The Anthropocene is, firstly, a discourse of the earth systems
sciences. However, if humans - in all their historical, cultural,
social, economic and political diversity - are differently
implicated in the emergence and consequences of the Anthropocene,
then Childhood and Youth Studies must critically engage with, and
contribute to, debates about these planetary wide changes and their
consequences for children and young people. Well-being, resilience,
and enterprise are keywords in many policy, academic and community
discourses about contemporary populations of children and young
people around the globe. Most often these key-words take the form
of psycho-biological based encouragements for young people to care
for their own physical, mental and social health and well-being, to
develop their resilience, and to become enterprising in a world
that is taken-for-granted as being challenging and disruptive. This
collection brings a multi-disciplinary focus to discussions about
children and young people's well-being, resilience, and enterprise
to develop new ways of troubling these keywords at a time when
planetary systems - atmospheric, oceanic, terran, capitalist - are
in crisis.
