This book offers a new approach for theorising and undertaking
childhood research. It combines insights from childhood and
generational studies with object-oriented ontologies, new
materialisms, critical race and gender theories to address a range
of key, intractable challenges facing children and young people.
Bringing together traditional social-scientific research methods
with techniques from digital media studies, archaeology,
environmental nanoscience and the visual arts, After Childhood:
Re-thinking Environment, Materiality and Media in Children's Lives
presents a way of doing childhood research that sees children move
in and out of focus. In doing so, children and their experiences
are not completely displaced; rather, new perspectives on concerns
facing children around the world are unravelled which dominant
approaches to childhood studies have not yet fully addressed. The
book draws on the author's detailed case studies from his research
in historical and geographical contexts. Examples range from
British children's engagement with plastics, energy and other
matter, to the positioning of diverse Brazilian young people in
environmental and resource challenges, and from archaeological
evidence about childhoods in the USA and Europe to the global
circulation of children's toys through digital media. The book will
appeal to human geographers, sociologists, anthropologists,
education studies scholars and others working in the
interdisciplinary field of childhood studies, as well as to anyone
looking for a range of novel, interdisciplinary frames for thinking
about childhood.
