Disclosing Childhoods offers a critical account of knowledge
production in childhood studies. The book argues for the need to be
reflexive about the knowledge practices of the field and to
scrutinize the role of researchers in disclosing certain childhoods
rather than others. A relational lens is used to critique the
ongoing fixation of childhood studies with the unitary child-agent
and to re-introduce the question of ontology in knowledge
production. The author provides a critical account of childhood
studies' trajectory, as well as exploring the key concepts of
voice, agency and participation, illustrating the potential of a
reflexive stance towards knowledge production. Drawing on
poststructuralist and posthumanist thinking, each of these concepts
is critiqued for its conceptual limits while productive avenues are
offered to reconfigure their utility. Spyrou also addresses the
ethics and politics of knowledge production and considers key
emerging insights which can contribute towards the development of a
more reflexive and critical childhood studies. Students and
scholars across a range of disciplines, including childhood
studies, anthropology, sociology and geography, will find this book
of interest, as well as those interested in qualitative research
methodology and social theory.
