Reimagining Childhood Studies incites, and provides a forum for,
dialogue and debate about the direction and impetus for critical
and global approaches to social-cultural studies of children and
their childhoods. Set against the backdrop of a quarter century of
research and theorising arising out of the "new" social studies of
childhood, each of the 13 original contributions strives to extend
the conceptual reach and relevance of the work being undertaken in
the dynamic and expanding field of childhood studies in the 21st
century. Internationally renowned contributors engage with
contemporary scholarship from both the global north and south to
address questions of power, inequity, reflexivity, subjectivities
and representation from poststructuralist, posthumanist,
postcolonial, feminist, queer studies and political economy
perspectives. In so doing, the book provides a deconstructive and
reconstructive dialogue, offering a renewed agenda for future
scholarship. The book also moves the insights of childhood studies
beyond the boundaries of this field, helping to mainstream insights
about children's everyday lives from this burgeoning area of study
and avoid the dangers of marginalizing both children and
scholarship about childhood. This carefully curated collection
extends beyond critiques of specified research arenas, traditions,
concepts or approaches to serve as a bridge in the transformation
of childhood studies at this important juncture in its history.
