Portrayals of Children in Popular Culture: Fleeting Images, edited
by Vibiana Bowman Cvetkovic and Debbie Olson, is a collection which
examines images of "children" and "childhood" in popular culture,
including print, online, television shows, and films. The
contributors to this volume explore the constructions of "children"
and "childhood" rather than actual children or actual childhoods.
In the chapters that are concerned with depictions of actual,
individual children, the authors investigate how the images of
those children conform or "trouble" current notions of what it
means to be a child engaged in a contemporary "childhood." This is
a unique volume, because of the academic discourse which is
employed-that of "Childhood Studies." The Childhood Studies
scholars represented in this collection utilize an
interdisciplinary approach which draws upon various academic
fields-their methodologies, theoretical approaches, and scholarly
conventions-for the scholarly research in this collection.
Together, the contributions to this collection interrogate classic
notions of childhood innocence, knowledge, agency, and the fluid
position of the signifier "child" within contemporary media forms.
These interdisciplinary works function as a testament to the
infectiousness of the child image in print, television, and
cinematic contexts, and represent a new avenue of discursive
scholarship; the questions raised and connections made provide
fresh insights and unique perspectives to topics regarding children
and childhood and their representation within multiple media
platforms. The growing field of Childhood Studies is enriched by
the intellectual originality represented by this volume's authors
who ask new questions about the enduring and captivating image of
the child.
