Children and young people in the early twenty-first century
encounter, and creatively adapt to, a range of cultural phenomena
in an increasingly mediated, commercialised and globalised world.
Children and young people's cultural worlds offers a critical
introduction to childhood in the digital age. Childhood innocence
is a concept that often underpins the way adults think about
children and new technologies. The book challenges adult concerns,
highlighting instead the diversity of children's experiences and
relationships with each other. Children's everyday activities are
explored, in an attempt to understand the distinctiveness of their
cultural worlds. The book also considers matters of difference on
children's lives; the consequences of age and the experience of
living in different cultural contexts. This is the second in a
series of four books, written by experts in the field, which
provides an introduction to childhood degree programmes and related
modules. The series features international case studies, examples
and readings to supplement the chapters, and is illustrated in full
colour. Other books in the series are: * Understanding childhood: a
cross-disciplinary approach * Childhoods in context * Local
childhoods, global issues
This book provides a timely reappraisal of youth cultures in
contemporary times. From the Birmingham School to the youthscapes
of South Korea, this unique collection explores the impact of
globalization and new technologies on youth cultures in contrasting
geographic locations. Drawing on international examples of youth
cultural formations in the UK, the USA, Russia, Spain, South Korea
and India, the book profiles the best of new research in youth
studies written by leading scholars in the field. Acknowledging the
past to explore the present, the book is a landmark publication in
the rich history of research on the expressive cultures of young
people, reframing 'resistance' and 'ritual' to offer fresh insights
into the meaning and significance of youth cultures on a global
stage.
This book is open access and available on
www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by the University of
Sussex, UK. How can we know about children's everyday lives in a
digitally saturated world? What is it like to grow up in and
through new media? What happens between the ages of 7 and 15 and
does it make sense to think of maturation as mediated? These
questions are explored in this innovative book, which synthesizes
empirical documentation of children's everyday lives with
discussions of key theoretical and methodological concepts to
provide a unique guide to researching childhood and youth.
Researching Everyday Childhoods begins by asking what recent
'post-empirical' and 'post-digital' frameworks can offer
researchers of children and young people's lives, particularly in
researching and theorising how the digital remakes childhood and
youth. The key ideas of time, technology and documentation are then
introduced and are woven throughout the book's chapters.
Research-led, the book is informed by two state of the art
empirical studies - 'Face 2 Face' and 'Curating Childhoods' - and
links to a dynamic multimedia archive generated by the studies.
