Using Film to Understand Childhood and Practice is an innovative
and lively text which allows complex and challenging issues within
childhood studies to be explored using the medium of filmed drama.
By utilising popular culture, this book provides accessible
narratives to students and lecturers needing to engage with complex
theoretical ideas. In exposing theories to tangible situations
often from more than one perspective in films, readers are helped
to identify and recognise how theories about children and childhood
can be applied. Each chapter uses a specific film to provide the
basis for discussion in order to explore and analyse key concepts
within childhood studies which include identity, social
construction, families, political and biological narratives,
children's rights and participation. A range of international films
are used including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Rabbit Proof
Fence, The Hunger Games and The Red Balloon. First introducing the
theoretical perspective to be discussed, chapters also include a
contextual explanation of the film and list the specific scenes
that will be used to guide students through. Concluding with
discussion questions, students are asked to consider how the
theories discussed might be translated in to their own experiences
of children, childhood and practice. Not only supporting
understanding of core principles and key ideas across any childhood
studies degree, this book supports students throughout their
university career and beyond by engaging with the journey of
becoming a graduate as well as discussion of workplace issues and
concepts after graduation.
