In the light of the complex demographic shifts associated with late
modernity and the impetus of neo-liberal politics, childhood
continues all the more to operate as a repository for the
articulation of diverse social and cultural anxieties. Since the
Thatcher years, juvenile delinquency, child poverty, and protection
have been persistent issues in public discourse. Simultaneously,
childhood has advanced as a popular subject in the arts, as the
wealth of current films and novels in this field indicates.
Focusing on the late twentieth and the early twenty-first
centuries, this collection assembles contributions concerned with
current political, social, and cultural dimensions of childhood in
the United Kingdom. The individual chapters, written by
internationally renowned experts from the social sciences and the
humanities, address a broad spectrum of contemporary childhood
issues, including debates on child protection, school dress codes,
the media, the representation and construction of children in
audiovisual media, and literary awards for children's fiction.
Appealing to a wide scholarly audience by joining perspectives from
various disciplines, including art history, education, law, film
and TV studies, sociology, and literary studies, this volume
endorses a transdisciplinary and meta-theoretical approach to the
study of childhood. It seeks to both illustrate and dismantle the
various ways in which childhood has been implicitly and explicitly
conceived in different disciplines in the wake of the
constructivist paradigm shift in childhood studies.
