dis-location that do not fit neatly into
normative theories of development The emphasis is on motifs of
lostness and foundness, in terms of the geographies of the
psycho-social, and how such motifs govern and regulate what have
come to count as the normative indexes of childhood as well as how
they exclude other real childhoods. What is 'lost' in childhood
finds its way into narratives of loss in adult functioning and
these narratives are of interest since they allow us to re-theorize
ideas of child, family, and society. To that end, these essays
focus in and on dissociated places and moments across varied
childhood(s).
