Produktbeschreibung

Focusing on the late 20th and the early 21st centuries, this collection assembles contributions concerned with current political, social, and cultural dimensions of childhood in the UK. Chapters address a broad spectrum of contemporary childhood issues, including debates on child protection, school dress codes, the media, parenting strategies, the representation and construction of children in audiovisual media, and literary awards for children's fiction. Joining perspectives from various disciplines, including art history, education, law, film and TV studies, sociology, and literary studies, this volume endorses a transdisciplinary and meta-theoretical approach to the study of childhood.
