The Embodied Child: Readings in Children's Literature and Culture
brings together essays that offer compelling analyses of children's
bodies as they read and are read, as they interact with literature
and other cultural artifacts, and as they are constructed in
literature and popular culture. The chapters examine the ideology
behind the cultural constructions of the child's body and the
impact they have on society, and how the child's body becomes a
carrier of cultural ideology within the cultural imagination. They
also consider the portrayal of children's bodies in terms of the
seeming dichotomies between healthy-vs-unhealthy bodies as well as
able-bodied-vs-disabled, and examines flesh-and-blood bodies that
engage with literary texts and other media. The contributors bring
perspectives from anthropology, communication, education, literary
criticism, cultural studies, philosophy, physical education, and
religious studies. With wide and astute coverage of disparate
literary and cultural texts, and lively scholarly discussions in
the introductions to the collection and to each section, this book
makes a long-needed contribution to discussions of the body and the
child.
